The Big 5 Construct Kenya is the most important building and construction event in Kenya. Launched in 2017, the event is held under the patronage of the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works and its Cabinet Secretary, Hon. James Wainaina Macharia.

For three consecutive days at the Sarit Expo Centre in Westlands, Nairobi, we connect suppliers with quality buyers promoting innovation, sharing cutting edge knowledge, and accelerating business.

A platform where stakeholders come together to drive forward Kenya government’s objectives, the event offers a wide scope of product showcases across five dedicated product sectors and three newly introduced co-located events. More than just an exhibition, it also offers an extensive CPD-certified educational program, which supports the development of construction professionals while boosting the industry’s recovery efforts in a safe and convenient environment.

The Big 5 Construct Kenya is the high quality, safe, face-to-face event bringing The Big 5 brand’s 40+ years’ experience and success to Kenya’s bustling construction and infrastructure projects market, which is expected to reach a total value of USD 6.9 billion by 2027.
