We build it right, and on time.
Karrtel Construction Company delivers roads and water works across Kenya and East Africa. From access roads and drainage to pipelines, boreholes and water storage, we build infrastructure that lasts. Every project starts with a site visit and is carried through by an engineer on site, with clear timelines and regular updates, until the final handover and inspection.
What we build
Roads and water infrastructure are our core work. We handle planning, construction and handover, so you deal with one team from the first site visit to the final inspection.
Road construction
We build and upgrade access roads for counties, estates, farms, schools and private owners. Our work covers bush clearing, earthworks, grading and compaction, murram and gravel surfacing, and tarmac roads.
Each road is set out and levelled with proper camber and side drains so it sheds water and lasts through the rainy season.
Water supply and pipelines
We lay water mains and distribution lines for towns, institutions and community water projects. We handle trench excavation, pipe laying and jointing, valve chambers, and pressure testing before commissioning.
We also build tank stands and connect storage tanks to the network, so water reaches the people who need it.
Drainage and culverts
Poor drainage is what destroys roads and floods compounds. We construct storm-water drains, lined channels, box and pipe culverts, headwalls and outfalls to carry water away safely.
Where slopes are at risk, we add erosion protection such as stone pitching, gabions and grassing.
Boreholes and water storage
We take on borehole works from site selection support through to equipping, including pump installation, power connection, and the pipework that links the borehole to your storage.
We also build water pans and install tanks of the right size for your household, farm, school or business.
Project management
If you already have designs and a budget, we can run the project for you: preparing programmes and bills of quantities, sourcing materials and subcontractors, supervising the site, and tracking costs against the budget.
You receive regular progress reports with photos, so you always know where the money and the time are going.
Building works
We construct residential and commercial buildings, extensions and renovations, from foundations and structure through to roofing, plastering, finishes and external works.
Work is supervised against the approved drawings, and we hand over with an inspection and a snag list, so nothing is left unfinished.
Why Karrtel
Choosing a contractor is a big decision. Here is what you can count on when you build with us.
Licensed and registered
We are registered with the National Construction Authority in Category 5 for water works, road works and building works, and we hold a Water Licence for water works.
Roads and water under one roof
Roads, drainage, pipelines, boreholes and storage are our core work, so one team can plan and build the whole scheme instead of you coordinating several contractors.
Engineers on every site
An engineer supervises each project and checks the work against the drawings and specifications at every stage.
A decade of experience
Established in 2016, we bring ten years of hands-on experience in delivering roads and water works.
