Community & Agricultural Infrastructure

Lima's Infrastructure division delivers development projects that improve living standards in urban and rural communities. We handle engineering planning, costing, design and building, and work hand in hand with our other divisions so communities get one joined-up service.

We build with local skills, local talent and local suppliers on every project.

Agriculture

In support of our agricultural division, Lima builds poultry and pig houses, livestock handling facilities, irrigation schemes, fencing and warehouses. Each facility is designed to work well and keep costs down.

Housing

Lima has completed over 2 500 low-cost housing units valued at R400 million and won two National OR Tambo Awards for best housing project. Because we plan with communities and build with local skills, we understand what people's housing really means.

Water and Sanitation

Water and sanitation work improves daily life for the people who use it and has a big effect on health. We have put a lot into the right designs, materials and building methods.

Early Childhood Development Centres

With the Department of Social Development we designed a cost-effective ECD centre that meets departmental accreditation and national building regulations, at a much lower cost. The design has been accepted by the authorities and the Department of Basic Education.

Since then Lima has built or refurbished 300 ECD centres in six provinces, giving better facilities to over 25 000 children. We use community labour and local contractors, so our building work also creates jobs and skills in the communities we support.
