Description:
A real estate project in Pretoria South Africa with 300+ residential houses with a twist.
Our aim is to develop this real estate land and provide the properties for rent which will cover the middle income market of the area. As rental properties are hard to find, especially for the middle income group, we wish to close this gap by this development.
Construction and development costs will be kept to a minimum and we will achieve this by (but not limited to):
1. Contracting on the labour side to construction companies
2. Negotiate large discounts with suppliers for all the building materials
3. Be hands-on in the project to ensure waste is kept to an absolute minimum
4. Working strictly according to the bill of materials per unit.
Because we are supplying materials ourselves and using construction companies for the labour side, we intend to employ various construction companies to complete the entire development within 18 months from commence.
Once completed, the estimated property value will be at least 60% more than what it was constructed for.
As part of the the history in South Africa, crime is unfortunately not coming to an end. This also have created jobs for many South Africans in the security industry.
Another part of what we are creating is a security company with a different outlook on how to do it. With over 20 years experience between the parties that will be involved in the company, we are looking for a different approach to how to handle the security industry in South Africa.
We will provide the traditional security services such as electronic, guarding, cash in transit, etc. With this we are adding a customer services excellence program where our customer still is our number one priority and therefore we will not be using sub-standard products and all software will be developed internally to suite our needs exactly and those of our customers.
We aim to empower more South African through our unique development program where we will train security officers and personnel at our own college. Creating more jobs within South Africa in this industry which is now not only a luxury but a must have in these times.
The company will be registered as a public limited company, this will firstly allow us to be open to the people and enable our investors to manage their shares more effectively.
Willing to give 48% share of the company as equity, we are looking for investors that can take at least 5 years with us in this venture, not only as a finance partner, but someone that can help the entire company grow.
