What it is
A supply warehouse, not a hardware shop.
We hold a narrow range of the materials that sites actually run out of, price them from one list, and deliver them. We are not trying to look like a hardware catalogue.
- Where
- One warehouse at Ngecha, Kiambu, serving sites across Kiambu and Nairobi.
- Who buys
- Contractors, subcontractors, developers, institutions, property managers and fundis. Accounts that reorder, not one-off homeowners.
- What we stock
- Steel and reinforcement, hollow sections, roofing and rainwater, plumbing, consumables and a controlled selection of tools.
- How it is priced
- From one central price list. The number you get is the number anyone gets, and it traces back to a dated source.
About us
We compete on the part everyone else drops.
Materials arrive when promised.
The Gawa promise
A contractor's expensive resource is not the materials. It is a crew standing on site with nothing to do. When a delivery is late, short or wrong, the contractor pays for idle labour and loses a day of programme.
Suppliers compete on the quoted figure, then compete badly on whether the thing actually turns up. We compete on the second one.
None of how we do it is clever: a narrow range that turns, weekly cycle counts, one price list, deposits or cash on delivery, and a signed delivery note on every load. All of them are the things that quietly do not happen at the alternative.
- Status
- Gawa is opening at Ngecha, Kiambu. We are signing up the first contractor accounts before launch.
- What we are not
- Not a walk-in shop. Not a megaproject supplier. Not a lender, credit is a controlled exception, not a product.
What's unique
Five things we hold to.
- 01
One price list. One price.
The number you get is the number anyone else gets, and it traces to a dated source. No friend price, no stranger price.
- 02
A narrow range that turns.
We stock what sites reorder, not a broad catalogue. A line that does not turn is capital sitting in a yard.
- 03
Delivery is a service with a signature.
Nothing leaves the yard without an invoice, a delivery note, a destination and a receiving contact. The site signs. The photo is filed.
- 04
A quote is a commitment.
Every quote carries a validity window, because steel moves. We will not give you a number we cannot stand behind.
- 05
Built for accounts, not footfall.
B2B only. Deposits and cash on delivery first. Credit after history, with a limit and a due date.
