I participated in the renovation and upgrading works of Mpsha Hospital, a Ministry of Health project executed under Madhir Limited. The project involved the refurbishment of existing hospital wards, outpatient areas, staff facilities, and service installations to meet modern healthcare standards. Key Responsibilities and Contributions: Assisted in the preparation and adjustment of Bills of Quantities for renovation and alteration works. Carried out site measurements and valuation of variations resulting from design adjustments and unforeseen site conditions. Supported in the verification of materials and workmanship, ensuring compliance with Ministry of Health specifications and Kenyan Standard Codes of Practice. Collaborated closely with site engineers, architects, and the main contractor to interpret drawings and specifications accurately within a renovation context. Monitored progress and cost control, preparing interim payment certificates and ensuring proper documentation of work done. Ensured that safety and hygiene protocols were observed, given the operational nature of the healthcare environment during renovation. This project strengthened my experience in renovation works, cost adjustments, and on-site coordination for sensitive institutional facilities, emphasizing adaptability, precision, and effective teamwork.
