Ujenzi Direct: Your Building Materials, Ordered Online and Delivered to Your Site

Every building project – whether it is a family home in Tegeta, a shop extension in Mbezi or a full commercial build – depends on one thing: getting the right materials to site at the right time. Too often that means days spent moving between hardware shops, comparing prices and arranging transport yourself.

Ujenzi Direct was built to change that. We are a Tanzanian online store for construction materials, based in Tegeta, Dar es Salaam. You choose what you need on your phone or computer, place your order, and we bring it to you.

What is Ujenzi Direct?

Ujenzi Direct – ujenzi means "construction" in Swahili – is a one-stop online shop for building and finishing materials. Instead of visiting several suppliers, you can buy everything from foundation steel to bathroom fittings in one place, with prices shown clearly in Tanzanian shillings.

We serve:

• Homeowners building or renovating their own house
• Fundis and contractors who need reliable supplies for client projects
• Developers and businesses managing larger builds and repeat orders

What We Sell: Our Product Categories

Civil & Interior

The heart of every build: cement, steel reinforcement bars (rebars), concrete blocks (matofali), binding and fencing wire, roofing nails, gypsum ceiling boards and drywall screws. You will also find a wide range of door locks and mortise lock sets from brands such as Hafia and Andika, plus safety helmets for your site team.

Sanitary Ware & Plumbing

Our largest category. Choose from close-coupled and one-piece toilets, pedestal and wall-hung wash basins, bathroom vanity sets with mirrors, shower systems and squat pans – many from the Frencia range. For the plumbing behind the walls, we stock PVC fittings and water hose pipes.

Electronics & Electrical

Safe, dependable electrical supplies, including 2-core and 3-core flexible cables and DP switches with neon indicators from Tronic.

Machines & Tools

Strong hand tools for site and garden work: shovels, wheelbarrows, pickaxes (sururu), hoes (jembe), pangas and clearing blades.

We add new products regularly, so keep an eye on our Categories page.

How Ordering Works

Buying from Ujenzi Direct takes just a few steps:

1. Create your free account at ujenzidirect.com.
2. Browse or search by category or product name.
3. Add to cart. Check the unit on each product – per piece, per kg, per tonne or per 100 m roll – so you order the right quantity.
4. Check out and enter your delivery details.
5. Pay cash on delivery – you pay when your materials arrive.
6. Track your order from your account until it reaches you.

Delivery to Your Site

We handle delivery ourselves, so your order comes straight from us to your door or building site. Any delivery cost is shown at checkout before you confirm, so there are no surprises.

Tip: when you check out, give clear directions and a phone number for whoever will receive the materials on site. This helps the driver find you quickly, especially on new plots without a street address.

• Trusted brands – products from names like Frencia, Hafia, Tronic, Andika and Double Elephant.

• Local team – based in Tegeta, Dar es Salaam, and ready to help by phone or email.

Planning Your Purchase: 3 Quick Tips

1. Order slightly more than your exact quantity. Blocks, nails and fittings get lost or damaged on site; a small margin saves you a second delivery.
2. Check units carefully. Steel bars are sold by the tonne, cable by the 100 m roll, screws by the kg – read the unit before setting quantities.
3. Order by build stage. Buy foundation materials first, then structure, then finishes. It keeps your site organised and your cash flow under control.
