Beaver Concepts brings architectural design, construction, MEP engineering and cost estimation together for homeowners, developers and businesses in Kenya.
Drawings, engineering, cost and site under one roof
Use one discipline when you need it, or all six together. Combined, the design is costed while it is still cheap to change, and the people who draw the building answer for how it is built.
One team, one contract, one set of answers
Design and build means one firm takes responsibility for the architectural design, engineering, costing and construction of your project under a single contract. Beaver Concepts delivers this for homeowners, developers and businesses in Nairobi and the surrounding counties, with the drawings, bill of quantities and build programme prepared together rather than one after the other.

Homes and buildings designed around how you live
Beaver Concepts provides architectural design in Nairobi and across Kenya, from house plans and apartment blocks to commercial buildings, including 3D visualisation, interior design and county approval drawings. Our drawings are coordinated with structural and MEP design from the start, so what is approved is what can be built and priced.

Built to the drawings, reported stage by stage
Beaver Concepts builds bungalows, maisonettes, apartments, commercial buildings and renovations for homeowners, developers and commercial clients in Nairobi and the surrounding counties. Every build is priced from a bill of quantities, programmed before work starts, and reported on with dated photographs so you can follow progress from anywhere.

Scope, time and cost, held in balance
Construction project management is the discipline of delivering a building to the agreed scope and quality, on programme and within budget, by planning the work, controlling change and reporting honestly on progress. Beaver Concepts provides it with an in-house team of architects, engineers, quantity surveyors and site managers, for homeowners, developers and commercial clients.

The systems that make a building work
MEP engineering covers the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems that make a building work: ventilation and cooling, power and lighting, water supply and drainage, fire protection, solar and borehole systems. Beaver Concepts designs these systems for homeowners, developers and commercial clients in Nairobi and across Kenya, coordinated with the architecture and structure from the outset.

Know the cost before you build
Cost estimation is how you find out what a building will cost before you commit to it: bills of quantities, cost plans, feasibility studies and audits of costs already incurred. Beaver Concepts provides quantity surveying in Nairobi and across Kenya for homeowners, developers and businesses who want a defensible number, not a guess.
Explore cost estimationFive stages, each with a clear output you approve before the next begins. You always know what has been done, what it cost and what comes next.
We confirm your needs, budget and plot, and review ownership documents and site conditions.
Concept, approval drawings and coordinated engineering, submitted to the county.
A measured bill of quantities, so you know the price before you commit to build.
Supervised against the drawings, with stage payments and photographic progress reports.
Snagging, testing and as-built information, then a defects period.

Clear progress, costs and decisions
Whether you visit the site regularly or follow progress remotely, you need a clear view of the work. Coordinated drawings, cost updates and progress reports help you make informed decisions.
Progress reports with dated photographs at every stage, so you never rely on someone else's word.
Payments tied to completed, verifiable stages rather than the calendar.
The people who draw the building answer for how it is built.
We work with homeowners, developers and businesses on projects in Kenya, from individual design or costing services to coordinated design and construction. Clients based abroad can also discuss their projects with us and follow progress remotely.
The architect designs the building and prepares the approval drawings. Engineers design the structure and the services: mechanical, electrical and plumbing. The quantity surveyor measures and prices the design, and manages cost. On a good project all three coordinate from the start.
Yes. Building plans need county government approval before construction starts, and larger or environmentally sensitive developments may also need approval from NEMA. Approved drawings must be prepared by registered professionals.
Usually proof of ownership such as a title deed or lease, a recent official search, the survey plan for the plot, and your brief and approximate budget. If you do not have everything yet, we can start with a site review and tell you what is missing.
A bill of quantities lists every item of work with measured quantities, so contractors price the same scope and you can compare their prices fairly. It also gives you a basis for checking variations and valuations later.
Use the quote form, message us on WhatsApp, or call. Tell us the type of project, the county, the plot or floor area, and your budget and timeline, and we will come back with the next steps.
Share your plot, brief and budget. We reply with clear next steps and a written fee or cost proposal.
