At Build-Smart we are committed to introducing you to better, smarter ways of designing, building or renovating your home. Our mandate is to secure distribution or OEM rights to innovative building products and technologies in order to offer you, the consumer, high-value, turn-key alternative solutions to conventional building practices. Build-Smart offers both retail & wholesale sales to consumers, contractors and developers. We not only supply products but offer in-house or sub-contracted installations, testing and warranty certification on all the products we sell. Through various partnerships with third party vendors & contractors we strive to provide integrated, one stop solutions for your home or business.

Benoit

Build-Smart started out as a dream for founder Benoit Maneckjee a decade ago while he was still working within the Canadian IT software sector.  Benoit got the bug to build his family an innovative, energy efficient home and found the market lacking.  Need being the mother of invention, he founded the company in 2001 after negotiating an exclusive distribution agreement for Alcatel Nexans heating cables within Newfoundland and Labrador.  Four new product lines over 600 satisfied customers later, the company has carved out a niche for itself within the electric in-floor heating industry and earned itself a reputation as Canada’s highest per capita supplier of the technology within the residential primary heat market.

Benoit Maneckjee, founder and president, is responsible for researching new products, prototyping new building systems, establishing product representation, training contractors and licensing new technologies. If you are a manufacturer or distributor of new or innovative building products and are interested in having Build-Smart represent your products then you should contact Benoit.

If you have talents, knowledge and experience you think would be of value to us, contact Benoit Maneckjee to discuss how we might be able to work with you in growing our business.



Many of the challenges of selling innovative products in any market include research, prototyping, testing, creating consumer and industry awareness, education, potentially long sales cycles and the high level of service and attention required to ensure the new products are being installed and used properly. Having said all that, the decision maker is the end-user of our products - not the contractor or the developer. It is therefore our aim to offer our product directly to the consumer by working along-side contractors and developers as the best means of ensuring responsive sales quotes, followed through with coordinated installations and prompt service. Over time as new products become more widely accepted we begin to see a welcomed increase in wholesale business from building professionals already experienced with our products and installation practices.
 
It is our goal to recruit and train a modest but effective network of independent contractors & developers across Atlantic Canada. We are now actively looking for partnerships in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island as well as interest for the rest of Canada.
