What services does Arcand Engineering Solutions offer?
We provide civil works, architectural design, electrical installations, and water & irrigation engineering. From concept and design through to construction and handover, we manage the full project lifecycle.
What areas do you serve?
We operate throughout Uganda, with a primary base in Kampala. We've completed projects in Kampala, Entebbe, Masaka, Jinja, and surrounding districts.
How do I get a quote for my project?
Reach out via our contact form or call us directly. We'll schedule a site visit or virtual consultation to understand your scope, then provide a detailed written estimate, no obligation.
What is the typical project timeline?
Timelines vary by scope. A residential design may take 2-4 weeks, while a full build can span 3-12 months depending on complexity.
Do you handle permits and regulatory approvals?
Yes. We guide clients through Uganda's building permit process, including local council approvals, NEMA assessments, and engineering sign-offs required by KCCA and other municipal bodies.
Do you handle different project types?
Yes, we handle residential, commercial, institutional, agricultural, and industrial projects.
How does payment work?
We typically structure payments in stages tied to project milestones. This ensures transparency and aligns payment with progress.
Can we supply our own materials?
We can source all required materials or work with your preferred suppliers. We provide a full bill of quantities (BOQ) for transparency.
Do you offer warranties?
We stand behind our work. Structural and installation warranties are provided based on the scope of work and are clearly outlined in our contracts.
Do all projects need permits?
Most construction projects in Uganda require some form of approval. We assess your project during the consultation and advise on exactly which permits and approvals are needed.
