TRUE GRIT AND DETERMINATION

MESSAGE FROM THE SA BUILDER TEAM

“You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world, but it requires people to make the dream a reality.” – Walt Disney

What better quotation to describe the commitment, determination and dedication of all the individuals who are such an integral part of the MBA, building, construction and allied industries in SA?

This issue is testament to that fact by virtue of the industry news, commentaries, projects and innovations which are being conceived, developed, taking shape and [literally] breaking new ground in the country. And Team SA Builder is extremely proud to be part of a sector which places a highly valuable premium on all it does, how it does it and, above all, those who do it.

From green building action plans, the possibility of robotics alleviating SA’s low-cost housing shortage to skills development centres, university campus constructions and the 4IR driving post-pandemic construction to the hydrogen economy, making waves at Durban’s Ocean Terminal and scaling to new heights with rope access-aided services, this November edition really does shine the spotlight on the industry as a collective doing great things with and by great people.

Our transformed working and business landscape will continue posing incredible challenges, but putting our content together this month is a true reflection of the sheer grit and determination of this industry. While many of us have our personal favourite mantras, maxims or even memes, we think “teamwork makes the dream work” says it best!
