Project Supply
BOQ preparation, phased deliveries, dedicated account manager, and project credit — all included.
In 30 years we've seen what separates a good materials supplier from a great one. It's not the products — everyone stocks the same brands. It's everything else.
Every pallet comes with manufacturer batch certificates and KEBS marks on file. Request documentation for any order — we provide within the hour.
We give you a 4-hour delivery window, an SMS with a live tracking link, and a driver's direct number. You won't be waiting at your site gate.
48-hour approval, up to KES 10M facility, 90-day terms for qualified accounts. Online invoice management. No paperwork headaches.
Since 1995, DRV has never shipped a substandard product. Every batch comes with manufacturer certificates, KEBS marks, and our own QC sign-off.
Our direct relationships with 16+ manufacturers mean we buy at source — passing savings to you without cutting corners on quality or service.
Our quality management system is independently certified. From order placement to site delivery, every process is documented and audited annually.
Every trade account — from the smallest contractor to the largest developer — gets a named account manager, not a call centre.
Live price lists updated weekly. No hidden charges. No last-minute surprises. Your invoice matches your quote, every time.
4 warehouses. 40 trucks. Deliveries to Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. DRV goes where your projects go.
We don't just sell building materials. We help you build better, faster, and at lower cost.
Our 40-truck GPS-tracked fleet delivers on a 4-hour delivery window — not a vague 'morning or afternoon'. You get an ETA and live tracking link via SMS.
Single-source your entire project from foundation to finishes. Our quantity surveyors prepare or verify your BOQ, consolidate your order, and manage phased deliveries to match your programme.
Approved trade accounts enjoy 30, 60, or 90-day credit terms with up to KES 10M facility. Application reviewed within 48 hours. No annual fees.
Need a specialist product not held locally? DRV's import desk sources direct from manufacturers in Asia, Europe, and South Africa — with full customs clearance handled.
