Where Almost Every Job Goes Through the Trustees
Century City is a planned precinct rather than an old suburb — apartment blocks, townhouse complexes, office parks, and retail, nearly all of it sectional title under an owners' association. That changes the job before a tool comes out of the van: the scope has to suit the scheme rules, and trustee approval comes before anything starts.
The building stock is modern but not without its faults. It sits on low-lying reclaimed land threaded with canals, so the water table is high; salt wind comes off Table Bay; and the thinner modern plaster over lightweight board tends to crack at the joints. We know what those symptoms mean here.

Serving Century City & Beyond
Working Across the Table Bay Side of the City
Century City sits among the suburbs and business districts on the Table Bay side of the city, and we work throughout them — Milnerton, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland, Table View, Bloubergstrand, Edgemead, and Goodwood — as well as the rest of Cape Town. Wherever your property is, we bring the same standard of workmanship, clear communication, and reliable project management.
Frequently Asked Questions About Building in Century City
Common questions from Century City owners, trustees, and managing agents — covering scheme approval, after-hours work, fit-outs, waterproofing, and quotes.
Do you work with body corporates, trustees, and managing agents?
Yes. Most Century City property is sectional title, so a large part of the work here is done for body corporates and managing agents rather than individual owners. We quote in a format that can be put to trustees and work to the scheme's rules and approval process.
Do we need scheme approval before renovating a unit?
Usually, yes. Most renovations beyond cosmetic finishes need the trustees' or the owners' association's approval, and anything touching common property, the building exterior, or structure certainly does. We help prepare the scope and drawings you need to submit.
Can you work after hours in occupied offices and apartments?
Yes. In tenanted offices and occupied blocks we phase the work and run noisy or disruptive stages outside business hours or over weekends, so trading and residents are affected as little as possible.
Do you do commercial and office fit-outs, not just homes?
Yes. Century City is as much offices and retail as it is apartments. We take on tenant installations, partitioning, suspended ceilings, and full fit-outs across the precinct's commercial space.
Why do the walls in newer Century City buildings crack at the joints?
Much of the precinct is built with thinner modern plaster over lightweight board, which moves at the joints and shows fine cracking. The fix is to open the joint, tape and fill it correctly, and finish it — not simply to skim and repaint over the crack.
Do you handle balcony and soffit waterproofing?
Yes, and it is one of the more common jobs here. Balcony leaks usually show up in the unit below, which makes them a common property matter. We trace the failure, strip back, and re-waterproof with the correct falls and detailing.
