Abstract: Purpose: This study assessed the impact of stakeholder involvement on housing projects in Nairobi, guided by Construction Management Theory. Methodology: A descriptive research design was used, targeting 127 projects by 15 real estate developers between 2019–2024. Data were collected from 254 registered architects using structured questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS to generate descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings: The findings demonstrate a strong consensus on the value of stakeholder involvement in housing projects across Nairobi. Most respondents affirm that stakeholder identification, engagement, and participation are handled effectively and contribute meaningfully to project decisions and success. While a small proportion of respondents see room for improvement, the overall trend indicates a well-embedded culture of participatory development. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends formalizing inclusive stakeholder engagement frameworks within all housing project governance structures. Collaboration between national and county agencies should be enhanced to create a cohesive environment where stakeholder engagement is prioritized and consistently applied.
