Construction for Africa is a proudly South African construction company with a well-earned reputation for excellence, professionalism, and reliability. Since its inception in 2012, the company has grown into a respected name in the construction industry, delivering projects that positively impact communities and contribute to economic development across KwaZulu-Natal and beyond.

Company Origins and Leadership
Construction for Africa was founded by Virosh Singh, a determined entrepreneur who transformed personal adversity into an inspiring success story. Motivated by a desire to prove that success is achievable without formal qualifications or capital, he established Construction for Africa from a 6m2 basement with no resources and no client base.

Through innovative thinking and bold decision making, Singh built trust with suppliers, secured small contracts, and reinvested earnings into the business. Over the years, he expanded the company into a multimillion-rand enterprise with more than 80 full-time staff, a fleet of 14 vehicles, and a fully equipped 250m2 office space. Singh's leadership philosophy focuses on empowerment, discipline, and long-term sustainability. His belief that "failure is not an option" continues to drive the company forward and inspire those around him.

With a commitment to quality, innovation, and people, Construction for Africa offers a comprehensive range of services across the public and private sectors.

Construction for Africa operates across two main divisions: one focused on new building construction and the other dedicated to the maintenance and refurbishment of existing infrastructure.
