SANRAL Western Region Office

Services used:

Regular reporting (monthly updates and daily correspondence)

Client: SANRAL

Dates: 2013 - present

Situated in Cape Town, the green star rated SANRAL Western Region Office was completed in 2013. GeoAfrika Property Management has been responsible for the facilities management from the outset. A major focus for this project has been the response to the ongoing water crisis in the city. Low rainfall meant that even though the building was designed with a rainwater-harvesting system, further interventions were needed to comply with strict municipal water restrictions. This led to the implementation of a range of solutions, such as a treated effluent water system, which alone reduced municipal water usage by over 30,000 litres per month.

Scope:

Six levels, totalling around 11,000 sqm.
Facilities including basement parking, conferencing, offices and recreation space.

GeoAfrika was tasked to undertake a due dilligence investigation and feasibility study for SANRAL on a building the organsiation was potentially looking to acquire to serve as their new Northern Region Office. This entailed validating the purchase price and interrogating all of the existing facilities.

Service providers were appointed to test all systems and GeoAfrika Property Management also conducted a thorough general inspection of the overall condition of the building with regards to operational functionality of the office space. This was all carried out on an extremely tight deadline as the property owner was only prepared to hold off other offers for a limited period of time. As a result of the exercise, however, the client saved about R4.5 million.

Following registration of the property, GeoAfrika was then tasked to prepare the building for occupation, also under a tight deadline. Electrical, air-conditioning, fire detection defects as well as numerous general repairs were carried out around the clock to meet the occupation date.

Scope:

Four levels, totalling around 8,905sqm.
