The community has officially spoken, naming Build It the "Best of Potch 2025" winner in the hardware and building category, elevating the store above every other competitor in the region.

This accolade is not just a trophy on a shelf; it is a direct reflection of the trust, loyalty, and relationships built between the store’s expert team and the residents of Potchefstroom.

A Victory Powered by the Community

In a highly competitive market, Build It Potchefstroom secured the top spot because of its unwavering commitment to the people it serves. Whether helping a DIY enthusiast choose the right paint for a weekend project or supplying bulk materials to local contractors, the store has become an indispensable part of the city's daily life.

The "Best of Potch" award highlights a simple truth: when it comes to quality materials, competitive pricing, and unmatched advice, local residents know exactly who to trust.

"Winning this award is incredibly humbling because it comes directly from our customers," says Herman, store representative at Build It Potchefstroom. "Every single day, our team comes in with a 'Yes We Can!' attitude.

This recognition belongs to our hard-working staff and the incredible community that continues to support us. We don't just want to be a shop where you buy cement or tools; we want to be the partners you rely on to build your dreams."

Driving the Future of Potch

The award also underscores Build It’s massive role in the physical transformation of the city. Potchefstroom is currently experiencing a historic construction boom, largely driven by the demand for Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA).

By ensuring a steady, reliable supply of premium building materials to large-scale developments across the city, the store is actively helping to shape the future landscape of Potch.
