Plan your time before you reach the floor

Big 5 Construct Kenya runs from 21 to 23 October 2026 at Sarit Expo Centre in Nairobi, bringing together suppliers across construction equipment, concrete and cement, building materials, digital construction, power tools, surface finishes, and sustainability. The show spans enough floor space and exhibitor categories that walking every stand without a plan typically means missing the conversations most relevant to active procurement decisions.

The five companies in this Shared Spotlight, LIEBHERR India Pvt.Ltd., MAPEI, Stanley Black & Decker exhibiting the DEWALT brand, Framecad, and CERAMICA CLEOPATRA GROUP, together address a practical cross-section of buyer jobs: heavy machinery sourcing, surface preparation and installation products, cordless tool fleet decisions, structural framing alternatives, and tile and sanitaryware specification. Visiting all five in a single morning block is achievable and covers a range of project phases from structure to finish.

Why these exhibitors

A route built around real buyer jobs, not category breadth

These five exhibitors were not selected to represent every category at Big 5 Construct Kenya. They were grouped because their combined coverage maps to a recognizable set of decisions a contractor or developer in East Africa is likely to be working through at once: what heavy equipment to source and from whom, how to specify and procure tile installation and waterproofing systems, which power tool platform to standardize a site crew on, whether cold-formed steel framing is viable for a residential or light commercial project, and where to source tiles and sanitaryware from a single manufacturer. A buyer who needs answers to two or more of those questions will find this a practical first-morning route.

How to use this Shared Spotlight

Read each exhibitor card before you arrive Each card below includes a tagline and a clear statement of which buyer profile should prioritize that stand. Review them the evening before so you arrive knowing which stops are essential for your specific procurement brief.
Mark your floor map on arrival Collect a printed floor plan at the Sarit Expo Centre entrance and mark the five booth locations before you start walking. Because Big 5 Construct Kenya does not publish hall assignments in advance for all exhibitors, confirm exact booth numbers at the show directory near the main entrance.
Follow the suggested route order Use the route section below to sequence your visits in a way that reduces unnecessary backtracking. Plan to spend 15 to 25 minutes at each stand depending on how closely the exhibitor matches your active project needs.
Collect contact details and product literature at each stop Request a local or regional contact for East Africa at each stand rather than a global head-office card. Follow-up timelines and stock availability often differ significantly between markets.

Floor-planning tip Block the first two hours of Day 1, from show open until approximately 11:00 EAT, for these five stands, as foot traffic is lighter and stand staff are more available for detailed product and pricing conversations before the midday rush.

TL;DR

5 stops worth planning

Suggested floor route

Start with heavy equipment, finish with surface finishes

Beginning at LIEBHERR and moving through MAPEI, DEWALT, Framecad, and CERAMICA CLEOPATRA GROUP follows a logical project-phase sequence from structure and earthworks through installation systems to finish products, which also tends to cluster these exhibitor types in adjacent areas of a construction trade show floor.

Read company profilePrioritize this stand if you are a developer or contractor evaluating steel framing alternatives to masonry for multi-unit residential or light commercial projects in East Africa.Read more

About

Framecad develops and supplies cold-formed steel framing technology, combining roll-forming machinery with proprietary design and detailing software that takes a building from structural model to fabricated frame components. The system is used across residential, commercial, and modular construction projects.

The integrated software-to-machine workflow is a point of difference for contractors and developers who need to reduce material waste and compress construction timelines. Cold-formed steel framing is increasingly specified in markets where speed of assembly, structural performance under seismic or wind loads, and long-term durability over timber are priorities.
