Outdoors Too

External & Outdoor Works

Pergolas, gazebos, carports, decking, gates and exterior cladding, all built in treated hardwood with corrosion-resistant fixings, because Dar es Salaam sun, rain and salt air punish timber that was only ever specified for indoors.

Our Signature

Walls That Do More Than Hold Up a Roof

A Simba Umeme feature wall is built plank by plank on site. We set out the pattern, cut each piece to fit the room rather than the drawing, and hide the lighting inside the timber so the grain carries the glow.

Hexagon, chevron, slatted, blocked or fluted, every wall is one of a kind, because every room is.

Delivery & Install

We transport, install and hand over a finished room, then come back if anything needs adjusting.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Yes. Bring a drawing, a photograph or a rough sketch and we will produce a shop drawing and a price before any timber is cut. Almost everything we build is one-off work made to a client’s own specification.

We install. Feature walls, cladding, doors and fitted joinery are set out and fixed on site by the same team that fabricated them, which is why the fit is right.

We are based in Dar es Salaam and work across the city and surrounding regions. For projects elsewhere in Tanzania, transport and accommodation are quoted separately.

It depends entirely on scope. A set of doors is a matter of days; a full hall fit-out runs over several weeks. We give a programme with the quote and keep you updated with photographs as work progresses.
