What began in 1997 as a single joinery bench in Nairobi is today a turnkey fit-out and refurbishment house trusted across four East African countries — still family-run, still obsessed with the joint and the finish.
Samani Construction opened in 1997 as a small joinery workshop. As clients asked for more — partitions, ceilings, complete rooms — we grew into a turnkey approach, folding fit-outs and construction works around the craft we started with.
We invested early in automated machinery so quality would be uniform, built a dedicated procurement office to keep projects on schedule, and kept the standards moving with the times. The result is a firm that can finish a five-star hotel entrance and a private residence with the same exacting hand — and has, from Nairobi to Nanyuki, Mombasa to Dar es Salaam.
In-house joinery on automated machinery. We make it ourselves, so we can stand behind it.
A family name on every project means honest quotes, clean sites and promises kept.
Around 90% of our team is locally hired, trained and promoted — skills that stay and grow.
Samani is family-run — the principals are hands-on, and the people you meet are the people who deliver.
Leads the firm's direction and standards, carrying forward the craftsmanship-first ethos Samani was built on.
Runs delivery on the ground — scope, programme and quality — from first site visit to final handover.
