UGANDA’S BUILDING SECTOR IS CHANGING. ARE YOU READY FOR WHAT’S NEXT?
The future of Uganda’s built environment will be shaped by the standards we set, the innovations we embrace, and the decisions we make today.
The @NBRBug invites you to the State of the Building Sector Conference 2026, happening 9–11 December 2026 at Mestil Hotel, Kampala.
Theme: Beyond Bricks: Advancing Building Standards for Sustainable Development.
This year’s conference brings together architects, engineers, contractors, developers, planners, regulators, suppliers, investors, and other built-environment professionals to engage on the issues shaping Uganda’s building sector.
👉 Register today and secure your place via [email protected] @UIPE_Uganda @ERBUganda @ARBUganda @SRB_Uganda @UgArchSociety @KCCAUG
Safe buildings begin with skilled people.
How can better training, professional certification and effective inspection strengthen Uganda's building sector?
Join the conversation at the #BuildingSectorConference2026 as we explore Capacity Building and Institutional Excellence.
📅 9–11 December 2026
📍 Mestil Hotel, Kampala

From steep hillsides to community institutions, the journey continues.
Every building assessed brings Uganda one step closer to understanding its earthquake resilience and planning for a safer future. This nationwide exercise is free and responds to a Presidential Directive. The public is urged to grant our enumerators access and help build a more resilient Uganda.

The future of Uganda's built environment demands more than structures that stand. It calls for buildings that are safe, sustainable, resilient and responsive to the needs of our growing communities.
Under the theme “𝐁𝐄𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐒: 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭” the State of the Building Sector Conference 2026 will convene to examine the challenges and opportunities shaping Uganda's building sector.

Materials, approvals, testing: Three checks standing between a drawing and a safe building.
At the State of the Building Sector Conference 2026, we examine how Uganda sets, applies and checks the rules keeping buildings standing. Three days of papers, evidence and decisions on what the sector must do differently.

After long journeys and a full day assessing buildings for earthquake resilience, our enumerators deserve a moment to unwind and enjoy a sumptuous meal. Enjoying the fruits of our labour is a gift from God. Tomorrow, the mission to promote safer, earthquake resilient buildings across Uganda continues. #EarthquakeResilience
Our public awareness campaign on the assessment of buildings for earthquake resilience has reached Greater Masaka through @radiobuddu98.
Together with local leaders, we engaged the public on the ongoing nationwide exercise, which responds to a Presidential Directive to Government to assess the resilience of buildings and strengthen safety across the country.
We call upon the public to cooperate with enumerators and grant them access to their buildings.
#EarthquakeResilience #SafeBuildings
Have you seen our enumerators in your neighbourhood today? If yes, they are assessing buildings for earthquake resilience. If not, they are on their way!
Your role is simple: **grant them access to your building, answer their questions and provide the required documents.**
The assessment is nationwide and aims to establish the resilience of our buildings to earthquakes and promote a safer built environment.
**Your cooperation matters. Building safety is everyone’s responsibility.**
#EarthquakeResilience #SafeBuildings #SERENEProject
We engaged the people of Western Uganda through @radiowestug to raise awareness about the ongoing nationwide assessment of buildings for earthquake resilience. We called upon the public to support the exercise by granting enumerators access to their buildings, as we work together to promote compliance, assess building safety and create a safer built environment for all.
#EarthquakeResilience #SafeBuildings #SERENEProject
No matter the weather, means of transport or distance, our enumerators are determined to reach every corner of Uganda, from Acholi, Lango, Teso, Karamoja, West Nile, Bunyoro, Busoga, Bugisu, Bukedi, Buganda, Ankole, Kigezi, Tooro, and Rwenzori to the rest of the country.
From schools and churches to markets and mosques, the mission remains the same: to assess the earthquake resilience of our buildings, establish their safety status and contribute to a safer built environment for all.

State of the Building Sector Conference 2026
Uganda’s building sector is evolving. Are you ready to be part of what’s next?
If you’re an architect, engineer, contractor, developer, planner, regulator, supplier, or investor, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.
@NBRBug invites you to the State of the Building Sector Conference 2026, taking place 9–11 December 2026 at Mestil Hotel, Kampala under the theme Beyond Bricks: "Advancing Building Standards for Sustainable Development.”
This is where Uganda’s built-environment community comes together to discuss safety, standards, sustainability, innovation, opportunities, and the future of the building sector. Register today and secure your place
Busigu subregion is prone to natural disasters, including landslides, floods and earthquakes, making the assessment of buildings for earthquake resilience particularly important.
This evening, we engaged the public @OpenGateFM on the ongoing assessment exercise, highlighting its importance in identifying building vulnerabilities and promoting safer, more resilient structures.
We call upon the public to cooperate with assessment teams and grant them access to their buildings. The exercise is free and aims to enhance public safety and compliance.

Around 205,000 now live on low ground within 150m of a Kampala drainage channel.
In 1975, it was 36,000.
Flood risk isn't only about how much it rains. It's about who lives where the water goes.
Three districts, one important question: How resilient are our buildings to earthquakes?
In 𝐒𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐢, NBRB’s nationwide assessment will cover selected buildings in 𝐵𝑢𝑘𝑤𝑜, 𝐾𝑎𝑝𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑤𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐾𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛.
The survey will examine building characteristics and potential vulnerabilities to generate evidence that can inform safer construction practices and strengthen disaster preparedness.
We encourage building owners and residents to cooperate with the assessment teams.
