Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions — Construction Law in Kenya
What construction law services does Okoth Obera Law Advocates provide?
We draft and negotiate construction contracts (FIDIC, NEC, bespoke), advise on procurement documentation, subcontractor agreements, performance bonds, payment dispute resolution, adjudication, arbitration, and statutory compliance with National Construction Authority (NCA) regulations.
What is FIDIC and why is it important in construction contracts?
FIDIC is the internationally recognised standard form of construction contract widely used on infrastructure and development projects in Kenya and globally. Different FIDIC books apply to different project types (civil works, design-build, EPC). We advise on appropriate contract selection, amendments, and negotiation of FIDIC-based contracts.
How do I recover unpaid amounts from a construction contract?
The Construction Contracts Act (if applicable) and the contract itself typically provide for adjudication as a fast-track method for payment disputes. We pursue payment claims through adjudication, arbitration, or litigation depending on the contract terms and circumstances to achieve swift recovery.
What are the NCA registration requirements for contractors in Kenya?
The National Construction Authority requires all contractors to register in appropriate NCA categories before tendering for or undertaking construction works. We advise on registration requirements, compliance obligations, and the legal implications of contracting without proper NCA registration.
