BAHAMAS BUILDING SUPPLY
Bahamas Building Supply delivers unique and innovative construction materials and expertise, ensuring resilient and sustainable structures throughout the Bahamas and Caribbean.
About Us
Bahamas Building Supply delivers the highest-quality sustainable construction materials and advanced building techniques to the Caribbean, with a strong focus on resilience and sustainability. Founded by Sam Ellis, a seasoned Design/Build contractor from Texas, Bahamas Building Supply was born from his firsthand experience building his retirement home in Abaco. Seeing the need for reliable, sustainable materials, the company leverages decades of expertise and a strong global network to provide premium construction solutions to Bahamian builders.
Our product lineup includes fiberglass rebar (a corrosion-resistant alternative to steel rebar), LVL lumber (for added strength, durability and moisture and insect resistance), reusable modular concrete forms, and hurricane-impact windows and doors. These materials are selected for their ability to endure high winds, salt exposure, and tropical weather conditions, making them essential for construction projects in The Bahamas. Each product has been chosen for their sustainability to increase lifespan of the structures and the life-safety of its occupants. Every product improves the environment by reducing construction waste and energy consumption.
In addition to top-quality materials, we provide expert support and guidance to architects, engineers, and contractors. Our team combines innovative building solutions with the island’s rich heritage. From custom home builds to large-scale commercial projects, we partner with local professionals to create structures that are beautiful and strong enough to withstand the elements.
For sustainable, hurricane-resistant building materials in the Caribbean, Bahamas Building Supply is your trusted source for lasting solutions.

Customized Training for Your Team
At Bahamas Building Supply, we know that are products are relatively new to the Bahamian market. Our SMART Rebar and SMART Wood is stronger more sustainable than their counter-parts. Often sizing can be a simple exchange on a one-to-one basis. But often economies can be found in a re-design. To help, we offers engineering support from our team, including two skilled civil engineers who provide guidance and solutions to ensure smooth integration of composite rebar in your projects.
If you've already designed with standard rebar or framing and want to explore our products, we’re happy to convert your plans to show how SMART Rebar and SMART Wood could work for your project. We offer this design conversion service and a budget evaluation free of charge, allowing you to see the cost and durability benefits of using composite rebar in place of steel.
As more builders and engineers turn to SMART Rebar composite rebar for its strength and corrosion resistance and SMART Wood for its strength, consistency, longer-spans and insect resistance, we now offer customized training to help your team feel confident in using this technology. Our training covers all the essentials needed for effective design work with composite rebar, helping your organization expand its expertise and deliver value-added services to clients.
