Motheo Construction Group, named after a variation of the word foundation, is responsible for a lot of housing, railway, and other public utility constructions in the entire country. That’s actually how they initially caught our attention.

Motheo Construction Group also offers turnkey solutions where it also offers project management services, too. However, if you want to handle your own project, you can still opt-out of this kind of offer.

We like that sort of flexibility. We also like that the construction company also has experience in various types of housing projects.

We find it impressive that its portfolio covers so many things, including limited to rental housing, hostel upgrades, breaking new ground, and project-based housing. To date, it has undertaken housing projects amounting up to 7,5 billion Rand.

They are also involved in building schools, gardens, sports facilities, and homes. So, if you value corporate social involvement, then Motheo Construction Group may be a suitable choice.

Aside from certifications, Motheo Construction Group also has received awards including Project of the Year and National Developer of the Year, through the years. As a female-owned and led construction company, it also has won various Best Woman Contractor awards.

Among the best construction companies in Johannesburg, it also has some of the best CIDB ratings. It has high ratings in general building, civil engineering, and electrical engineering in buildings and infrastructure – all testament to why it should be on this list.

An expert in new builds, renovations, and even restorations, GVK-Siya Zama deserves a spot in the top construction companies here in Johannesburg. 

To start with, its portfolio includes malls, military bases, universities, commercial spaces, homes, and even industrial structures.

We also appreciate that GVK-Siya Zama has ISO certifications, not only for quality management but also for environmental procedures. They’re also transparent with their quality, health, and safety policies, so you can check them before even contacting them.

So, if you’re particular about environmental impact, you may want to consider this construction group.

GVK-Siya Zama also goes beyond as they also spend on socio-economic development projects and skills development training. The company also supports small and medium enterprises – which we obviously like.

Speaking of certifications, it’s also worth noting that GVK-Siya Zama has received the highest rating from CIDB. However, it’s only for general building, but not for other relevant aspects like electrical and civil engineering.

Unfortunately, this company’s office is outside the city limits and only operates during weekday work hours. So, should you choose this, try to call first to inquire about appointments.

From construction to interior design and facilities maintenance, Afrisom Projects can be a good choice for a construction company. 

While they’re mostly constrained to commercial and residential projects, they cover all stages of construction. Afrisom Projects even does contract services like tiling, painting, drywalling, and even stand-alone project management and tech consulting.

Previous clients have praised Afrisom Projects, citing its professionalism and reliability from the start to the end of projects. Clients also commend the transparent quotations, open communications, and professional insights they received from the company.

Another thing we appreciate is that Afrisom Projects is able to work with various budget and timeline constraints. We found previous clients who’d specified all sorts of limits and budgets and they said Afrisom still delivered.

We also find it commendable that Afrisom Projects is open all week so you can raise concerns any time, even on weekends. Best of all, Afrisom Projects provides free site inspections to its clients, 

However, while Afrisom Projects is accredited by NHBRC, it has yet to receive CIDB ratings and ISO certifications. Still, it has won various awards, including the Home Builder of the Year award.

Overall, we’ve included this construction company among the best in Johannesburg due to its reliability and expertise.

Part of the bigger company under the same name, Barrow Properties is a property development and investment company. It mainly offers commercial and residential construction, but it also does commercial property management.

Its portfolio consists of hundred-million Rand projects such as multi-residential buildings and commercial spaces. In that area, we think the company’s pretty hard to beat, especially with its experience.

That said, Barrow may not be the most suitable choice for those with smaller projects in mind.

Anyway, Barrow has been around for a hundred years and has since received awards, including the South African Property Owners Association award for best office park development for its project, Woodmead Office Park.

This company has also housed previous leaders of the Master Builders Association and Building Industries Federation of South Africa (BIFSA). This detail is a testament to the kind of leadership the company can apply to various construction projects.

As for reliability and availability, we like that this company has contact forms for easy initial communications. Still, its working hours only span regular weekdays.

Temi Construction is yet another female-founded construction company. What’s more, it’s 100% black-youth-owned, striving to evolve and expand its services to cater to the ever-changing and complex civil industry.

While relatively limited to residential building projects, Temi Construction still makes a significant impact as it focuses on low-cost housing for the marginalised. 

It has built around 5,200 houses. We love that these houses are also sustainably-built, allowing Temi Construction to win Best Established Youth Contractor and the Sustainable Development and Infrastructure Development award.

This construction company has also built a few markets, universities and schools, sports centres, and hospitals.

The company also founded the Majozi Foundation, which helps Clermont community members, especially students excelling in STEM.

More importantly, Temi Construction has received the highest CIDB rating for general building. That said, it doesn’t have other CIDB certifications, such as those for electrical and civil works.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t operate on Saturdays and Sundays. Nonetheless, we find Temi Group one of the best construction companies in Johannesburg due to all of its other commendable attributes.
