GLISCO LTD

What GLISCO LTD does

GLISCO LTD is a privately held Rwandan construction services company headquartered in Kigali (KG 1215 St., Kacyiru, Gasabo) that delivers integrated construction, materials logistics, and project management services across Rwanda. Founded in 2007 as an individual enterprise and incorporated as a company limited by shares in 2011, the company has been operational for 18+ years and reports 250+ completed projects spanning residential homes, commercial complexes, healthcare facilities, public markets, and transport infrastructure. Its core services include Construction Planning (feasibility studies, scheduling, risk assessment, resource allocation), Civil Works Execution (buildings, roads, bridges, water supply), Materials Delivery Services via an owned modern truck fleet, Project Management, Urban Planning, and Civil Engineering Consultancy.

The underlying technology is conventional civil engineering construction augmented by a captive logistics fleet; there is no disclosed proprietary software platform, AI tooling, or digital product layer. Projects are executed under fixed-price contracts and managed in-house, with quality control and stakeholder coordination delivered directly to clients. Materials delivery is positioned as both an internal supply chain capability and a standalone service, providing some recurring revenue alongside the primarily one-time project-based construction work.

GLISCO serves four primary customer segments: residential property owners, commercial/business clients, healthcare infrastructure (predominantly government), and government/public infrastructure clients. Go-to-market relies on direct B2B engagement, tender participation, and referrals from existing clients, supported by a project portfolio website and gallery. Revenue is project-based and quote-driven with no publicly disclosed pricing. Past project work includes healthcare facilities (Gatenga Health Care Center, Kibungo Hospital Laboratory), commercial builds (Aparwa Commercial Building under EGECOR-GLISCO), transport infrastructure (Nyabugogo Taxi Park Upgrade with STRISCO), and district-level market construction (Burera District). The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no patents or regulatory actions on record.
