A fully searchable, online database of South African building products, suppliers and manufacturers
Designed specifically for AEC (Architectural, Engineering and Construction) industry professionals, the Specifile On-line site provides an online database of products, suppliers and manufacturers’ catalogues for the construction industry. The service allows users to search for and identify products that meet their exact project requirements, providing immediate access to an exhaustive range of catalogues and product summaries.
Specifile On-line is a continually updated electronic collection of catalogues and brochures covering building products and services available in South Africa. Searches can be made by company name, trade names, or product categories.
