Turner & Townsend Kenya team has been awarded best Project Management Firm at the 2020 Construction and Real Estate (CoRE) awards for the second year in a row.
Centred around sustainability, innovation and excellence, the CoRE awards bring the construction and real estate industries together to honour, network and educate by promoting best case practices in the sector.
The project management firm of the year award recognises the most outstanding project management firm that inspires, leads and enables the best possible delivery of projects, sustainable practices and future developments.
Their submission to CoRE Nexus demonstrated their consistent excellent service delivery of projects – from inception through to handover and how their business is aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and UN Global Compact ten principles, most notably the industry innovation and infrastructure goal in this particular instance.
Their business has had a significant, positive impact within their communities, environment, workplace and wider market because of their approach to sustainability. The green building design consulting work they have done to assess and direct planning and decision making towards sustainable buildings has been first of its kind in East Africa. Their support is different from the work of the regulatory bodies with a bias towards the adoption of globally benchmarked green building standards.
To date they have supported investors and developers to attain the following ratings:
- Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED®)
- IFC EDGE Certification
- Green Star Africa Certification
Robert Gichohi, Director, Project Management, Kenya commented:
This award is a testament to our continued dedication to delivery of world class project management services locally and our ability to commit to the region over the past 33 years.
The award builds their credibility in the market, however, winning it twice in a row is much more significant because it inspires confidence in their clients and the industry at large about the choice they have made to partner with them on projects.”
In East Africa Turner & Townsend is supporting the construction of a number of airport projects including the Hoima International Airport in Uganda, which will support Uganda’s nascent petroleum industry. They are also involved in a number of hospitals and related staff and student housing projects with the Aga Khan in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
