Advanced Engineering Solutions

CBM Africa is a full-service consulting engineering firm specialising in structural and civil engineering and project management.
We cater to a diverse clientele, including property owners, developers, corporates and the public sector.
We have successfully guided hundreds of projects through design, approval, and construction. Our approach is informed and supported by the strong relationships we’ve forged with public and private clients, regulators, and community stakeholders.
We are well known for providing superior value to our clients with our exceptional team, focus on client service, high-quality work, and innovative solutions.

Civil Engineering Services

Civil engineers shape the world around us with their expertise and ingenuity. They design, construct, and maintain the essential framework of modern society, from roads and bridges to airports and water treatment facilities. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of engineering principles, civil engineers ensure that our communities function smoothly and safely.
We follow a collaborative approach that puts your needs first. From the initial concept to the final touches, we're by your side every step of the way, ensuring that your project not only meets but exceeds your expectations.

The discipline of Civil Engineering encompasses a comprehensive understanding of a property's environmental constraints, project impact, and relevant regulations to determine the feasibility of development projects. We collaborate with stakeholders, consultants, contractors, and government agencies to develop site layouts that address environmental considerations, zoning regulations, stormwater management, and topographical challenges.

Civil engineers are problem solvers, and with CBM you gain a trusted partner who will embrace your vision and work closely with you to ensure a successful project outcome. You can rely on our team to leverage cutting-edge technology and innovative techniques to optimise efficiency, control expenses and minimise environmental impact.

Structural Engineering Services

Just as civil engineering shapes the world around us, structural engineering designs concern the frameworks and load bearing elements which give structures their shape and form. This highly specialised area of engineering ensures that a planned structure will be strong enough to carry its intended load, making it a critical element to many civil engineering projects.
CBM offers a full range of structural engineering services and expertise, from conceptual design through administration and construction project management. Our team collaborates with designers, planners and other engineers to provide our clients with integrated solutions on projects of all types.
Structural engineers are responsible for making sure that the structures we use in our daily lives, like bridges and buildings, are safe, stable and can withstand the applied load.
They do this by applying their technical knowledge to specify different types of construction materials in various shapes, geometries and design structures that can withstand the pressures and stresses of their environment such as applied live loads, self-weight, wind loads and earthquake loading.

Our structural services extend from new buildings to existing buildings, design-build projects, structural investigations and durability assessments, and the variety of innovative engineering support to determine the structural impact to your site and property. Our technical specialties and services are extended to that of material proficiency, knowledge of building types, and expert evaluation and analysis. Let us help you understand your options based on your budget, timeline, and goals.

Structural Analysis and Design

Streamlined Engineering with Advanced 3D Modeling

At CBM, we leverage cutting-edge structural analysis software to transform 2D drawings and site data into highly accurate models for the design and analysis of complex steel and concrete structures. This allows us to deliver precise results in a fraction of the time. Our skilled CAD team then extracts this data to create a comprehensive 3D advanced steel model, seamlessly integrating it with mechanical, electrical, and fire protection systems.
These detailed models enable our clients to visualise the finished structure, ensuring that our multi­disciplinary team can plan, design, and conduct clash detection efficiently with both new and existing components. The software also facilitates the creation of accurate and detailed fabrication and assembly drawings for steel manufacturing.
This cradle-to-grave system fosters seamless collaboration, resulting in more economical project completion. Thanks to our team’s extensive experience with Prokon and Advanced Steel, we can incorporate all technical design specifications and client feedback into a unified graphical solution. From initial concept to final delivery, our approach ensures practical visualisation and simplifies the management of complex, integrated systems.
