Design & build fit-outs for global standards, delivered locally.
When Dräger, a global leader in medical and safety technology, set up its East African office, the brief was familiar: transform a shell & core space into a fully operational workplace that meets global standards and local code. They needed one accountable partner from first concept to day-one readiness.

The problem: fragmented execution
Most international teams juggle multiple vendors: architects, contractors, data specialists, furniture suppliers. Each operates independently. Delays compound, quality drifts, and no single party is accountable. You lose operational capacity managing a construction project instead of your mission.
The solution: design & build delivery
Henson Interiors operates on a design & build model: one partner, complete accountability from brief to handover.
What this means in practice
- Integrated execution. Designers and builders work as one team. Electrical, data, partitions, and mechanical systems are coordinated from the start, not retrofitted later.
- Assured quality. A single line of responsibility from drawings to installation ensures what is built matches what was approved.
- Local expertise, global standards. We work to Kenyan regulations and supply realities while meeting the standards you uphold in Berlin, Geneva, or New York.
Shell & core to ready-for-occupancy
We deliver the full fit-out scope, including:
- Space planning & design — brand-aligned layouts that meet local and international standards
- Core infrastructure — electrical, data cabling, HVAC, and mechanical systems
- Interior build-out — partitions, ceilings, lighting, flooring, and finishes
- Furniture & equipment — workstations, meeting rooms, storage systems
- Final details — signage, window treatments, quality control, and handover documentation

Why international organizations trust us
- We deliver to specification. When you approve materials, finishes, and equipment, that’s what gets installed—not substitutions or compromises that erode quality.
- We manage risk. From regulatory approvals to reliable sourcing, we align specifications with what the market can deliver, and we agree equivalents before orders are placed.
- We deliver operational spaces that are ready to use on move-in — desks set, rooms functional, and no last-minute fixes.
