INTRODUCTION
Who we are
M Civils cc was registered when the Managing Director, Mr Mike de Kock, realised the forthcoming opportunities rooted in the government's Reconstruction and Development Programme. This program required a lot of infrastructure development for its success, and having more than 20 years' experience in this sector, M Civils cc could capitalise on these opportunities. M Civils (Pty) Ltd commenced on its first contract in 1997.
After completing several contracts as a sub contractor, M Civils cc showed enough growth to tender as a main contractor in the infrastructure development sector. After successfully completing various contracts on this basis, M Civils cc was incorporated as a Proprietary Limited company in 1999.
Realising the need for Black Empowerment, M Civils (Pty) Ltd embarked on a program to train and empower its personnel from previously disadvantaged groups. From this program several people were trained as site managers. The program has been quite successful and the management of M Civils (Pty) Ltd now includes above 50% previously disadvantaged individuals, and one director, who also owns 51% of the company. The two directors and all black personnel, who have worked for M Civils (Pty) Ltd for more than 5 years, are beneficiaries of the M Civils Black Employee Empowerment Trust.
M Civils (Pty) Ltd also assists several small black owned companies with administration and other contractual matters in order for them to grow. We see this as an integral part of our strategic investment in, and upliftment of, the communities in which we work.
