To estimate the total budget in Kenyan Shillings (KES) for a 100m x 70m (7,000 sqm) commercial gym in Kisumu, consider:

Construction Costs

• Kisumu is in the Nyanza/Western region, where commercial construction costs range approximately between KES 58,610 and KES 97,880 per sqm (2025 data).

• Using an average mid-range estimate: KES 78,000 per sqm.

• Construction total = 7,000 sqm x KES 78,000 = KES 546,000,000

Gym Equipment Costs

• For commercial gym equipment at this scale, budgets typically range from KES 20,000,000 to 50,000,000 depending on quality and variety.

Additional Costs

• Professional fees (architects, engineers, project management): Around 10%-15% of construction costs, ~ KES 54,600,000 – 81,900,000

• Permits, licenses, and initial marketing: Approximately KES 5,000,000 – 10,000,000

• Interior finishes, lighting, HVAC, security, and other furnishings: Around KES 50,000,000 – 70,000,000
