Infrastructure

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. BDO has decades of experience working with governments, quasi-government institutions and private clients, bidding for government contracts. Our holistic approach to advising throughout the project lifecycle means that we have an impressive track record in providing financial support on procurement projects, as well as the expertise required to produce the key project documentation.
