Convened by market research house, PMR.africa, the Excellence Awards are industry-driven, based on in-depth market research from within the construction industry and are a reflection of how clients and industry insiders rate companies. SMEC South Africa Regional Manager, Victor de Abreu, and Strategic Business Development Manager, Zulfa Taibi, accepted the PMR.africa Golden Arrow Award in both the Civil and Structural Consulting Engineers categories on behalf of the company.
This is the fifth year in which SMEC South Africa has been recognised by PMR.africa, having previously received awards in the Civil, Structural, and Combined Civil and Structural Categories in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2021.

Together with the Shahid Afridi Foundation, we were motivated to enhance and improve the quality of life for the residence of Lora Miana, Mulagori.
