Who we are

A Kenyan contractor that takes budget, schedule and quality equally seriously

Primebuild Construction Limited is a professional general, civil and fit-out construction company based on Wood Avenue in Kilimani, Nairobi, carrying out projects all over Kenya.

The firm holds a pool of highly qualified and experienced professionals. Staff and equipment are its core assets - available to any future project, however complicated. Primebuild is committed to professionalism and places the interests of its clients above its own, applying high standards and established procedures to meet clients' statutory requirements.

For clients who want design and construction under one roof, Primebuild holds a full-service architecture, interior design, engineering, construction management and project management team.

Our approach

Integrated Project Delivery

Primebuild practices Integrated Project Delivery: bringing major and specialist design skills into a single managed service, producing holistic concepts with consistent principles and coordinated solutions.

  • 01

    Singular design team management

    One team leads architecture, interior design, engineering and construction management, so direction never fragments between consultants.

  • 02

    No responsibility gaps

    Every discipline sits inside one contract. Nothing falls between a designer's scope and a contractor's scope.

  • 03

    Managed interfaces

    The points where trades meet - the joints where programmes usually slip - are actively coordinated rather than left to be discovered on site.

  • 04

    One building information model

    A single model carries the project from concept to handover, so clashes surface on screen instead of in concrete.

Who we build for

How much does construction cost in Kenya?
