Consortium Consultancy
We work with most of the top structural, civil, mechanical and electrical engineers, and quantity surveyors in Kenya. Not all consultants of equal credentials are equally qualified to take on say industrial and commercial projects. We therefore carefully build up teams of consultants based on their immediate suitability to undertake a certain project. We encourage our clients to meet and interview consultants before appointments are made.
​
 
We offer Consortium Services, with all the Consultants working under our Firm. This enables our clients to work directly with us, without having to deal with individual Consultants together with their separate contracts for individual Consultants.
Architecture
The Architect is traditionally the Team leader of the Project Consultancy Team. The Architect develops the Client’s brief into concept sketches, and then into full design drawings and details. These are then circulated to all the Consortium Consultants for their individual input into the Project. Drawings are all then continually interchanged through a series of Design Team Meetings, until they are developed sufficiently for the Quantity Surveyos to produce their Bills of Quantities ready for tendering.
​
It is the Architect’s responsibility to co-ordinated all aspects of the Architectural, Structural and Engineering Services Design throughout the Project.
