Specialised advisory for construction companies, infrastructure promoters, project managers and institutional investors operating in Mozambique, Angola, Malawi, South Africa and international markets.
Africa needs infrastructure investment on an unprecedented scale. Roads, ports, airports, power grids, water and sanitation, housing and public buildings — accumulated deficits are enormous, and international climate and development finance commitments are channelling significant capital into infrastructure projects in Mozambique, Angola and Malawi.
But execution remains difficult. Infrastructure projects involve multiple jurisdictions, intensive capital, demanding timelines and complex regulatory frameworks. Local construction companies face challenges in accessing financing, managing construction risk, technical qualification and institutional governance. International promoters demand local partners with operational capacity and institutional credibility that most still do not have.
Our experience shows that the construction and infrastructure companies that will lead are those able to balance three things: operational capacity, robust financial structure and credible governance. This is precisely where we come in.
Six areas where our engagement creates direct value for contractors, promoters and investors.
Financial structuring of infrastructure projects — including multi-currency financial models, project finance structuring, negotiation with multilateral banks and development institutions, and preparation of dossiers for international financiers.
Construction and project risk management — including FIDIC contracts, subcontractor management, construction insurance, cost and schedule control, and contractual claims management.
Technical and financial audit of works, verification of physical and financial progress, construction quality control and certification of works for payment purposes to contractors and subcontractors.
Growth strategy in infrastructure markets, analysis of public and private tender opportunities, structuring of international consortia and partnerships, and competitive positioning in tenders.
Alignment with construction and infrastructure regulatory frameworks in Mozambique, Angola, Malawi and ZA — including works licensing, environmental authorisations, health and safety requirements.
Specialised tax advisory in construction and infrastructure — including public works-specific tax regimes, withholding taxes, VAT in civil construction, tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions and negotiation with tax authorities.
Three dimensions that respond to the real challenges of companies in the sector.
Infrastructure projects in Africa require significant capital and sophisticated financial structuring. We work with promoters, contractors and investors in structuring projects with multilateral financiers, commercial banks and export credit agencies.
Construction execution in Africa demands operational discipline and much more rigorous risk control than in the past. We work with contractors and promoters to implement risk management systems, works control and contractual claims management.
The infrastructure sector in Africa demands institutional credibility to access public and private tenders, structure international partnerships and raise financing. We help contractors and promoters professionalise their structure and competitive positioning.

We support construction companies, real estate promoters and institutional investors in commercial and residential construction projects — from corporate buildings and hotels to large-scale residential complexes.

Methodology tested in infrastructure projects across Mozambique, Angola and Malawi. Senior dedicated teams, with local presence through member firms.
We understand the project, the market, the regulatory framework, the financiers and the partners involved before proposing any solution.
We design executable plans, with clear priorities, realistic budget, defined owners and success metrics established before starting.
We stay alongside the teams during execution — on the works, in the offices and in negotiations with financiers, not from the outside.
We measure progress at every stage. We report to the board, to financiers and to public entities whenever it makes sense.
