Project prowess
Stefanutti Stocks certainly backs up these statements when considering the array of projects the firm currently has on its books, the company entrusted by clients to tackle numerous construction developments catering to many use cases.
For example, in Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland), it is engaged in the building of the country’s new international convention centre.
Delivered by a joint venture known as KISS – made up of Kukhanya Civil Engineering Contractors (20 percent), Inyatsi Construction (30 percent), Stefanutti Stocks (50 percent) – the project is a multifaceted facility valued at R2.5 billion.
The 40,000 square metre development is on track to be completed in time to host the 2020 African Union Summit, and will house an 1,800-seat theatre, an exhibition centre, conferencing chambers, a restaurant and a multi-purpose hall across its two basements, ground floor and first floor. In terms of materials, this equates to more than 26,000 cubic metres of concrete and 730 tonnes of structural steel.
The convention centre will be joined by a five-star hotel, valued at R2.5 billion and set to become the largest in the whole of Eswatini, as well as one of the most luxurious in the Southern Africa region.
Slated for a 2020 completion date, it will comprise 299 hotel rooms of varying size, with 283 concrete shell prefabricated bathrooms imported from Italy being installed in the standard rooms and junior suites. The facility will also come complete with an on-site gym, restaurants, bars, swimming pool and tennis courts.
