What HAMMS Engineering does

HAMMS Engineering LTD is a privately held Zambian engineering services firm founded in 2001, headquartered in Lusaka with a regional office in Kitwe. The company delivers integrated civil, electrical, and IT infrastructure solutions through three interconnected service lines: civil engineering and construction (reinforced concrete, structural steel, foundations, earthworks, and infrastructure development), electrical engineering (power reticulation, fire detection, data/voice cabling, access control, generator/UPS systems, lightning protection, earthing), and IT & technology solutions (network infrastructure, cybersecurity, automation and control systems). It also operates a complementary ICT product catalogue supplying cabling, fiber optics, networking hardware, and switchboards.

The firm serves a concentrated enterprise and government client base in Zambia, with primary focus on the mining and oil & gas / fuel retail sectors. Named anchor clients include TotalEnergies Marketing Zambia (multi-site service station construction and rebranding), Mopani Copper Mines (industrial concrete slabs, underground cable hoisting, steel tower fabrication), Kagem Mine (wastewater stabilization ponds), and Barrick Gold. The company has more recently diversified into commercial real estate, completing the Parklands luxury apartments in Kitwe.

HAMMS operates on a project-based professional services and hardware sales revenue model. Revenue is generated through fixed-price contracts for civil and electrical construction, turnkey infrastructure projects, and bundled installation with ICT hardware sales. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: prospective clients engage via phone, email, or website contact form for quotations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm is founder/owner-controlled with no disclosed institutional investors or external funding, and serves only the Zambian market across the Copperbelt and Lusaka.
