What Building Technology & Ideas. does

Building Technology & Ideas Ltd. (bti) is a privately held, Dhaka-headquartered real estate developer founded in 1984, operating across Bangladesh's two largest urban markets — Dhaka and Chattogram. The company develops and sells residential apartment projects spanning luxury, classic, commercial, and wellness categories, with a portfolio of 66+ properties and 32 currently active projects distributed across prime neighborhoods including Gulshan, Dhanmondi, Bashundhara R/A, Mohakhali, Mirpur, Uttara, and Moghbazar in Dhaka, plus North Khulshi, Lalkhanbazar, and Jalalabad in Chattogram. Unit sizes range from compact ~600 sft studios to 5,000+ sft luxury 4-bedroom configurations, and properties feature integrated Smart Home automation, 24/7 CCTV, landscaped rooftops, and earthquake-resistant construction using a proprietary jacketing system that exceeds Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) requirements.

bti operates an integrated platform with six wholly-owned subsidiaries: Square Feet Story (SFS) for end-to-end design and construction services, The Business Centre (TBC) for serviced offices, bti Building Products for eco-friendly construction materials (e.g., concrete hollow blocks), Landscapers for landscaping solutions, Fire Safety Services (FSS) for ongoing fire safety management, and Stellar Women, a CSR/brand initiative. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time apartment sales, supplemented by joint-venture land development partnerships with landowners (where bti contributes construction expertise and sales capability in exchange for unit allocation) and a dedicated Non-Resident Bangladeshi (NRB) services vertical offering property search, management, interior design, and legal documentation support for diaspora buyers. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through the bti Celebration Point corporate office in Gulshan, on-site project sales offices, project fairs, and a digital presence (website, YouTube, email newsletter). The company employs 501–1,000 staff and is founder-led by Arshi Haider, with no disclosed external equity investors.
