A Build it where Better matters
At Build it, we believe in building Better - better homes, better businesses, better communities and ultimately a better Southern Africa. We're proud to be the first-choice brand for those who want to build, maintain and improve things of enduring value.
Since opening our first standalone store in KwaZulu-Natal in 1985, we've grown from humble beginnings into a respected building materials brand with some 397 stores across South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini and Mozambique - all independently owned and rooted in their local communities. With 40 years of grit, grace and growth, we're just getting started!
With our core values of Family, Entrepreneurship and Passion at the heart of everything we do, we believe in giving back to the communities that support us. Our under-13 festivals, featuring soccer, netball and rugby, helps inspire young talent and create pathways to a better future. Whether it's renovating schools or restoring homes, our community efforts are focused on building better, where it counts.
To us, Better is a drive towards excellence in everything we do and a commitment to doing right by you. While we still carry the can-do spirit of "Yes We Can," our focus is now firmly on doing it all Better...
Why? ... Because when it comes to building things that truly last, doing it Better is what matters.
Build it... 40 for Better!
