Kajiado North, Kaputei
Kaputei Residence
Intervention
The structural leadership team, with Kossy as a senior contributor, built the delivery plan around the design's defining elements from day one. The arched glazing, stone-clad columns, and balcony line each required coordinated structural detailing — light where the design needed to feel light, solid where load demanded it.
Challenge
Private residential clients invest deeply in their concept visuals. The challenge was to protect that design intent — the tall arched window, the stone cladding, the cantilevered balcony — without allowing structural compromises to flatten what made the design worth building.
Result
The completed Kaputei home matches its render with a precision rarely achieved in residential delivery. The proportions held, the materials landed, and the facade reads exactly as designed. For the structural leadership that guided this project, that outcome is the standard. For the industry, it remains exceptional.

Kwa Ndege, Tassis, Nairobi
Tassis Residential Development
Intervention
The on-site installation team executed the full EPS 3D sequence at Tassis — deck preparation, reinforcement layout, panel staging, and active placement across the slab field. The EPS 3D LTD panels, visible with their branded markings, reduce structural dead load compared to a solid concrete slab, while the steel wire mesh faces and shotcrete fill deliver equivalent structural strength. Kossy, as General Manager at Haven Heights Limited, Ruiru, was among the senior leaders overseeing the technical delivery of this system.
Challenge
Conventional RC slab systems demand heavy formwork, dense propping, and long curing cycles that lock a residential site for weeks. The challenge was to demonstrate that EPS 3D delivers a structurally equivalent floor with significantly less material, less scaffolding, and a faster installation sequence.
Result
Tassis proves the EPS 3D case on the ground, not in a brochure. The system reduces slab dead load, cuts scaffolding requirements, and compresses the floor completion cycle. For residential developers managing material costs and build timelines, that is a competitive argument — and this is what it looks like in practice.
Eastleigh, Nairobi
BBS Mall
Intervention
Working within the structural team, Kossy contributed to the coordination of the EPS void-former flat slab system and provided hands-on technical guidance during installation — translating engineering intent into correct field practice alongside the crews doing the work. The after-sales service role meant she was accountable for how the system was understood on the ground, not just specified on paper.
Challenge
A multi-floor commercial slab in Eastleigh must carry significant live loads — retail footfall, goods movement, dynamic crowd loads — while managing construction logistics across a constrained urban site with active streets on all sides. Getting the EPS panel layout and slab detailing wrong at this scale has compounding consequences across every floor plate above.
Result
BBS Mall is a formative project in Kossy's career — the commercial-scale proof that EPS slab technology works under real urban pressure, and the project where she built the technical depth she now leads with. She later took over as General Manager from the same role she once reported to.

05.0/REPRESENTATION
Representation is structural.
Being the only woman at the table or on-site isn't about being an exception. It's about being the standard for how engineering, management, and humans intersect to build the future.
The Reality
Scarcity is a metric, not a limit.
In an industry where women represent less than 15% of the structural workforce, presence becomes a strategic asset.
The Objective
Visible competence is the ultimate authority.
Authority isn't found in titles, but in the structural alignment of the teams we lead and the buildings we deliver.
The Mission
Excellence as the baseline.
Every project is an opportunity to prove that technical mastery and human coordination are the same discipline.
