The first construction RFP drew no submissions — there was no coordinated design for contractors to price against, not a shortfall in the team.
The HOA took the correct strategic decision: appoint a Lead Architectural Consultant to establish the project properly under SACAP and municipal requirements, before returning to construction tender.
Since AIV Associates' appointment on 27 March 2026: the brief and stakeholder requirements are established, statutory zoning is confirmed, specialist investigations are coordinated, and design has progressed into Stage 3 — all on a structured SACAP Stage 1–6 programme.

exterior renderA modern monopitch form — efficient materials, a clean and confident presence.
More than the brief asked for in quality and presence — delivered through smart value engineering, at no added cost.
Not a video that plays once — a hosted virtual tour that anyone can walk, from any device.
Martin, the committee, and every stakeholder after them open the same link and step inside the building before a brick is laid.
This deck stays lightweight on purpose: the tour lives online and is linked here, never embedded — so it opens instantly and the file stays easy to share.
Estate administration keeps running throughout construction.
Modular units with proper services connections cover the interim, so residents notice the new building — not a disruption.
Finalised design + BoQ + municipal approvals = apples-to-apples pricing.
This directly fixes why the first RFP drew no bids. Contractors price with confidence — fewer variations, lower cost-overrun risk once on site.
Architect, PM, QS and contractor all complete at close-out.
The digital backbone continues — as the estate’s facility-management platform. The as-built digital twin, asset register and defects history transfer to the HOA on handover.
One link — the full design development review. Share it with the Board, and later with every resident. The live project tracker travels with it.
