Building in Uganda, made clear.

Practical answers to the questions clients ask before starting a construction or civil engineering project.

Do I need approval before starting construction in Uganda?

Yes. Most projects require approval from the relevant local authority, supported by approved drawings, site information and other documents required for the project. We help coordinate the technical team and submission process before work begins.

What is a BOQ and why is it important?

A bill of quantities breaks the design into measurable work items and materials. It gives you a clearer budget, makes quotations easier to compare and helps control variations during construction.

How much does it cost to build in Uganda?

There is no single rate for every project. The cost depends on the location, design, ground conditions, materials, finishes, services and current market prices. We prepare a project-specific estimate after reviewing your brief and drawings.

How long will my construction project take?

Programme length depends on the scope, approvals, site conditions, procurement and availability of labour and materials. We provide a realistic schedule and keep you informed about progress and risks throughout the work.

How do you manage Uganda's rainy seasons?

We plan around weather-sensitive activities, protect excavations and stored materials, and sequence the work to keep the site productive. A practical programme also includes time for weather and procurement risks.

Can MCDON manage design, construction and handover?

Yes. Our design-build and construction management services can cover coordination, budgeting, procurement, site supervision, quality checks, completion documents and handover from one accountable team.
