Nkandla is in northern KwaZulu-Natal, in the King Cetshwayo district.
Build It stores are independently owned and operate under the SPAR Group’s banner, so the store holds your order and your account rather than a national head office.
For a building project, get the quotation in writing with the delivery date and the return terms for surplus stock. Unused cement and brick are frequently non-returnable, and in a rural district a delivery that cannot be offloaded is still charged for.
This page covers how to contact Build It in South Africa. The details below were taken from the official Build It contact page rather than from any third-party directory.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not Build It and cannot act on your behalf. Everything on this page is a routing aid so you reach the right official channel quickly.

Build It stores are independently owned and operate under the SPAR Group’s banner. The store holds your order and your account. For a building project, get the quotation in writing with the delivery date and the return terms for surplus stock, because unused cement and brick are frequently non-returnable and that is where a materials budget overruns.
Self-service options before you call
- Check the official site at buildit.co.za, which carries the current contact details and any online enquiry form.
- WhatsApp on 081 335 3005, which works over wifi and leaves you a written record.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Hiring a contractor or a builder
- A home builder must be registered with the NHBRC, the National Home Builders Registration Council, and a new home must be enrolled with it. Using an unregistered builder removes your protection entirely.
- Ask for proof of insurance, including public liability, before anyone works on your property.
- Plans and municipal approval come first. Building without approved plans creates a problem that surfaces when you sell, and a municipality can order demolition.
- Pay against progress, never in full upfront. Structure payments to stages of completion and inspect before releasing each one.
- Get the contract in writing, with the scope, the price, the timeline and what happens if it overruns.
Keep photographs of each stage with dates. Building disputes are decided on evidence of what was actually done and when, and a photographic record costs nothing to make.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the business’s own complaints process first, in writing and with the till slip and a reference number. Unresolved consumer complaints go to the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud on 0860 000 272, free of charge, or by WhatsApp on 081 335 3005. The National Consumer Commission on 012 065 1940 handles contraventions of the Consumer Protection Act itself.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most consumer complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake Build It contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not Build It.
- Reach Build It through the official site at buildit.co.za rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- Build It will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Build It contact number?
The routes are listed in the table above, with what each one is for. The main route is 031 002 6200. Confirm it on buildit.co.za before relying on it, since numbers are changed from time to time.
How do I know a Build It number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at buildit.co.za. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not Build It, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
