About us

Who we are

Smart Home Builders designs and constructs private villas, luxury houses and modern apartment buildings for landlords, families and real estate developers across Somalia.

Our story

Building Somalia’s homes, with engineering you can trust.

Smart Home Builders is the private-residential wing of SECCO — Smart Engineering & Contractors Company. We were created to bring the same engineering discipline SECCO has applied on infrastructure projects across Somalia and the region to the people who need it most personally: private landlords building rental property, families building their own homes, and real estate developers building the next generation of housing in Mogadishu and beyond.

Every project is engineered, supervised and quality-checked under the same management approach SECCO uses on its institutional works — a level of technical rigour that is uncommon in Somalia’s private residential market.

Why Smart Home Builders

Built on SECCO’s standards, made for your home.

Engineering-led design

In-house architects and structural engineers, not sub-contracted design work.

3D visualization before you build

See a photorealistic render of your home before the first block is laid.

Structural sign-off

Independent structural checks before foundation, frame and roofing sign-off.

One partner, start to finish

Design, permits, construction and handover — a single accountable team.

Skilled site supervision

Dedicated site engineers and foremen — not unsupervised subcontracted labour.

Regional reach

Operating from Mogadishu with the logistics network to build in Hargeisa, Baidoa, Garowe, Jowhar and Kismayo.

The SECCO legacy

Two decades of engineering behind every home.

SECCO — Smart Engineering & Contractors Company — has built offices, schools and public infrastructure in Somalia, Kenya and South Sudan for over 20 years. Smart Home Builders inherits that same engineering bench and site discipline.

We built our name on schools, offices and public infrastructure that had to be right the first time. Smart Home Builders exists so a private landlord or a family gets that exact same standard — no compromises — for the home they will actually live in. — Managing Director, SECCO Group
