5 MAIN FIELDS OF EXPERTISE Besides the technical expertise and experience of the normal QUANTITY surveying functions such as feasibility studies, estimating, cost planning, tender documentation, cost management and control, the partners have, in all our centres, extremely strong links and have been instrumental in providing opportunities to emergent local contractors and sub contractors both on a small and large scale. In particular, we have been intimately involved in the past in securing the approval and participation of black contractor organizations such as the National Black Contractors and Allied Trades Forum (Nabcat), the National African Federation for the Building Industry (Nafbi) and the African Builders Association (ABA), in the tendering procedure and the participation of their members, particularly in the Johannesburg Station Precinct projects that we have been involved.
6 Our practice has been involved in several projects which specifically addressed means of incorporating RDP objectives in construction projects. The objective being to create an enabling environment for Emerging Contractors: the historically disadvantaged sectors to manage and administer Enterprising opportunities previously denied to such groups as well as ensuring that public sector spending benefits the beneficiary communities in matters such as employment, training and award of contracts. We have also been and are currently involved extensively in the monitoring of affirmative procurement a specialised service that we offer to our Clients.
