Interview with Mercy Mugure, CEO of EngPlan Consulting: From Structural Mastery to Regional Leadership

EngPlan Consulting Engineers, established in 2006, specializes in structural and civil engineering, offering services across diverse sectors, including hotels, hospitals, commercial buildings, and high-end residential projects. Over the years, the firm has expanded its expertise to include water and wastewater engineering, master planning, and highway engineering, solidifying its reputation for design optimization and delivering innovative, adaptive solutions using advanced tools. EngPlan’s competitive edge lies in its extensive experience with Kenya’s private sector, responsiveness to client needs, and collaboration with architects.

The Kenya civil engineering sector has experienced notable shifts since 2006. While earlier years saw growth in high-end residential and corporate developments, recent trends indicate a rise in hospitality projects, logistics and warehousing, and a heightened focus on affordable housing driven by private and government sectors. Challenges remain, including reduced government development and a lull in commercial construction, but opportunities in water and sanitation infrastructure are emerging.

EngPlan is deeply committed to engineering sustainability through material optimization, minimizing waste, and selective use of cement with lower embodied carbon. Leveraging Kenya’s favorable climate, the company prioritizes sustainable practices in structural and civil engineering by sourcing materials locally and reducing environmental impacts in larger infrastructure projects. This intentional approach aligns with EngPlan’s mission to build a more sustainable future.
