Building in The Gambia Since 2010
Shreeji Development Enterprise is a construction and development company based in Kanifing, Serrekunda. We build across the Greater Banjul Area and run four further divisions — land, boreholes, laterite and blocks — that supply our own sites and everyone else’s.

Why five divisions
We started as a builder. The problem every builder in this country runs into is supply: blocks that arrive late or arrive green, fill that does not turn up, and sites that stop dead because there is no water for mixing and curing.
So we dealt with it directly. We opened a quarry for laterite, a yard for blocks, and bought a drilling rig so a site could have its own water from the first pour. Land sales followed, because clients kept asking us to look at plots before they bought them — and as builders we could see things a broker would not.
Each of those became a business in its own right. Today you can buy blocks from us without ever engaging us to build, and many people do.
What has not changed is the reason we did it: control over the inputs is what makes a programme keepable. When the blocks are ours, "they will be cured before you lay them" is a commitment we can actually make.
Six things we hold to
Some of these cost us work. That is rather the point of having them.
- We take on projects we can complete
- Capacity and programme are discussed before mobilisation, so the schedule can be based on the actual project scope, team and material requirements.
- Written before started
- Scope, specification, milestone programme and payment schedule are agreed in writing before mobilisation. Nearly every dispute in this trade traces back to something that was only ever discussed.
- Payment follows work
- Stage-based payments with photographic evidence before each release. It protects the client, and it also keeps us honest about our own progress.
- Supervision, not delegation
- Our leadership inspects at the stages that matter — foundations, reinforcement before pours, ring beam, roof, finishing. We run fewer projects than we could in order to keep that real.
- We will tell you no
- If the budget will not deliver the brief, if the ground will not take the building, if an extension needs a foundation that was never designed for it — you will hear it at design stage rather than after money has moved.
- Control the inputs
- Blocks, laterite and water come from our own divisions. It removes the most common causes of delay and leaves us with nobody to blame for quality but ourselves.
How a project runs
Pre-construction planning
Site assessment, ground inspection, drainage and access before design is fixed. Bottlenecks identified on paper cost nothing; the same bottlenecks found on site cost weeks.
Material sourcing
Blocks and laterite from our own operations, with direct supplier relationships for cement, steel and finishing materials so deliveries land when the programme needs them.
Execution and documentation
Systematic stage-by-stage construction with dated photographic records at every milestone, and a snagging process before handover rather than after it.
