ABOUT US

ZIMBABWE HOUSING COMPANY is a private limited company incorporated wholly owned by indigenous Zimbabweans. The company was incorporated in 1996.

The company was formed by two practicing town planners who saw it as a viable business concept to be a player in the Zimbabwean housing delivery system in urban centres. ZHC is thus driven by very qualified shareholders who do not only have the requisite technicsl knowledge of housing delivery in the Zimbabwean context, but the financial resourses necessary to drive the venture.

Since its inception ZHC has successfully implemented four housing projects in Ruwa and Mutare, and provided numerous consultancy services for several housing projects mainly in the Greater Harare Area.
