Global consultancies, including those operating in Kenya, integrate modern technology in the planning, design and construction of their projects. In Kenya, one of the resellers and trainers of design software for Autodesk and Bentley is Nairobi-based Centre for Innovation Technology (Citech). Over the past decade that I have been the managing director, I have witnessed increased adoption of modern design software. The fact that most fresh graduates in engineering and architecture are not familiar with modern design software, yet this is what the market demands, explains why many cannot get jobs. This is happening in the building and construction industry, where employers bypass candidates, even graduates, who are not familiar with modern design software.
