Building & Civil Engineering
Building and Civil Engineering at DTTI — construction technology, site practice and civil engineering training for Kenya's builders.
Building & Civil Engineering Department
The Building & Civil Engineering Department trains the site professionals who build Kenya's homes, schools, roads and infrastructure. With strong links to the construction industry, the department emphasises hands-on skills, safety and quality workmanship.
Training Areas
- Construction technology — setting out, foundations, walls, roofs and finishes.
- Construction drawing and quantity take-off basics.
- Site safety, tools and plant operation awareness.
- Materials testing and quality control practices.
- Water and sanitation works for communities.
The department works hand in hand with the Architecture & Building Department, whose learners share workshops and projects, including the Diploma in Civil Engineering — CDACC/TVET Level 6. Masonry, plumbing and related trades are offered at artisan level within the same building family.
Graduates find work with contractors, county works departments and water projects, or grow their own building enterprises. Check the course catalogue for open programmes and apply online, or visit any branch.
