The company was started in 2006 when a need was identified in the local municipal area for individuals with experience in the civil engineering and construction industry to fulfil project needs. Specialization in labour-intensive construction projects is what sets the company apart from their competitors. Being involved in various building as well as civil engineering projects, PR Civils was the ideal candidate to get involved in the governments “Expanded Public Works Programme”. Unemployed local residents are sourced, trained and given the opportunity to work on local projects, thus providing them with poverty and income relief.
