About Kande Engineering
A Zambian engineering firm built on precision and trust.
For over a decade, Kande Engineering Limited has partnered with homeowners, businesses and public institutions to plan, build and maintain the structures and infrastructure Zambia runs on, combining local expertise with disciplined, international-standard project management.
Transforming Innovations across Zambia's built environment.
We're a multidisciplinary engineering and construction firm based in Lusaka, delivering building, civil, electrical and mechanical works for clients who expect it done right the first time.
Our Story
From site foreman to full-scope contractor.
Kande Engineering Limited was founded to close a gap we saw across Zambia's construction industry: too many projects were split across contractors who didn't talk to each other, causing delays, budget overruns and inconsistent quality. We built KEL as a single team spanning building construction, civil engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical works, so one accountable partner sees your project through, from first drawing to final handover.
Today we work with homeowners, property developers, commercial operators, industrial clients and public-sector partners across Lusaka and beyond, on projects ranging from residential renovations to national transmission infrastructure.
Our Mission
To deliver safe, well-engineered buildings and infrastructure that stand the test of time, on schedule and on budget, for every client we serve.
Our Vision
To be Zambia's most trusted multidisciplinary engineering partner, known for legacies built, not just structures completed.
Our Values
Safety first, quality without compromise, transparent communication, and cost-effective solutions that respect your budget and timeline.
What Makes Us Different
One team, every discipline, full accountability.
Single Point of Accountability
Building, civil, electrical and mechanical teams under one roof means no finger-pointing between contractors.
Engineering-Led Planning
Every project starts with proper design, surveying and planning, not guesswork.
Safety Record
Strict site protocols and a track record of zero lost-time incidents across our project portfolio.
Transparent Costing
Itemised, plain-language quotes with no hidden variations sprung on you mid-project.
