Heavy construction services

The heavy construction services market in the Eastern Cape is worth about R4.2 million, which is a decent size. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for a share of the existing market. It's relatively uncrowded, with only 10 suppliers currently operating in this space, and only 4 government departments to deal with. You should also note that the government favours businesses with a strong black economic empowerment programme, with about 75% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong B-BBEE level and networking with the relevant departments, such as the Department of Public Works, to get a foothold in this market.
