About Us


Who we are

A home is the most valuable asset for all of us. The safety and future of our family depend on it. For most of us it embodies achievements and aspirations. And anyone who plans to buy a home from a developer deserves to know who they are buying from. That is why we feel so obliged to tell you about Flintstone, one of the most trustworthy and professional developers in Ethiopia.

Flintstone Homes is a real estate business launched in 2008 by Flintstone Engineering, a construction firm founded in 1991. This Ethiopian year, Flintstone will celebrate its 30th Anniversary. Flintstone delivered a total unit of 1532 to the home buyers.

After observing a huge opportunity in the housing market. At that time, the construction of houses was solely dominated by the government, and there was a big gap in demand and supply. Considering this, Flintstone believed that this sector should be supported by a strong private sector with many developers on the market.

Our Storyso far...

Flintstone Engineering s.co, which was formerly known as” Tsedeke Yihune Construction” when founded in 1992, joined the Ethiopian construction sector as a level 8 building contractor. A year later the company was named Flintstone Engineering, after the “flintstones” which the early men used to lit fire to symbolize the advancement of humanity through innovation and technology. 

Back in the days, since the local construction sector was at its infancy, Flintstone started to involve in subcontract works from existing firms and started its remarkable journey thereby developing its construction management, as well as manpower capacity. Today, the company is able to establish itself as one of the leading real-estate & construction firms in Ethiopia.

Our Success factors

Many are curious about how we are able to deliver on our contracts given the difficult nature of the domestic construction industry and the volatility of the market. Three key success factors enable us to keep our promise to customers;

Value Analysis

Research and insightful value engineering enable us to understand what the customer needs and come up with a design fit for purpose. No more, no less. Our designers refrain from excess in flamboyance, focus on function and streamline home elements to constructability and cost-effectiveness.

Long Sighted Marketing

In marketing, we aim to attain zero buyers’ remorse. A properly informed buyer, by a salesperson who has a deep understanding of the customer needs, rarely regrets the decision to buy. At Flintstone, buyers are given sufficient time to think about our offers and compare options available in the market. 

By blocking 10% of the sale price in their bank account, they can reserve their choice home and survey other options, without committing any money at all. In the rare cases a buyer changes her/his mind, the blocked amount is released immediately. Sales performance is measured in a way that encourages agents to develop lasting customer relationships. 

Flintstone sales agents are paid not only to sell contracts but also to ensure homes are delivered. Representing their customers, our sales agents are empowered to file complaints to top management and enforce positive responses by site management with customer payment used as leverage.

Flintstone homes also help buyers establish homeowners’ association by providing legal counsel, office work support and space for assembly. We believe an organized homeowners’ community will ensure customer satisfaction and avoid conflicting interests degenerating into costly disputes. The Twin crossings Homeowners’ Association, established in July 2011, is a proud example.

Operational Excellence

Hence, the first of a series of future Flintstone Homes, Twin Crossings (named after the striking twin-deck bridge nearby) was launched by Flintstone Engineering in association with Century 21, grade one construction firm with strong foreign and local investment footing.

Established in October 1991, Flintstone Engineering is one of the most distinguished construction contractors in the country, recognized for its rare combination of low price and quality. 

Since its establishment Flintstone Engineering’s robust quality management system was ISO-9001-2000 certified in 2007 on that year, a year pegged with a shortage of power, cement and finance, Flintstone’s construction revenue has crossed the hundred million mark. This was over 20 % of our total portfolio, much higher than the local industry average of about 10%, proving our commitment to deliver to the customer.

We believe an organized homeowners’ community will ensure customer satisfaction and avoid conflicting interests degenerating into costly disputes. The Twin crossings Homeowners’ Association, established in July 2011, is a proud example.
