Whether you’re building a family home, a commercial facility, or a government-funded public structure, choosing the right contractor is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. In the competitive Kenya construction industry, this choice can mean the difference between a seamless experience and a costly headache.

Here’s how to choose a contractor who will deliver real value:

1. Check Credentials and Licensing: Always verify that your contractor is registered and fully licensed by the National Construction Authority (NCA). This ensures adherence to legal and safety standards.
2. Review Past Projects: A strong portfolio speaks volumes. Look for similar works the contractor has handled, this gives insight into their style, attention to detail, and experience handling specific types of projects.
3. Ask for References: Speaking directly with past clients can reveal things you won’t find in a company brochure. Were deadlines met? Was communication open? Was the budget respected?
4. Prioritize Transparency: A good contractor offers a clear contract, detailed quotations, and realistic timelines. They’re upfront about risks, processes, and responsibilities.
5. Evaluate Communication Skills: You’ll be working closely with your contractor, so regular updates and mutual understanding are essential. Choose someone who listens and responds clearly.
