BETTS TOWNSEND CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT
st ANNIVERSARY
Betts Townsend (Pty) Ltd is a construction project management consultancy that has been established in the industry since 1995, offering superior construction project management services to an extensive client base. Our specialised expertise ensures successful completion of projects according to proposed and agreed programmes, often reducing the duration of a traditional construction project. This results directly in savings on interest, escalation, resource costs and professional consultant fees leading to additional profit for the client / commercial developer. We are distinguished by a directorship of individuals who gained their initial experience in the construction industry at the coal face and worked their way up through the ranks. This background gives us the edge in construction project management. Our wide-ranging and specialised credentials allow for a profound understanding of client requirements and the construction process, with end results that reflect the specific requirements of our clients.
It can be done, nothing is impossible and we know how to do it.

Betts Townsend (Pty) Ltd is a construction project management consultancy which was established in 1995. We are fast approaching our twentieth anniversary. We are 100% staff owned with 51% of the ownership held by a staff trust. We have a level 3 BBBEE rating. We are members of the Green Building Council of South Africa and hold this accreditation in high regard. We have offices in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Northern Cape, Kenya and Mauritius. Our custom designed reporting systems and minutes are user friendly and are utilized throughout the company in all regions. This ensures consistency and ease of reference for clients that engage our services throughout Africa. Repeat business and our list of long-standing clients over the past 19 years is testimony in itself to the quality of our services. Our directors gained their initial built environment experience at the coal-face in the building contracting industry. Our industry awards include a Diamond PMR Africa certification, together with both Gold and Silver awards which clearly place us amongst the top three leading construction project management companies in South Africa. In the past, we have assisted major clients in delivering projects under difficult social and economic conditions, notwithstanding the inability of a contractor to perform. Betts Townsend and its project managers are members of ACPM (Association for Construction Project Managers), SACPCMP (South African Council for Construction project Management Professionals), GBCSA (Green Building Council of South Africa), SAPOA (South African property Owners Association) and SACSC (South African Council of Shopping Centres).

METHODOLOGY Pre-contract: we set up agendas, coordinate and minute development meetings. We focus on design input and buildability. Contract phase: we conduct regular meetings on a face-to-face basis concurrently with the regular and necessary documented site meetings. Monthly management reports are collated and submitted to the client to keep them appraised of the programme, quality, budget and, most importantly, safety aspects. We promote an environmental management plan on all of our construction projects. We ensure that a senior staff member visits factories where necessary to monitor off-site progress. Procurement: from the outset of programme, we address long lead time items and ensure that they are included on all agendas until they are finalised. When it comes to the appointment of the various selected and or nominated subcontractors, we ensure that schedules of these preliminary items are included on the agenda at the outset and that they are monitored with respect to pre-tender documentation and implementation. Our scope of services includes the six stages of a development included in the SACPCMP statutory document as well as additional value added services such as development management, tenant coordination etc. In the procurement of professionals, where a client has not already approached a consultant, Betts Townsend will guide the selection towards a project appropriate professional who has the relevant experience.

ASSISTING SMALL BUSINESSES In the past we have mentored individuals and assisted them in promoting their services. Many of these have developed into companies that are now recognised by leading developers. These companies provide services such as shop-fitting, painting, joinery and architecture. We currently ensure that our staff members are mentored on the job and have the relevant training required to achieve their career objectives. Where the opportunity arises, we have conducted joint ventures with a skills transfer plan that has assisted in growing and developing smaller similar consultancies as well as certain individuals.
LOCAL EMPOWERMENT POLICY Betts Townsend supports national policy and through this have achieved our empowerment vision through a philosophy of “promote within”. Our staff owned trust ensures that we abide by Government protocol in terms of BEE policy. In line with the Association of Construction Project Managers, we not only strive to support the construction industry empowerment charter through our regulatory bodies, but firmly believe and stand behind the broad based vision of a better industry for all. With initiatives and learnership programmes mandated by the executive board to all regions, our macro goal is well on the way to being achieved.
