Business Dynamics and Challenges
Business Activities:
Construction
Challenges/Needs:
Perls Construction has successfully undertaken various building, road, and fencing projects; however, one of the key challenges the company faces is limited access to modern construction equipment. The business currently relies on hiring or leasing machinery, which increases project costs and sometimes causes delays in delivery timelines.
The lack of owned equipment such as concrete mixers, and scaffold also restricts the company’s capacity to take on larger projects and compete effectively with more established construction firms.
Intervention Insights and Results
Intervention Details:
Following the provision of construction equipment through Asset Assist, Perls Construction was able to significantly expand its operational capacity. As a direct result of this support, the company successfully secured a major contract to participate in the construction of Segonyana Shopping Mall in Kuruman.
This achievement not only demonstrates Perls Construction’s enhanced capability and competitiveness but also highlights the positive impact of targeted support in enabling black-owned businesses to access larger-scale projects and contribute meaningfully to local economic development.
