COMMENT

The December issue of Construction World is dedicated to the winners and finalists of the Best Projects Awards that, for the 18 th year, recognised excellence in the built environment. The 2019 instalment of the Awards took place at a time in the country’s history when low confidence and adverse sentiment, primarily caused by a dire lack of government spending (civils) and now also private investment (building) are threatening the very existence of the South African construction industry as we know it.

This year AfriSam is celebrating 85 years as a leading diversified construction materials supplier. The company has endured various industry cycles and has withstood many tough times. Construction World spoke to four of its executives about the importance it has always placed on quality, having energised and motivated people to serve customers, and how this becomes the bedrock for success, particularly in tough times.

DINOSAUR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE It is said that the oldest dinosaur nesting site was discovered in the Free State’s Golden Gate Highlands National Park when, a few years ago, palaeontologists found 10 nests containing 34 eggs and skeletons which are thought to be over 190 million years old. With a new species of giant dinosaur also recently being found nearby, the area’s Jurassic roots are now being immortalised with a dedicated dinosaur

PARK SQUARE Park Square, Mhlanga’s newest business and lifestyle development, opened its doors in November 2018 and offers a future-forward, people-centred destination where communities and professionals can shop, work and connect. When the team at Map Architects were approached in 2015 by Nedport Developments, a subsidiary of Nedbank, to design a space that would accommodate their KwaZulu- Natal team, the brief was to create a structure that would allow the easy flow of people through the development but also accommodate a 17 500 m² space to house their staff in addition to general commercial and retail space.
