Infrastructure plays a vital role in any country, with the private and public sectors requiring infrastructure projects that are efficient and sustainable. These infrastructure projects also need to meet the country’s strategic development goals, in support of the elevation of economic development and growth. 

In South Africa, there has never been a more acute need for transparency and clarity regarding these infrastructure ambitions. 

Delivering successful infrastructure projects calls for advisers with extensive experience and knowledge.
