The store truly lives up to its “Home Solutions” promise. Shoppers will find building essentials of all kinds, including cement, bricks and roofing materials; a wide range of tiles and protective or decorative paints; and plumbing fittings and bathroom fixtures.

Electrical supplies, doors, ceiling boards and other hardware are also available in store. In short, whether you need a 20L bucket of exterior paint, a roll of roofing sheets or even a large JoJo water tank, Build It Potchefstroom carries it.

Value-Added Services and Convenience

Build It Potchefstroom goes beyond selling goods by providing helpful services that simplify every build. For example, the store delivers building materials directly to work sites, so customers don’t need to arrange bulky transport themselves.

It also offers many in-store conveniences: customers can have keys cut or gas cylinders refilled on the spot, get paint color mixed and tinted to any shade, or have glass and board materials custom-cut to size.

Even reading and interpreting building plans is a service they assist with, ensuring builders and DIYers pick the right products for their projects. These value-added services, all under one roof, turn a trip to the store into a full-service experience, not just a shopping run.

As an independently owned branch of the Build It chain, the Potchefstroom store prides itself on personal, friendly service. The staff are known to learn customers’ names and treat everyone like a neighbor or family member.

They often emphasize a “Yes We Can!” attitude: if you have a special request or need advice, the team will go the extra mile to help. This local commitment means contractors get quick, efficient service and a broad stock to meet tight schedules, while DIY enthusiasts appreciate patient, knowledgeable guidance on even small projects. In practice, whether someone is a first-time homeowner or a professional builder, each person walking in can expect the same high level of attention and support.

Being part of a large network (over 400 stores under the SPAR Group) gives Build It Potchefstroom extra buying power and access to extensive inventory. At the same time, local ownership keeps decisions fast and the focus community-minded. The result is a store that knows Potchefstroom’s needs and truly welcomes everyone involved in building and home improvement.
