About construction companies in East Africa

The East African construction boom is real and ongoing. Kigali's skyline has transformed in a decade. Nairobi's expressway, Mombasa's port expansion, Dar es Salaam's bus rapid transit, Kampala's flyovers, and the Standard Gauge Railway have all created sustained demand for contractors, civil engineers, plumbers, electricians, roofers, and interior finishers, and for the suppliers behind them in cement, steel, glass, and finishing materials.

EABD lists residential and commercial builders, civil-engineering firms, specialised tradespeople, equipment hire companies, project managers, and architects working across the region. Verified profiles include registration numbers (where applicable in each country), past projects with client approval, and the kind of detail a procurement team actually needs to make a shortlist, such as company size, location, areas served and ratings from previous clients.

About DR Congo

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of Africa's largest markets: more than 100 million people, the copper and cobalt belt of Haut-Katanga and Lualaba, the port of Matadi, and Kinshasa, a city of more than 17 million with a services economy to match. In the east, Goma, Bukavu and Bunia trade daily with Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and Tanzania, and the country joined the East African Community in 2023.

EABD lists Congolese businesses in Kinshasa and across all 26 provinces, including Lubumbashi, Kolwezi, Goma, Bukavu, Kisangani, Mbuji-Mayi, Kananga and beyond. Browse by province, by town or by industry. Where a business is verified, EABD has confirmed its RCCM registration and contact details, which matters in a market where much of business still runs through personal introductions.
