Why Novum
Building Kenya since 2021
Certification by KEBS and Other Agencies
We have certifications from the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and other reputable agencies; signifying our commitment to quality and precision.
Here’s why this matters:
Guaranteed Quality Standards: Our KEBS certification ensures that every batch of ready-mix concrete meets the rigorous standards required for safety, durability, and performance in the Kenyan construction industry.
Precision in Batching: Our batching plant calibrations, certified by Avioteq Precision – a KENAS-accredited laboratory – guarantee consistent mixes. This precision eliminates guesswork, ensuring you receive concrete with accurate strength and composition for your specific needs.
Compliance and Trust: These accreditations demonstrate our adherence to both national and international benchmarks, offering peace of mind to our clients that they are working with a certified, reliable partner.
For our customers and the construction industry, this means enhanced safety, reduced risk of material failures, and long-lasting structures; delivering value that goes beyond just concrete.

With Novum’s state-of-the-art production line, you benefit from reliable delivery, unmatched quality, and peace of mind that your projects will stay on track.
Lab Testing and Quality Assurance
Our commitment to quality is backed by robust Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), comprehensive Quality Policies, and a meticulous Quality Management System.
We adhere to globally recognized standards, including British Standards (BS), European Standards (EN), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).
These standards ensure that our ready-mix concrete consistently meets international benchmarks for performance, safety, and durability.
To guarantee quality, we also perform rigorous lab testing daily, including:
Workability Tests – To measure how easily the concrete can be mixed, placed, and compacted without segregation. Ensures smooth application during construction, especially for complex designs or structures.
Temperature Tests – To monitor the temperature of the concrete mix to ensure it is within optimal ranges for curing and strength development, especially in hot or cold conditions.
Concrete Setting Tests – To determine the time it takes for concrete to transition from fluid to solid. Critical for scheduling construction phases and ensuring the mix performs as expected during application.
Compressive Strength Tests – To assess the ability of the hardened concrete to withstand loads without failure. This ensures the structural integrity and safety of the final construction.
Permeability Tests – To evaluate the resistance of concrete to water penetration, ensuring durability, especially in environments prone to moisture or aggressive weather conditions.
By conducting these tests daily, we ensure that every batch of concrete from Novum is of the highest quality, delivering exceptional performance and longevity for your construction projects.
Delivery Fleet
We have 16 concrete mixer trucks, 4 mixer tuk-tuks, 2 boom pumps and 2 static pumps – all well-maintained to meet the diverse needs of our clients efficiently.
Here’s what this means for you:
Reliable Supply: With a large fleet, we ensure timely delivery of concrete to your site, no matter the scale of your project. Our vehicles are maintained daily and follow strict maintenance schedules to minimize downtime.
Access to Tight Spaces: The addition of mixer tuk-tuks allows us to reach nearby locations that with terrains that could challenge larger trucks.

On-Schedule Operations: A reliable fleet ensures that your project timelines are met, avoiding costly delays and disruptions.
With Novum’s delivery fleet, you can count on consistent, flexible, and efficient concrete supply tailored to your specific project requirements.
Automated Heavy-Duty Weighbridge
Automated Heavy-Duty Weighbridge
Our automated heavy-duty weighbridge, capable of accurately measuring loads of up to 100 tons, is a critical component of our operations.
Here’s how it benefits you:
Precision in Measurements: The weighbridge ensures that the exact amount of materials is loaded for each delivery, guaranteeing consistency and compliance with your project requirements.
Transparency and Accountability: With automated weighing, you receive precise documentation of the concrete volume supplied, building trust and eliminating any doubts about under- or over-delivery.
Optimized Load Management: Accurate load measurements prevent overloading of our fleet, ensuring timely deliveries and compliance with road safety regulations, which translates into uninterrupted service for your project.
Enhanced Efficiency: Automation speeds up the weighing process, allowing us to maintain smooth operations and reduce wait times for dispatch, keeping your construction schedule on track.
Our state-of-the-art weighbridge underscores our commitment to precision, reliability, and client satisfaction, ensuring you get exactly what you need, when you need it.
On-Site Fuel Station
Our on-site fuel station, equipped with a 10,000-liter fuel tank, ensures that our operations remain seamless and efficient.
That means:
Quick Fleet Mobilization: With an on-site fuel station, our vehicles are always ready to hit the road. This ensures rapid response times and timely deliveries to your project site, even on short notice.
Operational Efficiency: Eliminating reliance on external fueling facilities reduces downtime, allowing us to focus on meeting your concrete supply needs without delays.
Reliability in All Conditions: Whether during fuel shortages or peak demand periods, our on-site station ensures uninterrupted service, so your project remains on schedule.
Cost and Time Savings: Faster fleet mobilization and optimized fueling processes help us maintain cost efficiency, which translates into competitive pricing and dependable service for you.
