Your Project’s Structural Partner Across Africa
When millions are on the line and your building must perform, you need an engineering team that brings deep regional expertise and international standards to every design decision.
How We Engineer Differently
BIM-First Design
We use Building Information Modelling from day one—not as an add-on. This means every structural element is coordinated with architectural, mechanical, and electrical systems before construction begins, catching clashes on screen instead of on site.
Value Engineering Built In
We don’t design and then optimise. Cost efficiency is embedded in our process from the first concept sketch. Our clients regularly see 10–20% savings on structural costs compared to conventional approaches, without compromising safety or performance.
Sustainability by Design
Environmentally responsible construction isn’t optional in 2026. We integrate sustainable material selection, waste reduction strategies, and energy-conscious design into every project—because the structures we design today must perform for generations.
Regional Roots, International Standards
Our engineers are accredited across Eurocodes, British Standards, and American Standards. But what sets us apart is 40 years of on-the-ground experience in East Africa—understanding local materials, local contractors, local regulatory landscapes, and the unique challenges of building in this region.
