Nemai Consulting

What Nemai Consulting does

Nemai Consulting is a South African multi-disciplinary professional services firm operating since 1999, providing integrated environmental, social, and occupational health and safety consulting across the full project lifecycle — from planning and construction through operations and decommissioning. Its core offering is organised into three service pillars: Environmental Services (Environmental Impact Assessments, Environmental Management Programmes, Water Use Licenses, Mining Permit Applications, Integrated Waste Management Plans, specialist studies in fauna/flora, heritage, and socio-economics); Social Services (Social Impact Assessments, socio-economic studies, community consultation, public participation facilitation, and education campaigns); and Occupational Health & Safety (Safety Agent and Safety Officer services, OHS compliance advisory under the OHS Act and Construction Regulations 2003, and training). The firm is distinguished by its Level One BBBEE contributor status and 100% Black Women Owned designation, a credential set that is uncommon for a consultancy of its size and is strategically important for winning South African government and parastatal tenders.

The company's client base spans national and district government departments, municipalities, and private-sector enterprises operating in the Built Environment, Mining, Industrial, Water, and Energy sectors; named engagements include work for Sasol's Secunda Operations, the proposed Richards Bay 750MW Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Power Plant, and the Grootvlei 600MW Solar PV / BESS project, as well as linear infrastructure projects up to 400 kilometres in length. The business is operated as a Close Corporation under South African law (Nemai Consulting CC) with two physical offices — headquarters at 147 Bram Fischer Drive, Randburg (Johannesburg) and a regional office in Kloof, Durban — covering Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for its quality management system and operates without disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements priced via direct client negotiation, with no public pricing, subscription, or productised offering. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales: direct engagement with government departments, agencies, private industry, and commercial entities, supplemented by a website contact form and project documentation shared via a downloadable documents section. There are no disclosed revenues, no recorded funding rounds, no named management team in the public record, and no evidence of M&A, partnerships, or alliances — the firm has grown organically over more than two decades into a small, specialised consultancy whose value proposition rests on regulatory credentials, multi-disciplinary in-house capacity, and trusted relationships with complementary professionals such as architects, engineers, and town planners.
