Sourcing Solutions for Kenya Projects

As Kenya continues to lead East Africa in commercial real estate and large-scale infrastructure, the demand for certified, high-performance building materials is essential. We bridge the gap between international manufacturers and Kenyan project sites with efficient logistics via Mombasa.

  • Corporate Developers: you need spec-accurate drywall systems, acoustic panels, and high-end finishes for office towers in Westlands or Upper Hill.
  • MEP Engineers: you need access to international brands for lighting, electrical distribution, and advanced plumbing systems with full certification.
  • Hospitality & Residential Teams: you need consolidated shipments of premium sanitaryware and tiles for hotels and modern apartment developments.

Have a BoQ or technical spec? Send it over. We quote line-by-line and only propose equivalents that are certified to match your project requirements.

High-Demand Categories for Kenya

Commonly requested categories for the Kenyan market include:

  • Drywall & Gypsum Systems: KNAUF moisture-resistant and fire-rated boards, including specialized acoustic profiles for commercial interiors.
  • Insulation & Acoustic Panels: High-density mineral wool and architectural acoustic solutions for modern workspaces.
  • Electrical & Lighting: LED lighting systems, industrial conduits, and high-quality distribution boards for large developments.
  • Sanitary & Bath: Premium international fixtures, mixers, and wellness solutions for the hospitality and luxury residential sectors.
  • European Timber & Boards: Graded European whitewood and spruce for structural framing and high-quality interior woodwork.

Origin options (optimized for Kenya)

We find the origin that best balances your budget, lead time, and certification needs:

  • Southern Europe (Spain/Italy): The standard for high-end architectural finishes and specialized building systems.
  • UAE (Dubai/Jebel Ali): The primary hub for rapid consolidation and high-quality MEP products for East Africa.
  • Turkey: Competitive sourcing for structural components, fit-out materials, and volume commodities.

Can you source specific fire-rated or acoustic certifications?

Yes, all our systems (like KNAUF or Rockwool) come with full technical documentation to meet Kenyan building code and project-specific requirements.
