LAXMANBHAI CONSTRUCTION LTD

Expanding geographically and internally at a rapid rate, Laxmanbhai developed to cater across not only the core construction domain, but also across contracting, sales,

machinery, maintenance and property development; based on four guiding principles of care, entrepreneurship, collaboration and integrity.

Starting with a registered capital of KES 100,000 and just 30 members of staff, by 1972, Laxmanbhai Construction Ltd was enjoying global growth in India, the UK, Seychelles and Mauritius as well as gaining recognition in the construction industry as a company with punctuality, a collaborative approach and high quality standards. The rapid growth continued through the late 1980s and well into the 1990s, despite the worldwide recession and today the Laxmanbhal Group has more than 13 shareholders and is among the top construction companies in the country, setting the standard of quality over three generations with the aim to continue building client’s visions by delivering excellence.

SUPERIOR QUALITYLaxmanbhai Construction’s recognition incorporates not

only the Company’s competency in carrying out state-of-the-art projects, but also a series of significant internal philosophies, in

line with the four aforementioned principles. They quickly became known for their can-do attitude, customer satisfaction, quality and the ability to safely meet schedules.

The ethos set the scene for its service diversification, as well as its geographic broadening as the business sought to fulfil its missions not just in Kenya, but also across the globe. Professionalism and ethics became words all too synonymous with Laxmanbhai, complemented by a strict and ongoing adherence to the very latest consumer trends in the wider industry. Never underestimating the importance of understanding their markets and the construction industry, as well as appreciating the needs of their clients, which reinforces their search for value and certainty, the highly skilful project teams of Laxmanbhai deliver superior knowledge about the latest trends in construction through in-depth reporting and exploration.

Everything they do is critically appraised and combining this client commitment with the inevitable experience that can be refined over six decades in the industry, a winning combination has been formed to make Laxmanbhai a customer of choice in each operating region.

There is a culture in the company focussed on the ensuring the essential integrity of each job and the superior quality that


Dedicated to leaving a lasting and promising impact on the world, this company has engrained its reputation into the East African construction industry. This was the vision of Founder Laxmanbhai Bhimji K. Raghwani who, six decades ago, embarked on the company’s adventure through graft and values that are still strongly evident in the business to this day.


has always been at the heart of Laxmanbhai Construction which has set them apart since day one and they still take pride in delivering unparalleled high quality workmanship and service and is determined to consistently exceed the expectations of not only their clients and the industry in everything they do but also to push the Company’s quality standards higher.

REALISING POTENTIALPerfecting internal principles and philosophies is one thing, but

Laxmanbhai has never had any problem in backing up its visions with tangible evidence and construction prowess.

With a proven track record to deliver end-to-end construction and property solutions across a broad range of sectors - including high rise towers, banks, schools, hotels, retail outlets, apartments, commercial buildings and industrial outlets - the sustainability achieved through completing projects to bespoke requirements has compounded its commitment to excellence and innovation.

Over the years, Laxmanbhai Construction’s most esteemed completed projects comprise an array of iconic builds across the Nairobi City skyline including the contemporary English Point

Marina complex in Mombasa utilising the very latest eco-friendly methods; the 5 star Kempnksi Villa Rose Hotel in Nairobi; the 6 star Hemingways Hotel in Karen; a 100 perecent green United Nations Building in Nairobi; 55 luxurious houses across 43 acres of land to form Kihingo Village in Kitisuru; and two innovative academic institutions in Karen and Mombasa respectively.

The success of each of these is testament to the Laxmanbhai workforce that has long been proud to be affiliated with the organisation; their loyalty repaid by the company through its skills development dedication. Clearly, hiring the right skilled staff and training them for their career development makes good sense for business as it fuels the strength and innovation of the future of the company.

ESSENTIAL INVESTMENTSThe underpinning theme evident throughout Laxmanbhai builds

both past and present, is one of innovation with the progression of the construction industry mirrored by the company’s own ability to adapt its operations over the years.

A fleet of sophisticated plants and modern equipment

complements this philosophy, extending from earthworks, concrete, finishing and aiding machinery.

Their fleet includes specialised concrete pumps, concrete batching plants, earthmoving scraper fleets, trucks, excavators, tower cranes, mobile cranes, slip-form equipment, welding machines, hydraulic breakers, air compressors and generators that allow us to offer tailored and continuous on site service wherever the customer projects may be located across Kenya.

ENHANCING CAPABILITIESBased on both domestic and international market research,

future capital expenditures are set to comprise a new document control system in order to become a paperless office, the development of an aluminium and glass fabrication arm to venture into curtain walling, and a further acquisition of joinery machinery to prepare for more major fit-out jobs.

A consistent willingness to evolve and expand can be witnessed in everything Laxmanbhai strives towards; whether that’s externally and via its extensive, charitable corporate social responsibility efforts, or from an operational standpoint and its continuous search

for better methods of carrying out projects.Resources are becoming increasingly scarce within the natural

environment and the company is participating in collaborative research into eco-designs and coming up with sustainable solutions and leaning heavily on their six decades of experience.

Two key initiatives laid out for immediate future will see Laxmanbhai Construction taking strides to reduce on-site accidents via a comprehensive and complex health and safety effort to achieve zero environmental incidents, in ensuring that each project is executed in a manner than minimises the company’s green impact.

Both are indicative of the company’s adherence to the very latest industrial trends and the ongoing willingness to not just meet these requirements but to surpass them.
