On 1 March 2026, Build it Struisbaai entered an exciting new chapter under new ownership. For the local community, change can often raise questions, especially when it comes to trusted suppliers of building materials and hardware.
However, the team behind the new ownership brings more than two decades of proven experience in the building supply industry and a strong commitment to community service.
The same family that successfully built and expanded Build it Gansbaai and Build it Hermanus has now taken over the management and ownership of Build it Struisbaai.
Their goal is simple: to continue providing the reliable products, service, and support that local builders, contractors, and homeowners depend on.
A Proven Local Success Story
The journey began in February 2004 with the establishment of Build it Gansbaai, a proudly family-owned business built on strong values and close ties with the local community.
From the very beginning, the focus was not only on supplying building materials but also on building relationships with customers, contractors, and homeowners.
Over the years, Build it Gansbaai earned a reputation for dependable service, quality building supplies, and a team that understands the needs of local projects.
Following more than a decade of growth and success, the family took the next step in 2015 by acquiring Build it Hermanus.
With the experience gained from running a successful store in Gansbaai, the team expanded their vision and transformed Build it Hermanus into one of the leading suppliers of building materials and construction products in the region.
Today, Build it Hermanus stands as a flagship store for building supplies, known for its extensive product range, knowledgeable staff, and commitment to supporting both professional contractors and DIY homeowners.
Experienced Leadership for the Future
The leadership behind the stores is now in the hands of Dylan Burger, Clayden Burger, and Warwick Addison.
Together, they have taken over the management and ownership of both Build it Gansbaai and Build it Hermanus and are now bringing their experience and energy to Build it Struisbaai.
Their approach to business has always been centred on service excellence.
The communities of Gansbaai and Hermanus have come to rely on knowledgeable staff, dependable product availability, and a genuine willingness to help customers find the right solutions for their projects.
That same commitment will now extend to the Struisbaai community.
More Than a Building Supplier
As an independently owned business, the team behind the Build it stores sees their role as far more than simply supplying bricks, cement, timber, or hardware.
Their philosophy is based on partnership.
Whether someone is building a new home, renovating a kitchen, repairing a roof, or starting a small DIY project, the goal is to provide the support, materials, and guidance needed to make that project successful.
Local builders, contractors, and homeowners can expect:
- Friendly and knowledgeable service
- Quality building materials and hardware
- Reliable product sourcing through the Build it network
- Advice from a team that understands local building conditions
This hands-on approach has been a key part of the success of both Build it Gansbaai and Build it Hermanus, and it will continue to guide the growth of Build it Struisbaai.
Great Specials and Value for the Struisbaai Community
Another exciting benefit for the local community will be access to regular promotions and competitive pricing on a wide range of building materials and hardware.
Customers at Build it Struisbaai can look forward to:
- Great specials on essential building supplies
- Promotions on hardware and construction materials
- Seasonal deals for DIY projects and renovations
- Access to the broader Build it supply network
These offerings ensure that both professional builders and homeowners can find the products they need at competitive prices while receiving reliable local service.
Looking Ahead
The acquisition of Build it Struisbaai marks an exciting step forward for the business and the local community.
With a strong foundation built over many years in Gansbaai and Hermanus, the new owners bring experience, passion, and a commitment to continuing the tradition of dependable service.
For the Struisbaai community, this means a familiar promise: a local building partner that understands the importance of quality materials, trusted advice, and strong community relationships.
The team at Build it Struisbaai looks forward to welcoming customers, supporting local projects, and becoming part of the continued growth and development of the Struisbaai area.
