Construction
Thousands of large, medium and small-scale construction projects are executed throughout South Africa and the rest of the African continent on an annual basis. Every single one of these projects had to have had a cost estimate and project execution schedule done, which determined the cost and duration of completing the project within budget and time constraints.
​Introduction
Construction firms all around South Africa and Africa are constantly in fierce competition for projects among local and international rivals in the market. One missed tender could spell the difference between meeting, or failing to meet, projected revenue targets to investors.

Our Experience and Offerings​
The majority of Estimators used by PTCC originate from the construction sector with hundreds of years of combined construction project experience among them. Our firm offers reliable and transparent audits on the customers cost and time estimates for most types of construction projects (e.g. earthworks, civils, roads, buildings, foundations, structural concrete, mechanical, piping, vessels and tanks, structural steelworks, electrical, instrumentation and control, etc.).
​Summary
The construction industry may be seen as a very lucrative business to be involved in, but the reported profit margins of large South African construction firms are extremely low in relation to the high risk and volatile markets they operate in. Cost and time estimates, and project controls are of the utmost importance to ensure both a constant competitive advantage in the market, whiles maintaining an acceptable profit margin for shareholders.
