Construction & BIM software in DR Congo

In short

SangoImmo works in DR Congo — in Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Goma, Mbuji-Mayi, Kisangani and on any site in between: design a house in 2D/3D, get the quantities and cost, and produce a quote — priced in FC Congolese franc, in the Central Africa. It is offline-first (built for patchy networks) and runs on web, Android and iOS. Open SangoImmo →

Design, cost and quote — in DR Congo

SangoImmo is a single tool for building professionals, developers and homeowners in DR Congo: draw the plan, and the same model gives you the takeoff, the construction cost and a detailed quote in FC Congolese franc. You can request a Mobile Money deposit and turn a quote into an invoice and a buy list. No engineering office, no annual licence.

Most of what a builder does is the same everywhere: measure the walls, count the blocks, price the labour. What changes across a border is the currency the client reads, the language the quote is written in, and the standards the inspector cites. SangoImmo quotes in FC Congolese franc, writes in French or English, and works with no network — which matters more on a site outside Kinshasa than any feature list.

Prices and methodology in DR Congo

DR Congo has its own seaboard, so imported materials — reinforcement steel, tiles, sanitaryware — land close to the main markets and carry less inland haulage than they do in the landlocked interior. Prices still move with the port, the exchange rate and the season, which is why the app costs from your prices rather than from ours.

SangoImmo prices in FC Congolese franc and adjusts for local conditions. Our published, measured cost index is Cameroon-first — we do not invent price tables for markets we have not measured, and that includes DR Congo. What you do instead is better anyway: enter the prices your own suppliers in Kinshasa quoted you this month, once, and every future estimate uses them. See how the numbers are built in the guides and in our methodology.

Frequently asked questions

Does SangoImmo work in DR Congo?
Yes. SangoImmo works across Africa, including DR Congo: it prices in FC Congolese franc, works offline and runs on web, Android and iOS. You can design, cost, quote and find building professionals.
Is it free in DR Congo?
Designing, 3D visualization and costing are free. The client-ready export pass is also free in DR Congo while we grow (it is a small paid pass in Cameroon).
In what currency does it quote?
In FC Congolese franc. You can also enter your own supplier prices so the quote matches your market in DR Congo.
Does it cover Kinshasa and the other cities?
Yes — the app is not tied to a city list: it costs whatever you draw, wherever you build, from Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Goma, Mbuji-Mayi, Kisangani to a site with no address yet. The one thing we do not do is publish invented per-city price tables for DR Congo; our measured index covers Cameroon only, so you enter your own local prices and the estimate becomes genuinely local.
