Kenneth Magembe, our team leader and vision bearer—who currently holds the dual roles of Principal Engineer and Managing Director—has been fascinated with the complexity of the built environment from a tender age.

His fledgling passion for construction was amplified by one particular childhood incident in which he saw a massive water tank the size of a residential building suspended on a single central pillar, over 40 meters high. All others he had seen before, were propped on four pillars. This ignited an inextinguishable curiosity in the young Kenneth to unearth the mathematical and scientific mysteries behind this strange, “one-legged” tower structure.

Kenneth went on to major in Civil Engineering for his Bachelor’s degree, and on his heart was imprinted the desire to fashion unique and iconic structures that would marvel whoever beheld them.

Having practiced and honed his technical acumen with several employers, Kenneth made the intentional and courageous decision to found Armstrong Consulting Engineers. His envisioned a firm that would inject new energy into Uganda’s otherwise conservative and change-resistant engineering industry, and give a fresh lease of life to all forms, modes and shapes of infrastructure—however unconventional.

Kenneth believed then, as the entire Armstrong team believes today; that if it can be dreamed—then it can be built.

This is our story—and we invite you to be a part of it!
