Among the big names in the building industry is Skylark Construction Limited. Established in 1990 and incorporated nine years later, Skylark is one of the most experienced construction companies operating from Kisumu City.

Over the last 23 years, the company has completed many projects in various industries including Tea, Sugar, Power Generation, Banking, Services, NGOs and Churches. The magnitude of projects handled by Skylark Construction today stands in stark contrast to the little jobs the founder Mr. Vinod Patel started with. In a revealing interview with the Business Daily, Vinod narrates his early struggles and determination against odds to build the huge enterprise that is Skylark Construction. He discloses that the violence following the disputed 2007 elections nearly brought down the business but the support of his banks and suppliers saw the company bounce back.
