Members of the public have been urged to embrace the newly launched National Building Code, 2024, which introduces wide-ranging reforms designed to improve safety, accountability, and sustainability in Kenya's construction sector.
The call was made during a sensitisation forum held at the Sunshine Hotel in Kericho, which brought together architects, engineers, contractors, planners, developers, and county officials.
Taking the lead in the sensitisation, Architect Kathy Kibowen from the National Construction Authority emphasised the critical role the new Code would play in shaping the future of Kenya's built environment.
She noted that the Code represents a timely response to long-standing gaps in the construction industry and reflects a clear shift toward more professional, standardised, and climate-responsive practices. "The newly introduced Code sets a clear benchmark for safety, quality, and accountability in the construction sector across Kenya.
