Client to Prepare for Site Survey: Our first approach is to tour the site to check the suitability and obtain measurements.
Site Preparation by the Client – if the allocated space has rocks, bushes or hilly surfaces, the client should work on it.
Quotation of the materials – we prepare a quotation based on the measurement size and greenhouse type chosen by the client.
Payment and verification – the client pay and once we verify, the materials are prepared.
Planning for the installation: We schedule a day we will install your greenhouse.
Onset of the greenhouse installation: delivery and installation projects starts.
Completion of the project: after the scheduled duration, we complete the greenhouse installation project.

Greenhouse in Kenya Benefits

Increase in seasonal production or harvests – harvests exceed that of open field or outside farms.
Production of high-quality yields – due to disease and climate control, the yield is of high quality.
Farming with less risks unlike open farming – risks of drought, diseases and weather effects are much lower.
Harvest go for long periods – growing cycle takes a longer time due to optimal conditions. For example, capsicum is harvested for up to 6 months.
