MEP consultant support for Kenya projects
Get MEP calculations, drawings and BOQ checks for your Kenyan project, working alongside the registered engineer and project team who carry local responsibility.
Secured Engineers Pvt. Ltd. supports architects, consulting engineers, contractors and developers with scoped MEP design and document review, delivered remotely from India.
Start with one paid package. Agree the outputs, fee, programme and revisions before work begins.
Remote support with clear responsibilities. Local signing, authority submissions, site verification and supervision must be assigned to the appropriately authorised project team. We confirm the permitted scope and design criteria before accepting an appointment. In East Africa we work only as a remote MEP design consultant. We do not take supply, installation, site execution or contracting work.
Who does what on a Kenyan project
A remote MEP partner works best when these responsibilities are named at the start. We set them out in the appointment, and your local team confirms the current requirements for the site.
National Construction Authority (NCA)
Handles project registration. The project team confirms the consultants, drawings and approvals that the application needs.
County government and NEMA
Handle development permission and environmental approval. Your team manages these routes; we supply agreed design inputs where the appointment includes them.
Utility connection
Supply capacity, metering and connection requirements are confirmed with Kenya Power and recorded as design inputs.
General orientation only, not legal or regulatory advice. Requirements change and vary by site, so confirm them with your local team.

Three ways to work with us
Independent drawing & BOQ review
For developers, architects and PMCs preparing to tender MEP works.
What you provide
Current drawings, BOQ, specifications and the contractor scope split.
Outputs to agree
A referenced issue register, drawing–BOQ discrepancies, scope gaps and questions for your team to close before bids are compared.
Pricing, remeasurement and redesign are agreed separately.
MEP design package
For architects and consulting engineers who need MEP capacity on a defined scope.
What you provide
Brief, architecture, design criteria, utility information and required issue stage.
Outputs to agree
The agreed calculations, layouts, schedules and BOQ, with assumptions and open inputs recorded for your engineer's checking.
Applicable standards and the registered engineer's role are agreed before work starts.
Coordination during construction
For project teams resolving queries and revisions.
What you provide
Coordinated backgrounds, submittals, RFIs, comments and revision history.
Outputs to agree
Agreed technical responses, coordination markups and a tracked query register.
Site inspection and supervision remain with your local team.
Design points we raise early on Kenyan work
Altitude changes the numbers
Nairobi sits at about 1,800 m and Mombasa at sea level. Air density affects generator, fan and cooling equipment performance, so the site altitude is stated in the design basis and in equipment selection data.
Natural ventilation versus cooling
Nairobi's mild climate can allow lighter HVAC strategies in some buildings, while coastal Mombasa's heat and humidity usually call for a different design. We avoid carrying one approach across both.
Power resilience
The cost of outages is a design question for factories, cold stores and hospitals. Essential loads, generator or solar backup and changeover should be agreed with the owner before the electrical design is fixed.
What a review can contain
Each finding should lead to a decision
A useful review ties an observation to its source document and the action needed from the project team.
Illustrative review format. These are fictional examples, not findings from a client project or a certification of design compliance.
| Document reference | Observation | Action to resolve |
|---|---|---|
| Generator schedule E-05 / site data | The rating is stated at standard conditions, but derating for the Nairobi site altitude is not shown. | Confirm the site-rated output with the supplier data. |
| Electrical SLD E-01 / BOQ §3 | The transfer switch on the schematic has no matching BOQ item. | Confirm whether it belongs in the generator or panel package. |
| Plumbing P-03 / architecture A-07 | The tank location shown on the plumbing drawing differs from the roof plan. | Coordinate the location and confirm the structural allowance. |
Relevant work on record Chandigarh, India · Consultancy Company profile · MEP design reference
Read the scope behind the reference
These are existing published project references, with their recorded scope and limitations. They are not presented as appointments in Kenya or as evidence of local authority approval.
Sector 43 drawing and BOQ revisions
Our published project record includes correspondence recording revised fire-fighting drawings and BOQ submitted for review for the Sector 43 parking project.
The submission records revision activity; it does not establish authority approval or completed installation.
Read the consultancy reference →NXP MEP design
Our company profile identifies a bespoke MEP design role for NXP. The published case sets out the recorded role and considerations for a similar design appointment.
The project location remains unreconciled. The profile reference does not establish experience in Kenya, a certified performance result or an approval outcome.

Begin with a manageable paid pilot
One system, one discipline or one drawing set gives both teams a defined first assignment. Enquiries can concern projects in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret and other Kenyan counties.

- Confirm fit and confidentiality
Share a brief and document list. Agree any NDA before confidential files are exchanged.
- Agree the appointment
Set the design basis, inputs, outputs, fee currency, payment milestones, deadline and revision allowance.
- Review the first issue
Receive the agreed package, assumptions and open queries. Consolidate comments through the nominated project contact.
- Close comments and decide the next scope
Track responses and revisions against the appointment. Agree any additional work separately.
India is 2.5 hours ahead of Kenya, which leaves most of the Nairobi working day open for calls and comment reviews.
Before you appoint a remote MEP partner
Do you supply equipment or carry out installation?
No. In East Africa we work only as a remote MEP design consultant. We do not take supply, installation, site execution or contracting work. If you need a contractor, we can review their drawings, BOQ or proposal for you.
Are you a Kenyan-registered consulting engineering firm?
This page does not present Secured Engineers as one. Our offices are in Ludhiana and Noida, India, and we offer remote design and document support. Each appointment must identify the Kenyan-registered engineer or firm responsible for local checking, signing and submissions.
Can a developer in Kenya appoint you directly?
Yes, for a defined scope such as an independent BOQ or document review, provided the responsibilities are clear. If the work needs local engineering sign-off, your registered consulting engineer takes that role and we agree how our outputs reach them.
Which codes do you design to for Kenya?
We confirm the design basis for each appointment with the client and the responsible local engineer, including the building code and electrical, fire and plumbing standards that apply to the project. We check our capability against that basis before accepting the scope.
Can we start with one package?
Yes. Enquire about one discipline, one drawing set or one review package as a paid pilot. We agree the inputs, deliverables, fee, programme and included revisions first. Any wider appointment follows a separate scope agreement.
How are fees quoted?
We review the discipline scope, drawing quality, design stage, required outputs and deadline before quoting. The proposal states the fee currency, payment milestones and revision allowance. A consultancy fee is separate from construction cost, and no blanket per-square-metre rate is assumed.
