What builders say
"I used to spend a week preparing a BOQ for each client project. Now I do it in under two minutes and spend the rest of that time actually managing the site."
"I had no drawings and no idea what my house would cost. I picked a template, entered my budget, and DEBUILDA showed me exactly what I could build. That's what I needed."
"Before DEBUILDA, I was losing customers because my estimates took too long. Now I send them a full BOQ the same day they call me. The difference is visible in my business."
"The supplier matching saved me two days of calling around. I sent quote requests to four hardware stores and had prices back within the hour."
"No more guessing with client budgets. This tool makes me look professional and fast, with verified Kigali prices right at my fingertips."
"Perfect for keeping track of my building expenses. It caught an error I made in calculating roofing sheets that would have cost me hundreds of thousands."

Questions we actually get asked.
DEBUILDA targets ±20% of actual project cost — validated against real Rwandan construction projects by a licensed Quantity Surveyor. Every estimate shows a confidence score. If the score is below 70%, a QS advisor reviews your estimate before you see it.
No. If you don't have drawings, you can browse our library of 30+ Rwandan residential plan templates and select the one closest to what you want to build. The estimate is generated from the template's verified room data.
DEBUILDA accepts PDF, JPG, PNG, and phone photos of physical plans. Even hand-drawn or low-resolution scans work — our AI pre-processes images before analysis to maximise accuracy.
We maintain a live pricing database of 50+ construction materials at district-level across Kigali — verified monthly with real supplier partners. Prices are updated when suppliers confirm them in their DEBUILDA dashboard. If a price hasn't been updated in 60 days, we flag it and contact the supplier.
Verified suppliers are hardware stores and building material distributors in Kigali who have registered on DEBUILDA, confirmed their inventory, and agreed to respond to quote requests within 24 hours. Each supplier is manually reviewed before approval.
Yes. You get one full estimate per month for free — upload or template, full BOQ in browser. You only pay to export the PDF (RWF 5,000 one-off) or to run more than one estimate per month (Standard or Pro subscription).
Estimation works anywhere in Rwanda. Supplier matching is currently optimised for Kigali districts. We are expanding to Huye, Musanze, and other secondary cities in 2026.
Yes. Register as a supplier, list your inventory and prices, and you'll appear in DEBUILDA's supplier matching for active projects in your area. Quote requests come directly to your dashboard. Premium listing (RWF 50,000/month) gives you priority placement in search results.
