Black-owned, -managed and -controlled, Design Applications has developed a well-earned reputation for reliability and an unswerving accent on service. This has ensured that this SME enjoys the same status and recognition as larger players in South Africa’s civil construction industry. Design Applications has made a significant contribution to South Africa’s transforming economy, and has played a role in the country’s development through the provision of social and commercial infrastructure.

Established as a painting and deco specialist by Vincenzo Fiorentino, Design Applications has undergone a tremendous evolution since Thabo Moumakwe became the sole shareholder in 2014. Having gleaned experience as JSE-listed companies, Mr Moumakwe realised the potential of creating separate divisions for building and civil construction. Design Applications took the next step towards its current iteration when Petunia Mashaba became a 15% shareholder two years later, enhancing the organisation’s already impressive BBBEEE credentials.

Design Applications stands out as a leading black-owned, -controlled and -managed construction company. Having evolved significantly since its inception as a specialist painting and deco consultancy in 1996, the company has lent its expertise to projects as diverse as building and alterations, construction of roads, pipeline and bridge construction, project management, bulk earthworks and concrete works, led always by our values: professionalism, enthusiasm, commitment, teamwork and discipline.
