Over the last decade we have delivered dozens of residential, multi-family and commercial projects across Nairobi and beyond. In this piece we distil the four things that separated the projects that finished on time and on budget from those that did not.
1. Front-load the planning
Every hour of good planning saves roughly three hours of rework in construction. Feasibility studies and realistic scheduling are not optional.
2. One point of accountability
Successful projects had a single accountable owner-rep from day one. When accountability was distributed, so was the drift.
3. Integrated quality control
Quality is a plan, not an inspection. Our quality program begins at design review and continues through commissioning.
4. Human-centered delivery
The most sustainable projects are the ones where the people who will live, work and manage the facility are part of the conversation early.
