Build smarter, across Africa.

Upload a house plan, get a Bill of Quantities you can check line by line, and follow your build stage by stage. Each country has its own site. Zimbabwe is open now.

A BOQ is a planning estimate, not a supplier quotation or structural approval. Rates and availability can change before purchase.

Choose your country

Each country gets its own Build Smart site, priced for that country.

Building somewhere else? WhatsApp the team (opens in a new tab) and we will tell you when Build Smart reaches you.

What Build Smart does

From plan to build, in one place

Three services that work together. Each one says what it covers and what it does not.

  • Cost it

    Upload your house plan and get a Bill of Quantities measured from it and priced from benchmark rates. Each bill says whether an estimator has checked it. It is an estimate, not a supplier quotation.

  • Build it

    When Build Smart manages your project, one workspace records the 14 build stages, site photos, materials and spend. Family abroad can follow it from anywhere.

  • Hire your team

    Find builders, project managers, trades and suppliers who list with us, and ask them for quotes. Listings are reviewed before they go live. Check credentials and scope before appointing anyone.
