Introduction — Powering your new build from concept to commission
Starting a new build — whether a family home in Karen, a mid-rise block in Westlands, or a factory in Thika — is exciting and stressful in equal measure. Electrical systems are one of the foundations that determine comfort, safety, running costs and future flexibility. At GossTech we specialise in new-build electrical design and installation across Nairobi and major towns in Kenya. We translate architects’ drawings and your lifestyle needs into robust, energy-efficient, compliant electrical systems that stand the test of time.
This pillar post explains what we do, how we work, the services we provide, the areas we serve (with a full list of Nairobi estates), and why developers, builders and homeowner-clients choose GossTech for new builds.

Our design & installation process — step by step
- Initial consultation
Site visit, review architectural plans, determine client needs, estimate load and specialist requirements (e.g., EV charging, HVAC, commercial kitchen). - Preliminary design & budget
Produce concept drawings and an estimated budget. Advise on energy efficiency, power supply options and phasing. - Detailed design & approvals
Prepare full electrical drawings and schedules suitable for Nairobi City Council / county approvals and Kenya Power submission where applicable. - Procurement & logistics
We source compliant materials — cables, switchgear, DBs, MCBs, RCBOs, conduit, light fittings — and arrange delivery to site. We use branded/quality components and document warranty information. - Installation
Certified electricians and supervisors carry out works to standards, with daily progress reports and coordination with civil trade-partners. - Testing & commissioning
Full electrical testing (insulation, polarity, earth resistance, functional tests), certification, and handover pack with as-installed drawings. - Aftercare
Optional maintenance plans, remote help, and emergency call-out services.
Safety, compliance & standards
GossTech prioritises safety and compliance. For new builds we apply:

- Selective coordination of protective devices to protect users and equipment.
- Compliance with Kenya Power connection requirements and local county building codes.
- Proper segregation of power and data cabling to avoid interference.
- Use of certified switchgear and switching devices with traceable documentation.
We provide full test certificates and as-built drawings at handover so you, your architect and your local authority have the records you need.
