The Construction Industry is making its mark within Instagram and different professionals are exploring the platform to create content for the general public. Websites are still great to have but content on Instagram is impactful in drawing clients in or at the very least showcasing your work portfolio.
Let’s have a look at a few accounts that are a must-follow- as an enthusiast or a professional within the Kenyan Construction Industry
MOBB STUDIO
NICHÉ: Architectural Photography
Instagram is a platform borne of the appreciation of high quality images and that is one thing that works greatly with Mobb Studio. Focusing on architectural photography, designers and builders in Kenya stand to benefit from high quality documentation for their websites. Featuring residential and commercial spaces, they are definitely one to follow.

NICHÉ: Construction Company (Design + Build)
Very few Kenyan Contractors are present on Instagram- but Fine Urban is not shy in taking advantage of this and other online platforms to showcase its upscale style. With Kenyan Contractors having a general bad reputation it is refreshing to see Cleophas Nyagaka, an Interior Designer lead a construction company to pure excellence.
