Civil Engineering Works

Earthworks, drainage structures and road-side civils, delivered under the same directly supervised model as our building work.

Overview

About Civil Engineering

Primebuild Construction Limited is registered as a general, civil and fit-out construction company, and civil works sit alongside building work in the firm's day-to-day delivery. The photographed work in Primebuild's company profile includes a twin-cell reinforced concrete box culvert installed with tracked plant on a rural road.

Civil work rewards the things Primebuild already organises around: directly held plant and operators, supervision that is present on site, and a contractor who takes the constraints of budget and schedule seriously. Ground conditions, drainage and access are decided early and cheaply, or late and expensively.

Projects are carried out across Kenya from the firm's Nairobi base.

Why Primebuild

What you get with Civil Engineering

Plant and operators as core assets

The company profile states plainly that staff and equipment are the firm's great assets, at the disposal of the firm on any project however complicated.

Structures and earthworks together

Excavation, formwork, reinforcement and concrete under one contractor, so a culvert or headwall is not waiting on a separate subcontractor's programme.

Registered contractor

Registration with the National Construction Authority and the Ministry of Water & Sanitation - the latter directly relevant to drainage and water-related civils.

Nationwide delivery

Primebuild carries out projects all over Kenya, not only within Nairobi.

Our process

How the work runs

The same sequence on every project, whatever its size.

  1. Site and ground appraisal

    Access, levels, drainage patterns and ground conditions established before a price is fixed.

  2. Setting out

    Levels and alignments established and checked against the design.

  3. Earthworks

    Excavation, cut and fill, and compaction to the specified standard.

  4. Structures

    Formwork, reinforcement and concrete for culverts, headwalls, channels and associated structures.

  5. Reinstatement and handover

    Backfill, surfacing where in scope, drainage proving and handover.
