Plans123 mainly focusses on completing projects in such a way that clients feel that they got more than they paid for - we overdeliver!
It is important for us to communicate clearly what one can expect from the process, how much each section would cost and what the implications are if some of the processes are ignored or if short cuts are taken.
Plans123 is based in Stellenbosch in the Western Cape, where we operate from the beautiful heritage Building, La Gratitude Herehuis, 95 Dorp Street.
We've worked on hundreds ofprojects, ranging from small additions and alterations of residential houses to shoppingcenters, libraries and 1000 bedresidences. We've done master planning, sport facilities, and various other educational buildings - with the University of Pretoria (UP) as our long-term client. We've been working with UP since 2012.
We have a dynamic and flexible team who work together as and when needed. This model was first tested in 2018 - we decided that we will stop if it doesn't work - but it works perfectly. We believe that all projects cannot be reliant on the same few individuals, we use the right individuals for each project - logistically this doesn't affect the client, but the client can always know that we have top candidates working on our projects - wherever you are in the country.
Everyone in our team is encouraged to have their own businesses - we believe in empowering more people to create and generate work - this is what South Africa needs!
