The construction industry in Kenya is set to undergo significant changes following the introduction of the new national building code 2024 which aims to enhance the standards, safety, sustainability and efficiency in building practices.
The National Construction Authority (NCA), whose main mandate is to regulate the sector has organised countrywide workshops to train and develop the capacity of professionals in the industry about the new building code.
In Nandi County, the NCA held a workshop last Tuesday at a local hotel attended by key stakeholders, including contractors, site supervisors and the general public.
Kathy Kibowen, who is an architect consulting for NCA took the participants through the building code, highlighting the key provisions of the building code 2024.
