Saunas and cold plunges for Kacyiru residences

Who signs the order

When the client is an organisation, the questions arrive in a different order: who owns the cabin when the lease ends, who maintains it, and whether it can be removed without making good. Our demountable specification answers all three — a bolted frame, one service connection point, no chasing into walls, and a cabin that comes apart in a day.

Procurement teams also want paper: an itemised quotation, a contract in USD or EUR with the Incoterms stated, phased invoices, an operating manual and a named contact for service. Those come with every project we deliver; they are not extras reserved for institutional clients.

Residences and staff housing

For a head-of-mission residence, a sauna or a small spa room is part of the house's hospitality. For staff rotating back from field postings, it is somewhere to decompress between long weeks. Either way the room must be simple to run: controls a household staff member can operate after a short handover, and a service interval that fits the facilities team's calendar.

Many of these households entertain in the evening, so a cabin within sight of the terrace, with a plunge or a cold shower beside it, gets far more use than a room hidden at the far end of the house.

Typical budget in Kacyiru

Every band is supplied and installed with EAC duty and 18% VAT inside; civil works and the cable from the board are quoted separately. For a staff gym, the layout logic is on our gym recovery zone page.

Access and delivery

Plots are generous and mostly level to gently sloping, and the main roads are paved, so a flatbed usually reaches the gate. The complication is security: several streets pass diplomatic compounds and government buildings, and gated residences check every vehicle and every name. We send the lorry registration, the crew list and the delivery window to your security team in advance and keep to the hours the guard post agrees.

Many residences already have three-phase supply, so heater size is a choice rather than a limit. Where a house is on single phase, REG's meter fee is the same RWF 56,000 for single or three phase (REG New Connection Policy); the real cost of the upgrade is the cabling.
