Yes We Can! The Build it Group was born from humble beginnings and has grown phenomenally to over 400 stores across Southern Africa, supplying quality building materials and serving our communities for more than 35 years. With our core values of Family, Entrepreneurship and Passion being at the heart of everything we do, we believe in giving back to the communities that support us. We do this through initiatives such as our ongoing sponsorship of Under 13 Soccer development in Southern Africa - the youth are our future and by nurturing a healthy lifestyle through sport, we are building a better future for us all. Our contributions to community projects such as school & home renovations are also a massive priority for the group. As a division of the SPAR Group Limited South Africa, Build it operates on a voluntary trading model of over 10 000 employees across a chain of individually owned stores throughout South Africa, Namibia, Swaziland, Lesotho and Mozambique. For us at Build it, it’s become about more than just making home building simple. We’re on a mission possible – to turn “no” into “yes”, “can’t’ into “can” and our customers’ dreams into plans! That’s why we’ve adopted a spirit of positivity, a can-do attitude, a powerful essence and a culture that we live by… YES WE CAN! Saying “Yes we can!” to our customers is about giving them hope; it’s about always making a plan for them and making things possible - most of all, it’s about providing them with positive direction and taking the stress out of the building process so they can enjoy it for the wonderful experience that it is! So when customers ask if we can provide the best service, a great range and excellent advice, our answer is always and without doubt… YES WE CAN!
