The National Building Code 2024 in Kenya introduces stringent regulations for new constructions, focusing on boundary walls, windows, and setbacks to ensure safety, privacy, and orderly urban development.

• Boundary walls are capped at a maximum height of 2.4 metres.
• The code, developed by urban planners and enforced by county governments and the National Construction Authority, aims to prevent disputes and maintain neighbourhood aesthetics.
• Violations can lead to orders to alter or demolish structures, with affected homeowners encouraged to file complaints with relevant authorities.
