Frequently asked questions

Banyane (بنيان, “the edifice”) brings together Algeria's building and public works professionals in seven fields: materials and equipment, real estate development, architects, engineering firms, contractors, construction services, craftsmen.

You find the right professional, you send them a request, and companies present their business in French, Arabic and English.

Yes. Browsing suppliers, requesting quotes, claiming and completing your company listing, receiving requests: everything is free, with no subscription or commission.

For professionals (contractors, developers, craftsmen, engineering firms, public bodies) and for individuals building or renovating, as well as foreign buyers looking for a partner in Algeria.

On the supply side, for every building and public works professional, Algerian or international, each in their own trade's space.

No. Banyane connects buyers and suppliers but sells nothing and takes no commission. Price, delivery, payment and invoicing are agreed directly between you and the supplier.

French, Arabic and English. Every page exists in all three: switch language from the menu at the top or bottom of the page and you stay on the same page.

Because you don't choose a tiler the way you choose a flat or an engineering firm. Banyane brings together seven fields, each with its own space, search, listings and identity: materials and equipment, real estate development, architects, engineering firms, contractors, construction services, craftsmen.

You choose the trade first, then you search: a search never mixes two trades. The company account, requests and verification are shared by all of them.

In Materials and equipment, you ask for a price or availability; in Real estate development, you book a meeting at the sales office; with Architects, a meeting with a studio. You consult an engineering firm or a contractor for your project; in Construction services, you request a booking; with Craftsmen, a job.

Each trade is presented on the About page.

Yes: each space has its own address on banyane.com (for example materials.banyane.com for materials), and banyane.com leads to all of them. Old links still work: they redirect to the right page.

With a listing in each relevant trade, tailored to that trade, and a single account to manage them all. An aluminium joinery manufacturer that also installs will, for example, have its product showroom in the Materials space and its projects in the Contractors space.

If your company already has a listing, claim it: you manage it in your trade's space. Otherwise, write to us with the subject “Present my company in my trade”: we prepare your listing with you.

In the Materials and equipment space, from the supplier list, search by name or product, then refine by sector, wilaya and origin (Algerian or international companies).

You can also start from a sector or a wilaya page to see every company based there.

Today, 996 companies across 12 sectors: 531 Algerian companies in 34 wilayas, and 465 international companies from 16 countries. New listings are added regularly.

Claimed listing: a representative of the company has taken over its listing and keeps it up to date.

Verified company: we have checked that it exists and who its representative is (phone call and trade register extract). These listings appear first in the results.

A company's contact details are only published once its listing has been claimed, and only those it chooses to show.

To reach it in the meantime, request a quote from its listing: we pass your request on to it first.

Yes. International companies are presented separately, by country, on the International page. They are never mixed with Algerian companies in wilaya results.

Fill in the request form: your need, the delivery wilaya and your details. It takes two minutes, on a phone or a computer. From a company's listing, the request goes to that company first.

Suppliers in the relevant sector who can deliver to your wilaya. If you write from a listing, that company first; we may also pass it on to other suppliers so you get several offers.

We check every request and pass it on, usually within 24 business hours. Suppliers then contact you directly; how fast they reply is up to them.

So that suppliers take every request seriously. A quick call sometimes clarifies a quantity or a deadline. Abusive requests are not passed on.

Never. Your details are only sent to the suppliers who may answer your request, and are not visible anywhere on Banyane.

No. Requests are free and without commitment: you compare the offers you receive and decide whether to go ahead.

Yes. For a house, an extension or a renovation, choose “Individual” in the form: we direct your request to suppliers who work with individuals.

Find it in the supplier list, open its listing and click “Claim this listing”. Once verified, you complete the presentation, choose which contact details to publish and receive quote requests. Everything is explained in the supplier area.

A phone call and an extract from your trade register, so that nobody can impersonate your company. We get back to you usually within 48 business hours.

Banyane presents building companies using public business information: company name, activity, sector, wilaya, website. No contact details are shown until the listing is claimed.

You can claim it to keep it up to date, or ask for it to be corrected or removed.

Write to us with your company name, sector and wilaya: we create your listing and hand it over to you.

Once the listing is claimed, you correct it yourself. Otherwise, write to us: we correct or remove it quickly.

Claimed and verified listings come first. A complete presentation, a logo and pictures of your products or projects also help buyers choose you.

By email and phone, with the need, the quantity, the delivery wilaya and the buyer's details. You then contact the buyer directly, with no middleman and no commission.

Only what you enter in our forms (quote, claim, contact), to handle your request. Requests are kept for at most 24 months after the last exchange, then deleted. Everything is detailed in our personal data policy.
