Arup

What separates engineering practices that understand a project's real constraints from those that deliver designs disconnected from site conditions, budget, or local building authority expectations comes down to experience and local knowledge. Arup brings international practice standards into a Cape Town context—water and infrastructure challenges, seismic considerations in the Western Cape, the complexity of mixed-use and heritage-adjacent projects. The difference between a design that works on paper and one that builds on time and to cost often comes down to having engineers who've worked through the actual problems Cape Town projects face, from foundation conditions to the practical side of sourcing materials in South Africa.
