Introduction — transform space, power growth
When a business moves into a new office, retail space, or industrial unit the first 90 days set the tone for productivity, brand perception and safety. At GossTech we specialize in commercial fit-outs and tenant improvement projects across Nairobi and throughout Kenya — delivering reliable electrical design & installation, intelligent lighting, resilient power distribution, structured cabling and compliant safety systems that let your business open on time, operate efficiently, and scale with confidence.
This pillar post explains what we do, the full range of electrical and fit-out services we offer, the areas we serve (with summaries for each), and why property managers, developers and tenants choose GossTech for commercial projects large and small.
What is a commercial fit-out / tenant improvement?
A commercial fit-out (also called TI — tenant improvement) is the process of preparing and customizing a leased or purchased commercial space to meet the operational, technical and aesthetic needs of the tenant. Fit-outs range from light cosmetic changes (paint, flooring, lighting) to heavy MEP works (electrical distribution, data infrastructure, fire alarms, standby power). GossTech provides the full electrical and low-voltage portion of fit-outs, and coordinates with allied contractors (joinery, HVAC, flooring, plumbing) to deliver turnkey results.

A: Yes — we act for landlords, tenants and main contractors. We prepare tenant-fit electrical scopes and coordinate landlord interfaces (incoming supplies, fire systems).
Q: Will you work outside Nairobi?
A: Absolutely. We have teams and project partnerships across Kenya and deliver projects in Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika and more.
Q: What certifications do your electricians have?
