EXPERTISE AND COMPETENCE OF EBESA ARCHITECTS (Pty) LTD

History and Background : WESTERN CAPE (Cape Town) and GAUTENG (Johannesburg) Offices

Ebesa Architects are Professional Service Providers (PSP’s) in the Built-Environment with years

of experience in all fields of Architecture. Specialising in Green Building and Interior Design,

project types ranging from Commercial and Retail Buildings, Industrial and Medical Facilities,

Office and Residential Complexes, Municipal Buildings and Centres as well as a variety of Housing

Developments.

The original practice, Engelbrecht & Bester Architects, was established in Bellville in 1977 by the

partners Piet Engelbrecht and André Bester. Engelbrecht & Bester Architects developed into one

of the leading medium to large architectural practices in the Western Cape Province of SA.

The partnership was responsible for, and successfully completed, several landmark projects in the

larger Cape Town area, as is evident from our list of over 700 projects and contracts executed.

To accommodate changing trends and market requirements of the new South Africa, a new

company was created – Ebesa Architects was established on 1 January 2006. The total staff

component and obligations of the former partnership were taken over by Ebesa Architects.

There are four professional architects as directors in management, of which PAC Engelbrecht is

the Managing Director.

In December 2016 Ebesa Architects (Western Cape) merged with a well known and reputable

architectural practice in Gauteng to expand Ebesa’s professional horizons, now known as Ebesa

Architects Gauteng. The total staff component for the Ebesa Group is thirty two.

Other than the administration component, all other technical staff are registered with the

professional body SACAP (South African Council for the Architectural Profession) and SAIA (South

African Institute of Architects) either as Professionals or Candidates in their specific categories as

can be seen from the Human Resources List.

Directors: Piet Engelbrecht, Jacqueline Stow, Maurits van der Walt and Riaan Steyn

EXPERIENCE OF THE PRACTICE

Portfolio Management System

The practice is centrally positioned in both Cape Town (Tyger Valley) and Johannesburg (Illovo)

from where all local and rural projects are handled.

The practice is run on a portfolio basis to ensure that the best expertise of the total staff

component is involved in every project, thus providing a personal and effective service on every

project, however large or small.

The portfolio system ensures an exceptional standard in the design, documentation, contract

administration and cost control disciplines of architecture in comparison with the usual project

architect system. Each director controls an architectural discipline for which he/she has a special

ability and for which, through training and experience, is best qualified. This is especially relevant,

in the architectural profession, no single architect can be a specialist in all of these disciplines.

The company strives to maintain a high standard of service by constantly enrolling staff in training

courses and work seminars and by employing the most up-to-date computer and other technology

on the market. The documentation of projects is completely carried out by use of computer systems

– ensuring prompt and accurate results. The practice is especially well equipped to handle fast

track projects with expert computer-aided support in addition to the portfolio system.

We utilise cutting-edge and lifelike 3-dimensional modelling expertise to further aid visualisation,

presentation and marketing purposes.

Ebesa Architects are ISO 9001: 2015 certified and thus maintains a stringent quality

control system.

Commitment to Equity Principles

Ebesa Architects have a strong commitment to equity principles and economic empowerment

within its staff and management structures.

The practice also subsidises students from disadvantaged communities on an ongoing basis.

Ebesa is actively involved in community projects and organisational support.

EBESA Architects (Pty) Ltd is a B-BBEE compliant company since 25th June 2012.
