Services
One partner from concept to handover
Clients need someone who closes the gap between their vision and what suppliers and sub-contractors deliver. We manage every step, so you get the right building, on time and on budget.
Preconstruction planning
Site assessment, budgets, programme and procurement planning, worked out with you before anything is built.
Architectural design
Innovative, sustainable prefab designs and engineering, tailored to how the building will actually be used.
Project management
One point of contact coordinating suppliers, logistics and site teams, with clear reporting until completion.
Manufacture & installation
Factory-built units delivered and assembled on site, including remote and logistically difficult locations.
How we work
Five stages, one team
Most of the work happens in the factory while the site is prepared, which is why modular projects finish faster than traditional builds.
Consult
We visit the site and agree the brief, budget and deadline.
Design
Layouts, engineering and approvals, signed off before production.
Manufacture
Units are built off-site under factory quality control.
Deliver & install
Transport, crane lift and assembly on prepared foundations.
Handover
Final inspection, snag list closed and the keys handed over.

About Eleven
Closing the gap between client and contractor
Eleven (Pty) Ltd was founded on a simple observation: clients need one integrated partner to navigate the complexities of construction and the modular industry.
We bring every step together, from design and engineering to procurement, manufacturing and installation. That lets us deliver complex, logistically difficult turnkey projects, from first concept to final handover.
Led by experience
Eleven's operations are led by Charles Gover, an engineering and EPCM executive with more than 40 years in engineering, construction, facilities management and modular infrastructure across Southern, East and West Africa. Before Eleven, he ran modular accommodation projects in Guinea and Mali for Kwikspace Modular Buildings, set up its Conakry regional office and led teams of up to 180 people. Earlier, he held senior engineering and facilities roles across Compass Group's African operations.
That experience shapes how we work: careful planning for remote sites and difficult logistics, strict health and safety standards, and one accountable point of contact from concept to handover.
