The construction and infrastructure sector in Kenya is a critical driver of economic development. Legal frameworks governing this sector, such as the National Construction Authority Act and the Building Code, establish standards for construction practices, contractor registration, and project management.

Compliance with these laws ensures safety, quality, and sustainability of construction projects. They address issues related to zoning, permits, environmental impact assessments, and occupational safety. Legal oversight helps prevent project delays, cost overruns, and disputes that can arise from non-compliance.

Dispute resolution mechanisms, including arbitration and mediation, are often favored in the construction sector due to their efficiency. Legal advisors play a crucial role in contract drafting, risk management, and navigating regulatory approvals. As Kenya continues to invest in infrastructure, solid legal foundations are essential to support complex projects and drive the nation’s growth.
