To disseminate information on new building technologies and building projects as well as to provide intelligence on business opportunities in building developments throughout Africa.

Building Africa provides intelligence on business opportunities in the building industry throughout Africa and on the contribution the building industry can make in solving social issues such as housing and urban renewal. The magazine also plays an educational role in providing information on 'how to build' with new systems and materials, thereby improving business practices and facilitating empowerment in the building industry.

Building Africa distinguishes itself from its competitors by looking at building projects ahead of time, informing people of how they can get involved in future projects. It also revisits projects during the construction process to report on the various technologies used.

Building Africa targets a multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder group of role players in the building industry throughout Africa. The magazine provides information for four different groups of readers. This ensures that the ENTIRE building industry NEEDS to read the magazine.
