Eyesizwe Construction is built around a team of enthusiastic professionals with one clear focus: delivering projects safely, reliably and to a high standard of quality.
Operating from its base in Protea Glen in Soweto, Eyesizwe Construction has been a proud partner and contractor working across a multitude of major projects throughout South Africa and, indeed, the wider African continent. With a team boasting decades of experience in the construction industry, the company positions itself as a partner of choice for clients who want hands-on management and close attention to detail on site.
Since the company first opened their doors there was always the lure of specialising in a single niche offering, but the team saw the benefit of stretching themselves and growing their expertise to enable them to offer specialised and expert construction services across the full spectrum of the industry. Eyesizwe’s offering spans building construction, civil engineering, in addition to roads and earthworks, all of which enables the management team to keep a handle on a project from planning and then laying the first foundations and structures through to the final finishes and delivery to the client.
Whether the client is planning a brand-new build, a critical repair or a strategic upgrade, Eyesizwe’s message is consistent: they aim to be the general service contractor you can trust with your next big project.
A culture built on safety, quality and reliability
At the heart of Eyesizwe Construction’s identity is a culture that emphasises safety, quality and reliability. The company highlights a management style that is firmly hands-on, with leadership closely involved in planning, coordination and monitoring progress on site.
By keeping management actively engaged in day-to-day operations, Eyesizwe Construction aims to give clients confidence that standards will be upheld from start to finish and with accountability to one company. Safety is treated as a non-negotiable priority, while quality is presented not simply as a box to tick, but as a mindset that guides choices around design, materials, workmanship and final inspections. The emphasis on reliability reflects a commitment to doing what they say they will do, keeping to agreed timelines where possible and seeing jobs through to completion.
To meet the full range of client expectations, Eyesizwe Construction has split itself into three main specialist divisions: Building Construction, Civil Engineering and Roads and Earthwork. The Building Construction division focuses on structures such as buildings where people live, work or gather. Here, Eyesizwe Construction is involved in everything from the shell of the building and internal layouts to the finishes that give spaces their final character.
Their Civil Engineering division deals with the underlying structures that make modern life possible, including foundations, retaining elements and other structural components that must be engineered to carry loads safely and withstand environmental conditions. Finally, their Roads and Earthwork division extends the company’s capabilities into the terrain itself. Earthworks, platforms, road preparation and related works are essential in connecting buildings and communities, and Eyesizwe Construction positions itself as the expert team with the capacity, skills and infrastructure needed to handle these projects and all the nuts and bolts that go into creating them.
From staircases to design: a versatile skill set
Beyond its three core divisions, Eyesizwe Construction also highlights a set of specialised skills that demonstrate its versatility as the construction company of choice. One area of particular strength is their found in the highly specialised domain of designing and creating staircases, and Eyesizwe Construction ranks this specialised craft as among their greatest strengths. Well-designed and well-built staircases are both structural elements of safety and functionality, in addition to being architectural features that deliver beauty to an installation. Eyesizwe underscores its ability to deliver this balance of strength and aesthetics to the finest standards and most demanding of design eyes.
Eyesizwe Construction’s architecture and design services extend their involvement from the early concept and planning stages through to shaping projects and laying out a total workflow plan even before the first brick is laid. Their building and renovation capabilities illustrate the team’s ability to construct from scratch in addition to a profound ability to breathe new life into existing structures. Their focus and knowledge on hardware and building materials—complemented by a hardware-store style offering of bricks, sand and related supplies—supports both the company’s own projects and the day-to-day needs of both their clients and contractors.
Sharing practical insights with clients
Eyesizwe Construction’s online presence also hints at a desire to equip clients with practical, easy-to-apply insights. The company’s website showcases themes such as how to raise the value of a home, the latest staircase trends, and how to choose the right contractor for any project. These topics mirror the questions many homeowners and developers ask when they begin to plan a project or consider improvements to an existing property
By offering valuable foundational knowledge to such subjects as home value, design trends and contractor selection, Eyesizwe positions itself as more than a provider of labour and materials: rather, it presents an image of a partner committed to helping clients to make informed choices while, at the same time, understanding the factors that influence quality and long-term value.
Numbers that tell a story
Eyesizwe Construction’s track record and credentials are impressive by any metric. They currently cite a portfolio of more than 2 000 projects undertaken for 679 happy clients which have yielded 12 awards in what is a highly competitive industry. These impressive figures are a credit to their 25-member team, as is the fact that they have such a high track record of doing repeat work for clients–their average project to client ratio is an industry impressive 3:1. Together, these numbers tell the story of a contractor that has built up experience over time and has seen its work recognised by clients and industry stakeholders alike.
Eyesizwe Construction is one of South Africa’s largest privately owned civil contractors, which reflects the scale of ambition that underpins the business and the confidence it has in its capabilities. However, despite the impressive numbers, the human side of that story comes through clearly in client feedback. One residential client, Mr Thulani Msimango, who owns a large and busy car wash in Soweto, was particularly impressed with our work. When we commenced the project, he was surprised by both the speed and the quality of what we delivered. His car wash now looks different from any other, which is why we named it the Five Star Car Wash – a reflection of the quality that Eyesizwe Construction delivered to him. Experiences like this give practical meaning to the company’s promises of safety, quality and reliability.
