Build Hub
Quotes, crews, and projects — one site.
Project management for SA contractors with CIDB grading tracking, NHBRC compliance, tender pipeline, and material cost alerts. Built for the 100,000+ CIDB-registered contractors who run projects on WhatsApp.
58% of SA construction leaders cite digital transformation as their top priority, yet most small contractors lack any project management software. CIDB grading, NHBRC enrollment, and OHS Act requirements create a paperwork mountain.
Build Hub gives every contractor — from Grade 1 to Grade 9 — a digital command centre with built-in SA regulatory compliance.
Sector valued at R153 billion (2024), projected R195 billion by 2029. Government committed R322.2 billion to infrastructure. International tools like Procore cost $10K+/year. Massive gap for affordable, SA-regulation-aware software.
