Delivering EXCELLENCE Across Three Generations

Laxmanbhai Construction Ltd has grown rapidly from humble beginnings in 1953 to be one of Kenya’s premier construction specialists, operating across the full sector domain, on an international scale Writer: Matthew Staff Project Manager: Stuart Parker

or more than 60 years, Laxmanbhai Construction Ltd has built and engrained its reputation into the East African construction industry, diversifying its offering and its customer demographic to fulfil its initial dream of “creating an industryleading firm dedicated to making the world a better place”.

This was the vision of Founder, Laxmanbhai Bhimji K. Raghwani who, six decades ago, embarked on the Company’s adventure through grit and values that are still strongly evident in the business to this day.

Expanding geographically and internally, at a rapid rate, Laxmanbhai developed to cater across not only the core construction domain, but also across contracting, sales, machinery maintenance and property development; based on four guiding principles of care, entrepreneurship, collaboration and integrity.

“Mr Laxmanbhai started from a registered capital of KES100,000 and 30 members of staff in 1953,” says Laxmanbhai Construction’s Managing Director (MD), Dhanji Raghwani. “By 1972, Laxmanbhai Construction Ltd was expanding very rapidly in India, UK, Seychelles and Mauritius as well as gaining a well-earned recognition in the construction industry, as a customer with punctuality, a collaborative approach and high quality standards.

“The rapid growth continued through the late 1980s and well into the 1990s despite the worldwide recession and, today, the Laxmanbhai Group has more than 13 shareholders and is among the top construction companies in the country; setting the standard of quality over three generations with the aim to continue building clients’ visions by delivering excellence.”

Superior quality

Laxmanbhai Construction’s recognition incorporates not only the Company’s competency in carrying out state-ofthe-art projects, but also a series of significant internal philosophies, in line with the four aforementioned principles.

Raghwani continues: “Laxmanbhai Construction Ltd quickly became known for its can-do attitude, customer satisfaction, quality, and the ability to safely meet schedules.

“Fuelled by this reputation and an innate passion for building, the Laxmanbhai Group continued to grow and expand its reach and capabilities over six decades to become the industry leader it is today.”

This ethos set the scene for its service diversification, as well as its geographic broadening as the business sought to fulfil its missions not just in Kenya but across the globe.

L T D

Professionalism and ethics became words all too synonymous with Laxmanbhai, complemented by a strict and ongoing adherence to the very latest consumer trends in the wider industry.

“Understanding our markets and the construction industry, as well as appreciating the needs of our clients, reinforces our search for value and certainty,” the MD adds. “Our highly skilful project teams can deliver superior knowledge about the latest trends in construction through indepth reporting and exploration.

“We critically appraise the impact of numerous economic and operational scenarios in the global and local construction market trends, and deliver this to clients and consultants to assist them in controlling building costs and maximising value for their money on projects.”

Combining this client commitment

pex Steel began its operations as General Hardware and Construction material Trading and Supply House to now become the leading manufacturer of Construction and Structural Steel; Deformed Bars; Sections and Hollow Tubes to service and cater to the needs of a growing industry in East and Central Africa.

The new generation steel - namely ‘Deformed Bars’; also known as ‘Ribbed Bars’ are now being used all over the world. In Kenya; Apex Steel was the Industry leader and in 2007 pioneered the manufacture of deformed bars, manufacturing them locally but to international standards. The KEBS requirement in Kenya is for the Steel to have a tensile strength of Grade 460. Apex Steel manufactures Grade 500+ Construction and Structural Steel (BS:4449). It has several ‘firsts’ to its credit and was the first to introduce deformed bars, the first to be awarded a KEBS approval for conformity and then achieve a ‘Diamond Mark of Quality’ for compliance.

As a major supplier of steel to the construction industry, Apex Steel has been involved in many major Kenyan projects. Amongst the iconic structures; the Thika Road Superhighway stands tall on Apex Steel’s construction steel bars. The Hotel Villa Rosa’s concrete is held together by the deformed bars manufactured by Apex Steel. And you swim with confidence at the Hotel Sankara because it’s ‘APEX TMX’ the high quality steel from Apex Steel is the assurance that the building is secure.

Apex Steel isn’t just about ‘Sustainable Solutions’ but ‘Sustainable Construction too. Apex Steel is the first Steel manufacturer in East and Central Africa to be certified for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

Developers seeking to construct Buildings and Projects with ‘Green Steel’ can now do so as this is available locally with Apex Steel being the sole manufacturer to have a LEED certification and produce ‘Green Steel’ for supply on the Continent.

AT APEX STEEL, ‘PRESERVING STEEL’ IS CAST IN STEEL. Apex Steel awarded LEED certificate.

We were recently awarded The Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certificate.

Essential investments

C O N S T R U C T I O N

The underpinning theme evident throughout Laxmanbhai builds, both past and present, is one of innovation, with the progression of the construction industry mirrored by the Company’s own ability to adapt its operations over the years.

A fleet of sophisticated plants and modern equipment complements this philosophy, extending from earthworks, concrete, finishing and aiding machinery.

Raghwani emphasises: “To serve our clients effectively and to finish our projects on time, maintaining and investing in new and modern equipment is essential.

“Our fleet includes specialised concrete pumps, concrete batching plants, earthmoving scraper fleets, trucks, excavators, tower cranes, mobile cranes, slip-form equipment, welding machines, hydraulic breakers, air compressors and generators that allow us to offer tailored and continuous on-site service, wherever our customers’ projects may be located across Kenya.”
