The firm
Shomax Consulting Engineers Limited is a Nairobi civil and structural consulting firm founded in 1993 by Eng. Maxwell Shoni. Before establishing the practice, Eng. Shoni served as Provincial Structural Engineer for Coast Province and later as Chief Structural Engineer at Kenya's Ministry of Public Works headquarters in Nairobi.
The firm has signed engineering commissions for the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Pensions Fund, the Ministry of Energy, the Government of Rwanda, the Government of South Sudan, Vihiga County, Kakamega County, and Imarika Sacco. Confirmed reference values include KSH 8 billion in Kenyan-currency commissions and a further USD 66 million cross-border.
The founder's public-works background remains central to the firm. Shomax is organised around clear consultant responsibility: drawings must be buildable, supervision must be recorded, and the consultant's file must make sense to the client, contractor, auditor, and public body that may review it later.
Shomax's work is strongest where the client needs senior civil and structural judgement, a clear consultant-of-record, and documentation suitable for public procurement, institutional governance, or lender review. The firm's services run from project conception and feasibility through design, construction supervision, contract administration, and environmental compliance.
The landmark commissions are CBK Pension Towers (KSH 3.5 B), Ministry of Energy Headquarters (KSH 2.4 B), Gikondo Industrial Park relocation to Kigali Special Economic Zone (USD 36 M), and Vihiga Municipality infrastructure programme (KSH 1 B).
