Lafarge South Africa has officially opened a Service Centre that will offer a full range of building solutions in a first-of-a-kind for South Africa, in Orlando East, Soweto. The Lafarge Service Centre will have architects, contractors and financial consultants on site, while also stocking cement, to make the building process as seamless and painless as possible.
Tshepiso Dumasi, GM: Cement at Lafarge South Africa says the Service Centres will bring the suburban building experience to currently underserved communities and contribute to infrastructure development. The Service Centre will foster enterprise development by offering Lafarge-accredited training to local entrepreneurs in the construction and brick-making sectors.
The Orlando Service Centre is the first of many Service Centres to be launched in strategic locations across South Africa. Lafarge South Africa has vetted the available service providers to ensure they are all accredited and licensed.
“Lafarge is deeply committed to the communities within which we operate. Our Service Centres will not only take our products to the heart of communities, it will also provide residents with a range of services that will streamline the building process, ensure speedier and more efficient construction, and contribute significantly to both expertise and infrastructure development in their communities.” The Service Centres are intended to stimulate construction and infrastructure-development in these communities.
