Our Background

“In the years 2009 and 2010, the Governing Council of the Architectural Association of Kenya (AAK), held several meetings, and reports from the Executive Committee deliberated at length on the need to form a Society for its members to elevate their socioeconomic well being.

Subsequently, a resolution was passed by the Governing Council members during the 43rd Annual General Meeting of the AAK held in March 2010 that gave life to the AAK Cooperative Sacco Ltd.

Licensed under the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives, AAK Co-operative Sacco Ltd dubbed The Built Environment Sacco, is the premier Sacco serving professionals in the built environment industry. They include Architects (Arch), Quantity Surveyors (QS), Engineers (Eng), Town Planners (Plan), Environmental Design Consultants (EDC), Landscape Architects (LArch), Construction Project Managers (CPM), and Interior Designers (ID). Real Estate practitioners and contractors amongst other built environment professionals also comprise our clientele.

Membership to the Sacco is also open to immediate family members of the said professionals and staff of firm members of AAK and affiliated associations. The Sacco undertakes Back Office Savings Activity (BOSA) activities for its members.”
