Naba Infrastructure Consultants

What Naba Infrastructure Consultants does

Naba Infrastructure Consultants is a privately held, multi-disciplinary consulting firm headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, with a regional office in Pretoria. Founded in 2016, the firm delivers technical and management support across the South African building and infrastructure market, serving residential property owners, body corporates, commercial property operators, industrial facilities, and building-material suppliers. Its service offering is organised across five verticals — Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Supplier Services and Other Services — and spans dilapidation reports, condition surveys with 10-year maintenance plans, engineering inspections, tender-process management, principal-agent services under JBCC contract standards, rope-access inspections, moisture testing, engineering and design work, and 3D visualisation and renders.

The firm operates on a project-based professional-services model, with no publicly disclosed pricing; engagements are scoped and quoted directly with clients. The team is built around SACPCMP-registered professionals and registered engineers, with three named directors (Michelle, Jannie and Philip) and approximately 18 named specialists across engineering, quantity surveying, principal-agency, project management, QA, business development and administration, collectively claiming over 60 years (one source: over 100 years) of combined experience. Distribution is direct, primarily through referral networks among engineers, architects and quantity surveyors, supplemented by content marketing via the company website and blog, plus a LinkedIn and Facebook presence.

Customer evidence is limited to four named project references (Selborne House, Covent Gardens, Ana Capri, Rosmead Mews) and one testimonial from a body-corporate trustee. There is no disclosed revenue, no external funding, no M&A history, no patents or formal certifications, and no AI/ML technology component. The firm has expanded geographically from Cape Town into Gauteng and has broadened its service catalogue into specialised offerings (rope-access inspections, 3D visualisation, supplier-side services), consistent with a small, owner-operated practice building incremental capability rather than pursuing venture-style scale.

Broad incumbents

• Aurecon: Large South African-headquartered engineering and infrastructure consultancy with multi-disciplinary practices spanning property, buildings, transport and industrial sectors.
