Dear Fellow Helderbergers and lovely people of Cape Town

I offer a service to all of you who are going to embark on any building alteration, building addition or building refurbishment project at your home, at your office or at your business.
So many people do not have the knowledge of building or construction projects and get caught wasting time and money due to the poor, or the lack of proper planning.  Money is also wasted on contractors who offer poor workmanship and cannot complete a project.  That gives the profession a bad name.  I have seen it happening so many times even in the short period that I am staying in the beautiful coastal town of Gordon's Bay.  This kind of mindset and behaviour should be changed for the better.  So let this not happen to you.  All the negative drama and pain can be avoided if there is someone who can give you the right advice and assist you with planning before you start.
As a qualified construction manager with over 35 years experience in the built environment, I will assist you with advice, help you with your planning, budgets, quotations and  professional investigations and with laws and regulations, before you start.  I can also manage the construction process for you including the final close out and successful handover of your endeavour to you.  Planning is my forte and better to know what you are letting yourself in for than going in like a blindfolded sheep on it's way to the slaughterhouse.  Most people know a friend of a friend or a roadside contractor who can do something for them cheaper, but eventually land up paying double what they bargained for.
I managed all the facility aspects at a very prestigious golf and country club in Gauteng for many years and was a project manager at the University of Pretoria for the last 12 years and if I do not know something, I will get a professional competent person to talk to you. Check out my CV below.

A fee can be agreed upon, according to the size and complexity of your request or project, but please Whatsapp me even when you want some advice only.
