ABOUT MYRTLE
Founded in 2023.
Built to last.
A multidisciplinary contracting firm operating across civil works, oil and gas procurement, and real estate — from a single accountable structure based in Kampala.
THE FOUNDING IDEA
A serious local partner.
Myrtle was founded in 2023 to address a specific gap in the Ugandan infrastructure market: the absence of locally-incorporated firms that could deliver across multiple sectors with international-standard compliance documentation. We saw too many contracts being subcontracted to offshore firms because no local partner offered the operational range and accountability that procurement officers require. We built Myrtle to be that partner.
THE DAILY PRACTICE
Reliable execution.
Each project runs through documented protocols — risk assessment at start, compliance verification throughout, structured handover at completion. We don’t promise spectacular outcomes; we promise that what we say we’ll deliver is what we deliver, on the agreed timeline, with the paperwork complete. Procurement officers don’t need miracles. They need partners who do the job and document it correctly.
OUR APPROACH
Multidisciplinary by design.
Four operating principles that shape how Myrtle delivers across every sector. Read together, they are the firm’s operational character.
01
Reliability
Projects delivered on the timeline we agreed, with the scope we specified, and the documentation we promised. No surprises, no scope creep, no last-minute requests for additional payment.
02
Multidisciplinary execution
Civil works, oil and gas procurement, and real estate operate from one accountable structure. One team, one chain of authority, one point of contact across project phases that would otherwise require coordinating three separate vendors.
03
Accountability
We sign for our work in our own name. When something needs correcting, you talk to us — not to a subcontractor we hired and a layer of paperwork. Our compliance documentation is in our company name. So is the responsibility.
04
Practical delivery
We choose proven methods over experimental ones, durable materials over cheap ones, and documented processes over improvisation. The job is to build infrastructure that works for decades — not to be the most innovative firm in the room.
HEALTH · SAFETY · ENVIRONMENT
Zero-harm commitment.
Every Myrtle project operates on a documented zero-harm commitment. This is not a slogan — it is a measurable operational standard, executed through specific protocols at every project phase from site mobilization to handover.
Our HSE Policy is current, signed by company leadership, and available to clients on request as part of the bid documentation package. It is reviewed annually and updated as Ugandan regulatory requirements evolve.
OPERATIONAL COMMITMENTS
- PPE Standards — personal protective equipment specified per role and enforced site-wide
- Risk Assessment — formal hazard identification documented at project kickoff
- Safety Officer — dedicated HSE personnel assigned per active project site
- Incident Reporting — structured protocols for documentation and corrective action
QUALITY PROTOCOLS
- Material Testing — specification verification at delivery, with documented certificates of origin
- Compaction Reports — formal density testing on civil works pavement layers, documented per section
- Independent Inspection — third-party verification where engineering specifications require it
- Documented Handover — full quality record package transferred to client at project completion
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Engineering precision.
Quality assurance at Myrtle means engineered specification, not aspirational standards. Every project carries documented testing protocols, formal inspection records, and a structured handover that transfers full quality documentation to the client.
Our Quality Assurance Statement is reviewed against current Ugandan engineering standards and signed by company leadership. It forms part of every bid documentation package, available to procurement officers without separate request.
