Our Story

Eddie and Silvana Burger established the original family owned store based in Gansbaai in February 2004, recently in 2015, the Burger family embarked on another adventure with the acquisition of Build it Hermanus. Following the 12-year success story of Build it Gansbaai it was time to expand, making Build it Hermanus the flagship of Hermanus building supplies and construction materials; setting a new standard in the building materials arena.

Dylan and Clayden Burger recently took over the management and ownership of both stores from their parents and will continue to offer the Hermanus community the same service excellence they have become accustomed to over the years. Growing up learning the business and connecting with their local communities, Dylan and Clayden have a passion for both the business and the people involved.

Clayden Burger

Owner, Director

Make every detail perfect, limit the number of details to perfect, and always look for the fool in the deal. If you don’t find one, it’s you. We are serving customers, not a life sentence we need to enjoy our work – service, is not what you do, but who you are!
