He testified the benefits of using complete roofing services, offered exclusively by Safintra Rwanda Ltd in the country.
Eng. Malonko says his company has used the Safintra’s complete roofing services for a number of projects in the last four years and their overall effectiveness compels him to keep turning to Safintra for reliable solutions, quality and timely execution.
“We worked with Safintra on many projects including the National Police Headquarters and hostels in Kacyiru. Safintra took up the entire roofs work and timely delivered them to us. They used “Ultraspan” as quality roof sheets and trained manpower to execute it,” he says.
He adds that complete roofing services saves time for the owner or contractor who would, otherwise, go around buying every material and hiring manpower.
“These services help us concentrate on other activities with assurance that we will see the roof done on time. This also gives a guarantee as we only have to contact one person in case there is a fault with the roof instead of looking for every contributor to the roof in other instances,” says Eng. Malonko.
He says Safintra roofs are at least 50% lighter than other available in Rwanda, something good for avoiding the walls’ cracks or fall which often comes as a result of heavy roofs.
He adds the truss that Safintra uses for the complete roofing services are nowhere else on the local market. He, however, asked Safintra to extend these services so that it reaches to a big number of people in the country.
Sandeep Phadnis, Business Head at Safintra Rwanda Ltd, told IGIHE last week that the company has been introducing new services to meet the demand of the customers for faster construction of roof and savings on overall costs with offering complete roofing services as a new and innovative service.
“We have technical capability and experience to execute the work in stipulated time. Our Engineers do roof designing, suggest the right material and do the installation. In fact, you can now build the houses and leave the roofs to Safintra engineering team; they will show you the complete roof, smart and durable,” he said.
Safintra which is serving Rwandan construction industry since 2008 has been introducing technically superior products from time to time. Its products are a result of vast experience and technical expertise which has made it a One Stop Shop centre for roofing solutions.
Safintra uses its Light Gauge Steel Truss system under the brand Ultraspan as well as Simbachuma for the Structure.
Some of the bigger projects, Safintra has so far completed as complete roofing solutions include Large University in Burato, Burera District, Professional Training centre in Remera, Headquarters & Key buildings in Government offices, 4 Star Hotels in Nyagatare & Musanze districts, just to mention but a few.
