Services and history

C&L Developments was founded in 1996 and has since established itself as a trusted partner within the petrochemical sector. Our expertise was quickly recognised by the Sasol Group, who entrusted us with extensive work on the Netgain Project—an opportunity that reinforced our position as one of Africa’s most capable multidisciplinary teams in the industry.

Over the years, we have built a diverse team of specialists whose combined experience, qualifications, and technical skills enable us to meet a wide range of complex project requirements. Our services include methods-time measurement studies across projects of all sizes, as well as quantity surveying, estimating, project management, contract administration, land surveying, and claims assessment. Maintenance and shutdown planning remain core focus areas, and our integrated approach helps reduce complexity while improving cost efficiency for our clients.

C&L was founded to serve the full spectrum of the engineering construction industry—covering civil, structural, mechanical, piping, painting, insulation, and scaffolding disciplines. As projects have become larger and more multi-disciplined, we have expanded our service offering to ensure clients receive comprehensive project support from concept to commissioning.

We operate with the highest ethical standards and view ourselves as custodians of our clients’ project investments. Effective project control is vital in today’s environment of increased project complexity, tight timelines, and evolving legislation. Our objective is to strengthen our clients’ capabilities and ensure every project is delivered within approved schedules and financial parameters.

Our team is trained across key disciplines, including:

• Construction Cost Management

• Project Coordination and Planning

• Progress Management

• Accountancy

• Contract Law

• Methods-Time Management Studies

This combination of skills is essential in driving successful project outcomes. Our extensive experience in cost management and contract administration on major projects enables us to identify and define contractor risks early—resulting in more competitive pricing and greater cost control for our clients.

At C&L, our mission is simple: deliver cost-effective, low-risk, and timely project completion through disciplined management and multidisciplinary expertise.
