The Uganda Society of Architects (USA) is set to hold a highly billed construction symposium, during which industry experts will explore various aspects of “The Business of Construction in Uganda.”

Scheduled to take place on September 20, 2024 at Kampala’s Imperial Royale Hotel, the one-day event, will be preceded by a two-day Architectural Clinic where members of the public will get free expert advice on execution of construction projects. The clinic which will held at Oasis Mall from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, will be open on September18 and 19.

According to USA, the symposium will bring together key players and thought leaders from across the construction industry to engage in discussions around critical themes shaping the future of construction in Uganda.

In a rapidly evolving construction landscape, the symposium will focus on four key sub-themes: Project Financing, Compliance, Sustainability, and Innovative Construction Technologies. These topics will be addressed through a series of presentations and panel discussions led by renowned experts in the field.

“Participants will gain valuable insights on how to navigate the complexities of financing, regulatory requirements, and integrating cutting-edge technologies for sustainable construction. The symposium is expected to attract a broad spectrum of professionals, including architects, engineers, valuers, quantity and land surveyors, contractors, lawyers, and representatives from finance institutions, as well as manufacturers and suppliers of construction materials. With such a diverse group of participants, the event will offer a unique platform for networking and collaboration among stakeholders in Uganda’s construction sector, “said Mr. Patrick Komaketch from the Uganda Society of Architects.

During architectural clinic, professional architects will engage with the public, offering free consultations and advice on architectural matters. The clinic is designed to provide an opportunity for members of the public to interact with experts, ask questions, and seek guidance on a wide range of architectural and construction-related concerns.

This initiative forms part of the USA’s efforts to fostering stronger connections between architects and the community. Participation in the Architectural Clinic is free of charge and open to the public. However, attendance for the main symposium at Imperial Royale Hotel will require a registration fee of UGX 250,000.
