Empowerment Agenda

Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) has been identified as strategic priority by C&L Developments (PTY) Ltd. Empowering women for gender equity – we contribute to the development of knowledge about how gender relation can be transformed. In particular, we contribute to the development of women and their capacity to change the workplace with their experiences.

C&L Developments (PTY) Ltd is fortunate to have a 30% black woman as a shareholder and director. We also have a 21% black male shareholder and director, with a current black shareholding total of 51%.

C&L Developments believes that future business success and the maintenance of any future enterprise viability will to a large degree depend on the implementation of a successful empowerment programme. C&L Developments sees BEE as a multifaceted and integrated process. In line with a recently published draft government policy, it includes such aspects as human resources development, as well as investment, ownership and control of enterprises and economic assets.

Our Industry Charter initiatives lay the foundation for creating a world-class industry that recruits young qualified people into our team It attempts to change the perception of the industry and seeks to develop interventions that will substantially increase their economic value added potential through best-practice human resource development, skills development and employment equity and gender policies. Stakeholders in the formulation of the charter agree that such policies are not only a political and moral imperative – they are an economic imperative. We see that without targeted programmes to substantially improve skills in the industry, the country will be unable to fulfil the vision of creating a world-class industry.

The industry will be driven by this charter in years to come, but our company is ahead of the game in terms of empowerment planning and enterprise development. We have already developed enterprises in certain sectors of the market to better realize opportunities

C&L Developments strategy is to look at empowerment from a broad based perspective. A substantial amount of expansion and partnering is done through C&L Development’s project execution model; and empowerment initiative for previously disadvantaged companies that brings BEE contractors into a C&L Developments consortium. This format allows technology and management know-how to be transferred to our consortium partners within a close working relationship on our projects.

We are confident that the transformation of our company will contribute to a better South Africa for all.

About C&L Developments

C&L was established in 1996 and operated mostly in the Petrochemical Industry. The value C&L brought to the table was recognized by the Sasol group and C&L was requested to do extensive work on the Netgain Project for Sasol (Pty) Ltd. C&L has grown over the last number of years to become one of the most significant multidisciplinary teams in the Petrochemical Industry in Africa.

A multidisciplinary team is a group composed of members with varied but complimentary experience, qualifications, and skills that contribute to the achievement of the organisation’s specific objectives. We provide complete methods-time measurement studies on Small, Medium, Large and Mega projects for and on behalf of our Clients. This includes Quantity Surveying, Contract Administration, Estimating, Project Management, Land Surveying and Claims Assessments.

Maintenance and Shutdowns is a major focus area in our business and we believe the strategy to bundle the options into one plan, reduces complexity and saves money.

C&L is a growing business with a clear vision and a supporting set of values. We see ourselves as the custodians of our clients’ project monies, thus are we driven by the highest ethical norms and standards in the industry.

C&L was founded to provide a service to the entire spectrum of the Engineering Construction Industry, including civil, structural, mechanical, piping, painting and insulation and scaffolding components of projects in a more productive profitable manner. With the advent of much larger, multi-disciplined and complex projects it was found that the range of services available to our clients had to be expanded in order to meet the greater need.

Effective project control became extremely important due to the increase in the complexity of projects and the necessity for timeous completion as well as the high cost of capital. Changing legislation and case law required more detailed attention in the structuring of the conditions of contracts.

The objective of C&L’s involvement is to supplement your capabilities, to ensure that projects are completed on time and within the financial parameters approved. We have the experience and are available to assist in establishing these parameters in all phases from concept to commissioning of any project.

The level of our involvement varies with the execution method, the size of the project and the workload of your staff.

Our staff are trained in hands on:

● Construction Cost Management
● Project Co-ordination and Planning
● Progress Management
● Accountancy
● Contract Law
● Methods-Time Management Studies

And therefore having the combined skills essential in bringing the project to a successful completion.

Our personnel gained experience in the construction cost management and contract administration field, on major projects.

The service we provide is to contribute to define the contractor’s risk, which results in a lower price and enables the client to control the cost of the project.

Ensuring Cost Effective, Project Completion on minimal Risk to the client.
