About
Building the connective tissue of Ethiopian construction.
Build Sphere brings six groups — contractors, suppliers, professionals, machinery owners, consultants and government — onto a single, transparent platform.
Mission
The Ethiopian construction industry runs on scattered Telegram channels, phone calls and paper files. Build Sphere aims to be the leading online marketplace for construction materials in Ethiopia — connecting suppliers, buyers (contractors) and delivery workers seamlessly.
The platform enhances efficiency, transparency and trust among all participants while collaborating with government authorities for compliance and quality assurance.
Six participants, one platform
Contractors
Find jobs, materials, machinery and tender opportunities.
Suppliers
Reach every project in the country from one storefront.
Professionals

Machinery owners

Consultants & designers

Government
Verify credentials, monitor compliance, publish tenders. Build Sphere collaborates with the Ministry of Urban and Infrastructure and regional regulators to keep contractor licenses, supplier certifications and project compliance verifiable in one place.
