Explore this serviceWho we are
Tawaka Contracting was founded in 2018 and works from Greendale, Harare. We started with finishing trades — painting and flooring — where the difference between adequate and excellent is visible to anyone standing in the room. That standard is still what we are measured against. Clients who have worked with us since those early years sometimes still know us as Tawaka Painters; the company name today is Tawaka Contracting.
Today we take on complete construction works and renovations for homeowners, landlords, offices and industrial clients across Harare. The company is deliberately structured so the person who quotes your job is accountable for the team that delivers it.
To deliver construction and finishing work in Zimbabwe that meets specification, holds its programme, and leaves clients confident enough to recommend us without being asked.
To be the contractor Harare turns to first for finishing quality — the standard other builders are measured against on residential and commercial projects alike.
How we deliver
A sequence we do not shortcut — because each stage depends on the one before it being signed off.
We attend the property in Harare, measure up, assess substrate condition and establish what the job actually requires.
A written quotation broken down by trade, material and labour — so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Trades sequenced correctly, surfaces protected, and progress reported against the agreed schedule.
We walk the works with you, list every defect, close them out, and hand over a clean site.

Common questions
Practical answers about working with a construction company in Harare.
We are based at 33 Western Road, Greendale, and work across Harare — including Borrowdale, Highlands, Mount Pleasant, Avondale, Msasa, Pomona, Chisipite, Newlands and surrounding suburbs. Projects elsewhere in Zimbabwe are considered on request; contact us with the location and scope.
Yes. We deliver commercial and residential renovations — from a single bathroom renovation in Harare through to warehouse epoxy flooring, office ceiling and partition installations, and full exterior repaints of occupied commercial buildings.
Terrazzo is a cementitious floor with exposed aggregate, ground and polished — durable and decorative, well suited to verandas and entrances. Epoxy flooring is a seamless resin system that is hard, chemical-resistant and ideal for warehouses and garages. Polyurethane flooring is more flexible and handles thermal movement and impact better, which suits heavy industrial traffic. We will recommend the right system for your substrate and use once we have seen the site.
We visit the site, measure up and assess the substrate, then issue an itemised written quotation broken down by trade, material and labour. Nothing is hidden in a single lump sum, and any variation is agreed in writing before the work is carried out.
It depends on scope and substrate condition. A bathroom renovation typically runs one to three weeks; a full house repaint one to three weeks depending on size and preparation required; specialist flooring is often faster to lay but needs curing time before the area is loaded. You receive a programme with your quotation and progress is reported against it.
Yes, and we do this regularly. We phase the works, sheet and protect surfaces, contain dust, and can programme noisy or disruptive stages outside business hours for commercial clients. Sites are swept at the end of every working day.
Normally yes — supply and fit is quoted as one package, and we specify systems appropriate to the substrate and expected traffic. If you prefer to supply your own materials we can quote for labour only, though we will advise where a specification may affect durability or the guarantee.
