using the most modern techniques of construction. The business is going to enter the market having
adopted the use of modern techniques to outdo the competitors and satisfy its customer’s needs... The

1.7 JUSTIFICATION OF OPPORTUNITY.
The reason for the firm to engage in construction business is due to research the owner
conducted and found that the current market in the area lack the latest construction technology
and the one that are available lack adequate designing skill and modern construction techniques.
9|Page
Private firms and district construction officers concentrate only in offering outdated construction
services since they only specialized in one type of construction designs. Thus it will be an
opportunity for POKI concreate workers to try expanding its construction services to outdo them.
The area has so many settlement areas e.g.: Kisian referral hospital, Kisian KMTC and Lung’a
settlement areas that requires subdivision to resettle people thus the need to open a construction
firm. Hostels under construction for KMTC students.
1.8 INDUSTRY
The business will fail under geo-informatics industry as it will offer surveying and mapping of
services under modern technology that is now developing and used in the current. The industry
will be boosted by engineers and physical planners who will rely on this industry for the services
that will assist them in their operation. The firm will adopt the use of surveying software such as
Auto CAD and Arch CAD to attracts its major customers within the outside industry.
