Built for The World
We turn the paperwork of running a small business — quotes, schedules, claims, compliance, cash flow — into browser-based tools any SMME can open and use today. Built by a contractor who needed them first.
SMMEs run on the same admin as big companies — pricing, scheduling, compliance, invoicing — but almost never have the budget for enterprise software. BuildPrice exists to close that gap: practical, browser-based tools priced for the business that's still finding its feet, plus the ebooks and mentoring to go with them.
Every tool starts as a spreadsheet or a form Solomon built to solve his own construction business's problem, then rebuilt into something any SMME can open and run.
Single-file HTML apps that work in a browser, load fast, and don't need an IT department to install or maintain.
Once-off pricing on most tools, tiered editions where it matters, and mentoring alongside the software — not instead of it.
BuildPrice was founded by Solomon Khumalo, who has spent over a decade in civil contracting and safety compliance work for coal mines, Eskom, and municipalities through Minus One Four Two Industrial Concepts (Pty) Ltd. The tools came first out of necessity — a claim certificate here, a resource schedule there — long before they became a company.
Project experience across Seriti Power, South32, Eskom, JRA Johannesburg, Emalahleni Municipality, and major collieries — the same environments BuildPrice's tools are built to survive.
Solomon's own path — from being broke in secret to building the systems he wished he'd had — now sits at the centre of BuildPrice's founder's foreword and its ebook line.
What started as one contractor's spreadsheets is now a growing library of tools, books, and services, sold across more than one channel on purpose.
BuildPrice Technology Enterprice (Pty) Ltd is a South African software company building browser-based business management tools for SMMEs. CIPC registered, with a B-BBEE Level 1 certificate issued 29 June 2026.
Every product decision runs through one question: does this help a small business that can't afford enterprise software? That's why the tools are single-file, run offline where possible, and carry professional disclaimers wherever the work — like engineering calculations — needs one.
Tools ship as a working MVP first, then move to hosted infrastructure, then get enhanced based on what real use turns up — the same phased approach used to take products from a local HTML file to a fully hosted Firebase app.
Whether you need someone to look at your business directly, a tool to run part of it, or a book to shortcut the learning curve — this is the entry point.
Personal coaching and mentoring under the BuildPrice brand — once-off sessions, monthly retainers, business packages, or cohort licensing for programmes.
Browser-based tools for costing, scheduling, HR, compliance, and finance — built for SMMEs that need enterprise-grade thinking without the enterprise price.
Practical guides and ready-to-use templates, from tender packs to a full library of business ebooks — see the full store below.
BuildPrice mentoring runs alongside ESD cohort programmes, including paid mentor roles with entrepreneur cohorts. Broader public events are listed in the Events section.
For mines, municipalities, and larger businesses running supplier development, social & labour plans, or looking for a compliant, verified SMME partner.
A B-BBEE Level 1, 100% Black-owned SMME with 135% procurement recognition — and a white-label procurement portal (ProBizPortal) that can be licensed directly into your ESD programme.
Tools built directly from mine, Eskom, and municipal compliance work — notice boards, memo generators, and flyer systems for the communications and community-facing side of SLP commitments.
BuildPrice isn't software built at a distance from the industries it serves. It comes out of over a decade doing the actual contracting, compliance, and paperwork that corporate partners require of their suppliers — Seriti Power, South32, Eskom, JRA Johannesburg, Emalahleni Municipality, and major collieries among them.
Yes. BuildPrice Technology Enterprice (Pty) Ltd holds a B-BBEE Level 1 certificate, 100% Black owned, giving 135% procurement recognition.
Yes — this is exactly what ProBizPortal was built for, and it's the model behind our licensee approach. Get in touch to discuss scope.
BuildPrice is founded in South Africa and built for the world — the tools are browser-based and not tied to any one region.
South Africa is where BuildPrice started, not where it stops. The goal is tools and mentoring priced and designed for the realities of running an SMME on this continent — then built to travel anywhere the same problem exists.
BuildPrice already licenses tools like ProBizPortal to ESD programmes. A formal licensee / franchise structure for other regions and organisations is on the roadmap — reach out if you want to be part of shaping it.
Regionally, BuildPrice partners with existing ESD and mentorship structures rather than competing with them — licensing tools and mentoring capacity into programmes that already reach entrepreneurs on the ground.
Free reading, listening, and watching to go with the paid tools — this shelf is being filled in.
