Description
The rapid changes in technological advancement implications are for companies to keep up with the trends and exploit them to their advantage. The manufacturing sector has been signaled as one of the industries that have been slow in its digital transformation. Kenya’s manufacturing sector has not been able to leverage digital transformation to enhance its performance and is behind in meeting its Vision 2030 goals. Therefore, this study assessed the influence of technological, organisational, and environmental factors on DT in Kenya’s manufacturing firms in the Nairobi region. The study was anchored on the technology organisation and environment (TOE) Framework and Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory. A positivist research philosophy fits with the study’s objective and is thus adopted. A descriptive correlational design is used as the study aims to describe the association between factors that may influence digital transformation. The target population was 725 firms from which a sample size of 176 was selected as the units of analysis. In each of the 176 firms, a senior manager involved in strategy implementation was purposively and conveniently sampled. The data was gathered using a Likert scale-based questionnaire that waschecked for validity and reliability in a pilot study from which the internal consistency of items was assessed. The output indicated that technology, organisation, and environment factors together explained 47.5 % of the change in DT adoption in manufacturing firms and was significant at the 95 % confidence level. Independently, technological factors had a .577 positive and statistically significant effect on DT adoption. The study therefore concludes that increasing technological factors in manufacturing firms will contribute to an increase in DT adoption while organizational and environmental factors do not have any effects on DT adoption. the study recommends that manufacturing firms focus on using technology that has affords them a relative advantage over the existing technology.

DESIGN OF REINFORCED RETAINING WALL PROJECT REPORT
To achieve the objective of this study as stated earlier, the visit companies and offices in order to get the data which will help me to get better result and produce a good report of my research project. This work will be arranged in this way,
Step1; to deal with descriptive study and documenting which show how kabaya terrain is look like and carrying survey and site investigation.
Step2; to produce descriptive study showing drawing based on data will be obtaining
Step2; to assess cost estimation by using appropriate concept

STRUCTURAL AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF FOUR STOREY MULTI-SHOPPING COMMERCIAL BLOCK PROJECT REPORT
This project entitled “Structural design of four-story multi-shopping commercial block in Kisii Town”. The objective the research was to conduct a technical detail and study on the implementation of Structure design of proposed four story commercial building in Kisii Town in order to solve the problems of our country to fit in vision of land use. Therefore, conducting this research project could be a sustainable solution to the above-mentioned problems. During this research, the analysis of structural elements was made by combining manual analysis, ArchiCAD 18 & Atlantis software for providing architectural plans, arcGIS software for creating and using maps, compiling geographic data, analyzing mapped information, dynamic cone penetration test for determining allowable bearing capacity of the soil, PROKON software for analyzing and designing of structures. The architectural drawings, analysis and the design of all elements of structure, cross sections and reinforcements were calculated. The study revealed that building dimensions are (21.30m*25.60m) and the minimum requirements steel bar in slab at the top four steel bars of ten diameters (4Ø10mm/m), bottom three steel bars of eight diameters (3Ø8mm/m). Beam at top four steel bar of twenty five diameters (4Ø25mm), bottom (4Ø20mm). For the column ground floor (8Ø25mm), first floor (8Ø20mm), second floor (8Ø14mm) and last (4Ø12mm), stairs (4 Ø 12), foundation (5Ø16mm)

STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF MORDERN THREE STOREY HOUSE WITH ROOFTOP TERRACE PROJECT REPORT
This work explores the complexities and challenges of designing a three-storey modern house in Kisii Town, Kisii County. In response to rapid urbanization and the essential role of housing in Kisii County(World Bank, 2018;UN-Habitat 2018), there is an increasing demand for modern, sustainable, and community-oriented residential spaces. This study was conducted to help meet the need for modern housing in Kisii County, as the County faces many challenges in providing adequate and sustainable homes.
The project explains the design and modelling of a G+2, three-storey modern house using Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2024(Autodesk 2023), as it provides a clear vision through design, construction, and documentation. With the advancement of technology, the use of software to solve numerous problems in every technical discipline problems that formerly took a long time has become quite common. As a result, the use of software technology in civil engineering to analyze, design, and predict the behavior of structures before their lifespan has increased dramatically over the last decade(Kasthurirangan, 2021).
The research focused on designing a modern house with a rooftop terrace, taking into account practical use, visual appeal, safety, and economic viability. Archi CAD 28(Graphisoft, 2023) and Lumion 10(Act-3D, 2020) software were used for producing the architectural design, while Robot Structural Professional was employed for structural design and analysis, following the British Code as the design standar

STRUCTURAL AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF TWO COMMERCIAL BUILDING BLOCK PROJECT REPORT
This is a project for construction of two storey commercial building block. This project work “structural design of G+2 commercial building at Nyamache Sub County_ Kisii County sector is a part of fulfillment of advanced diploma as awarded of Kisii National polytechnic (KNP). It contains with conception, structural design which provides proper communication to all of users, this project gives more information about the design and analysis of commercial building. The final project report contains five chapters that are: General Introduction, Literature review, research methodology, system design, analysis and implementation and then Conclusion and Recommendation.
This project report also has been compiled referred to books of different authors and by using equation provided in codes of practice like; British standard used in design of the commercial building. The analysis of each structure members starts with evaluation of all loads that are expected to be carried by structure including self-weight. The structure design of this project detail, beam, slab, stair, column, and foundation by BS8110.
Based on result, the detailed plans of this.
