About Us

VJ. Mistry & Co. Ltd began its journey in Bukoba, Tanzania, from a humble family-run furniture shop in 1960. The business dealings began with the supply of its products to the government units and other institutions that includes hospitals, schools, and colleges. Then, in the year 1976, the company was constituted and established as a construction firm. The Ministry of Education came forward and awarded a contract, assigning the company to take up the process of constructing its Agricultural Units in the following institutional zones:

Nyakato Secondary School
Rugambwa Secondary School

These Agricultural Units comprised of classrooms, laboratories, storage facilities, and offices with interior furnishings as required.

The successful completion of these projects allowed us to strengthen our core competencies at the time. Due to the experience and acute knowledge of the sector, the company further engaged in the process of renovation of the following school buildings:

Bukoba Secondary School
Ihungo Secondary School
Nyakato Secondary School
Rugambwa Secondary School

Concurrently, the company undertook several reconstruction projects including major repairs, roofing, and painting of the building structures of the Registrar of Buildings.

Success followed the firms` proficient professional activities in every aspect, allowing the company to register as a Building Contractor – Class IV in the year 1978. And in 1993, as a progressive turn, the company was registered as a Contractor of Civil Engineering – Road Works. Now, the company excels with the honor of having been upgraded to Class I Building Contractor in the year 2019.
