One of Kenya’s largest and best-known architectural powerhouses, Symbion, has landed a deal involving the construction of 5,000 housing units in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Symbion will execute the work as part of a consortium to realize the massive social housing development project.

According to Symbion, the consortium intends to use the latest construction technology to minimize project costs, time and materials. “We look forward to delivering a great development that will serve as a steppingstone expanding our services to the Francophone countries,” says the group.

It further notes that with DRC’s recent admission to the East African Community, the resource rich country created an opening, encouraging increased collaboration and integration of African states, as well as the inclusion of citizens, so as to further the continent’s growth and economic development.

Symbion has offered services in several other countries in Africa.
