Services

Eight services, one team

Eight services, set out in pairs, used in every sector. Related services sit side by side, so one team can carry a job across both.

What each service covers

Pick one service or all eight

MEP

One team for all the building services: mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP).

  • Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) for buildings and plants
  • Wet services, drainage and plumbing
  • One design, one programme, one team

Fire

Protects people and property: fire detection, alarms and suppression.

  • Fire detection, alarm and suppression systems
  • Design and installation
  • Inspection, testing and maintenance

Mechanical

Keeps water, air and process lines moving: pumps, pipework, compressed air, steelwork.

  • Pumps, pipework and valves, water reticulation
  • Compressed air, sheet metal and welding
  • Non-destructive testing of welds and steel

HVAC

Clean, comfortable air and cold rooms: heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration.

  • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
  • Chillers, cooling towers, air handling units, extraction
  • Refrigeration and service plans

Electrical

Safe, reliable power with backup: supply, lighting, generators and solar.

  • Low and medium voltage power, lighting, switchgear
  • Generators, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), solar
  • Thermal inspection and energy audits

Automation, Instrumentation & Control Systems

Plant that runs itself and warns you early: control panels, instruments, alarms, building management systems.

  • Control panels and motor control centres
  • Instruments, flowmeters, alarms, building management systems (BMS)
  • Testing and commissioning

Building Works

More or better space: new builds, extensions and refurbishments, planned with 3D laser scans.

  • New builds, extensions and refurbishments
  • 3D laser scanning and as-built surveys of existing buildings and plant
  • Setting out and ground penetrating radar before we dig

Civil & Structures

Sound ground and structures: civil works on plant sites, structural inspection and repair.

  • Pond dredging, sludge handling, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipelines
  • Civil works for cable installations
  • Structural inspections, crack assessments and repairs
In-house

In-house 3D laser scanning, ground penetrating radar (GPR), non-destructive testing (NDT) and infrared (thermal) inspection.

After handover

Breakdown call-outs, planned maintenance and maintenance contracts. Our Midrand team takes call-outs in Gauteng.

How we deliver

A clear plan for every job

Every job, from a call-out to a full contract, follows the same five steps, so you know what happens next and what you receive at the end. The steps follow the PMBOK Guide, the project management standard of the Project Management Institute (PMI).

  1. 1

    Initiate

    Confirm the need, scope, budget and constraints. Visit the site. Agree who decides.

    OutputScope and price
  2. 2

    Plan

    Design and calculations. Programme, budget, risk register, method statements, safety file, procurement plan.

    OutputApproved baseline
  3. 3

    Execute

    Procure, build and install with our teams and approved subcontractors, under daily site supervision.

    OutputInstalled works
  4. 4

    Monitor and control

    Track time, cost and quality against the plan. Inspect and test. Change only through written variations.

    OutputProgress and test records
  5. 5

    Close

    Commissioning, as-built drawings, operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals, user training and handover.

    OutputSigned handover

What we manage on every job

  • Scope
  • Schedule
  • Cost
  • Quality
  • Risk
  • Resources
  • Procurement
  • Communication
  • Stakeholders
  • Safety
Principles

We follow the PMBOK 7 principles: deliver value, act as stewards, tailor the method to the job, build quality in, manage risk early and adapt to change.

Project controls

You see cost and progress every month

Each month you see how much work is done, what it has cost and where it will finish. We measure this with Earned Value Management (EVM), in line with Project Management Institute (PMI) practice and the principles of the ANSI/EIA-748 standard.

Every job is measured against an approved baseline: the agreed scope, programme and budget.

  • PV Planned Value: work planned to date
  • EV Earned Value: work done, at planned cost
  • AC Actual Cost: what that work cost

Estimate at Completion: the expected final cost

An index below 1.0 is an early warning. Clients see it in our reports, not as a surprise at the end. We report in the formats international owners and engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) teams expect: baseline programme, cost reports, monthly progress reports and earned value dashboards.

Digital and AI-enabled delivery

We use AI agents and digital tools for tendering, document control, design checks, 3D laser scanning and as-built models, and project administration. Qualified people review and sign off every decision.
