Hardware and buildware. Timber and boards. Doors, handles, hinges and locks. Four specialist yards — one basket, one checkout, one delivery.

01 — Open the app

One search.
Every yard.

Open Thuso and you're standing in all four yards at once. Search once to see what BUCO, Timbercity, Citiwood and HHL have on the shelf — or step straight into the brand you came for.

  • One search across all four brands
  • Step into a single yard when you know what you want
  • Your last order waiting to be repeated

02 — One basket

Four shops.
One basket.

Cement from BUCO. Timber from Timbercity. Boards from Citiwood. Ironmongery from HHL. Mix all four in a single order — one checkout, one delivery fee, one drop.

  • Shop across every brand without leaving the app
  • One delivery, not four separate trips
  • Reorder your regulars in seconds

03 — Delivery

To your door.
Or your site.

No bakkie, no queue, no wasted trip. Tell Thuso where the work is, pick a slot, and the right vehicle brings the load — planks, boards, cement, bulk.

  • Home address or site address — your call
  • Delivery slots that respect your programme
  • Vehicles sized for real building loads

04 — The mark-up engine

Your logo.
Your mark-up.
Your quote.

Set your price per item or across the batch. Thuso shows your cost, your price and your profit — then sends a clean, professional quote branded as your business.

  • See profit per line before you send
  • Your client only ever sees the final price
  • Look bigger. Move faster. Bill smarter.

05 — Find a trade

The right hands
for the job.

Need someone to fit what you ordered? Search verified tilers, electricians, carpenters and more near you — real profiles, real reviews, ready to work.

  • Every professional is verified before listing
  • For the trade: get discovered, win jobs
  • Materials and the people to fit them — one app

06 — Thuso rewards

We grow together.

One profile across all four brands. Swipe your virtual card in store or order in the app — every rand counts either way, and your rewards follow you.

  • A welcome reward to get you started
  • Earn in store and in the app
  • Offers that actually fit what you build

One Thuso · Four houses

One mark. Every brand's colours.

Step into a brand inside the app and Thuso wears its colours. Teal is home — the space where all four yards meet.

Why it matters

Nothing like it has existed.

01

First of its kind

The first app in South Africa to put a whole building-supply group — four specialist brands — into one basket.

02

Built for real loads

Delivering building material is hard — planks, boards, cement, bulk. Thuso's delivery is engineered for exactly that.

03

The group behind it

Thuso is built by The Building Company — the people behind BUCO, Timbercity, Citiwood and HHL. Real yards, real stock, real trucks.

04

Proudly South African

Thuso means help in Setswana and Sesotho. That's the whole idea — help, arriving where the work is.

Built for the way you build

Whoever you are on site — this is for you.

For the trade

Stay on the tools. We'll bring the site to you.

Reorder your regulars in seconds, get materials delivered to site, and put your profile on Find a Trade so the work finds you.
