Overview
Kenya has a well-developed construction industry. Quality engineering, building and architectural design services are readily available. This industry is currently on an upward trend following rehabilitation and reconstruction of roads and bridges under the El Nino Emergency Funds and Kenya Urban Transport Infrastructure Program. With increase in population, opportunities exist in the construction of residential, commercial and industrial buildings, including prefabricated low-cost housing.
