Earlier today, NCA held a stakeholder validation workshop for the roadmap towards enhancing the uptake of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology in Kenya.

NCA remains unwavering in its commitment to promoting the highest standards of practice within the construction industry focusing on safety,wellness and quality through contractor registration,project approval and enforcing codes for proper ventilation,materials and site safety.

'Today's session is critical for stakeholder buy in and engagement; the State Department and @MinistryOfLands are walking with us during this process to add as much value as possible.' @EngMauriceAkech speaking during the review workshop. ^WK #ReviewofNCAActandRegulations

The National Building Code went through wide consultations putting into priority both local and international best practices to enhance the standards of construction, ensuring safety & efficiency in building practices aligning Kenya's construction standards with Vision 2030.

Professional Bodies like @TheIEK,@aak_qs,@Arch_KE,@LawSocietyofKe are crucial in the implementation of the new Building Code 2024 through targeted awareness and training campaigns.We are working closely with these very important associations to actualise this milestone @WahomeHon

The 1968 Building Code was formulated under the now-repealed Local Government Act (Cap 265) while new framework is premised on multi-sectoral approach, signifying a collaborative effort across various government departments and stakeholders to ensure effective implementation.

Construction sector is critical in the job creation among the workers esp in the Affordable Housing which is a key pillar of the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda.The code is expected to drive demand for skilled professionals & personnel across the construction value chain

We will check how the old buildings can conform with the new code because transition takes abit of time to suit the comfort of the home user.Key aspects include understanding building codes,assessing structural integrity, and integrating modern technologies and design elements.

Enforcement of the new Code which includes provisions for safety especially regarding storage & handling of hazardous materials like gas cylinders highlights the importance of adhering to these regulations key in the standardisation of our built environment & construction sector.

The new Building Code promotes economic & environmental sustainability through various provisions including energy efficiency,water conservation,sustainable material use & waste management. It encourages green building practices, resilient designs & the use of renewable energy.
