Introduction

BT and Monareng Construction (BTMC) is a young, dynamic and independent emerging construction firm formed in year 2000 but started its operations in 2002.

The firm is controlled by Previously Disadvantaged Individuals.

The formation of BTMC was inspired by the calls for creating Black Businesses for the needs of a changed South Africa and the desire by its members to join the mass crusade for Africa's renewal.

BTMC offers a wide range of services in the fields of civil (water and sanitation), roads, and structures (concrete and building works).

BTMC is and always will be wholly owned by its members

Presently, the company is structured as follows:

Our directors have hands on experience and have been in the industry for more than 15 years involved in concreting, steel fixing, and general civil and building works. In order to ensure continued excellence, we have recently employed two senior foremen and a technician in training.

The staff make-up confirms that the firm is committed to development of members of the previously disadvantaged community. In considering the appointment of employees, the company will further adhere to the principles as set out in the Employment Equity Act.

It is the policy of BTMC to assist the previously disadvantaged persons in the following ways:

• By ensuring that they are given preference when employing new staff
• By identifying, appointing and training them to management levels at earliest possible time
• By continuing to implement special in house training for them to accelerate their advancement within the firm

We do not consider our biasness towards the previously disadvantaged individuals as reverse racism, but as one of the ways of redressing the imbalances of the past.
