OUR SOLUTIONS

Building in The Bahamas is different. Salt air, humidity, hurricanes, termites and difficult logistics place greater demands on every material that goes into a structure.

Bahamas Building Supply focuses on smarter building materials selected specifically for those conditions. Our SMART product families are designed to reduce corrosion and deterioration, improve durability, and help owners, contractors, architects and engineers build structures that perform better and last longer in demanding coastal environments.

We do not try to sell everything. We focus on products that solve real problems in island construction.

Smarter Materials. Longer Service Life.

Many of the most expensive building failures begin long after construction is complete.

Steel reinforcement corrodes. Wood deteriorates. Conventional wall products absorb moisture, support mold or break down after repeated exposure. In an island environment, those problems can develop faster and be more difficult and expensive to repair.

Our approach is simple: where better materials are available, use them.

SMART Rebar eliminates reinforcing-steel corrosion. SMART Board provides a durable, non-combustible MgO panel for demanding wall and structural applications. SMART Wood provides engineered lumber and panel products selected for strength, consistency and durability.

Together, they give builders and designers better options for structures exposed to the realities of coastal and island construction.

Solutions for Residential, Commercial and Infrastructure Projects

Our products can be used across a wide range of projects, including:

  • Custom homes and renovations

  • Resorts, hotels and residential developments

  • Commercial and institutional buildings

  • Foundations, slabs, walls and structural concrete

  • Pools, docks, marinas and marine construction

  • Roofs, floors, decking and exterior sheathing

  • Public infrastructure and government projects

  • Hurricane repair and resilient reconstruction

Whether the project is a single home or a major development, the objective is the same: select materials that make sense for the environment in which they will be used.

Support Beyond the Product

Bahamas Building Supply is more than a source for materials.

We work with homeowners, contractors, architects, engineers and developers to help evaluate products, review applications and provide the technical information needed to make informed decisions.

Our support can include product selection, technical data, test reports, installation guidance, takeoffs, specification assistance and complimentary plan review.

For SMART Rebar projects, we can also help evaluate conventional steel reinforcement and, where appropriate, assist with conversion to fiberglass reinforcement.

Designed for The Bahamas. Relevant Across the Caribbean.

The challenges faced in The Bahamas are shared throughout much of the Caribbean: salt exposure, high humidity, hurricanes, termites, remote logistics and the high cost of repairing premature material failure.

That is why we focus on products and systems that address those conditions from the beginning.

Better material choices can mean less corrosion, less maintenance, fewer repairs and a longer service life for the finished structure.

Build for the islands. Build to last.
