Your project capability — without the permanent overhead.
FortisCo works directly with clients and alongside established property development, construction, shopfitting, joinery and specialist contracting groups to deliver retail, hospitality, commercial and industrial projects across Southern Africa.
Our role is tailored to each appointment. We provide experienced project leadership, stakeholder coordination and commercial oversight without requiring clients or delivery partners to expand their permanent teams. Whether representing the end client or supporting a principal contractor, FortisCo works collaboratively while maintaining clear accountability, transparent reporting and disciplined project delivery.
Depending on the project, FortisCo can be appointed:
Appointed directly by the client as its project representative
As an outsourced or embedded project manager
As a specialist subconsultant to a development, construction or shopfitting company
To provide tenant coordination and installation management
As a delivery partner coordinating consultants, contractors, suppliers, programmes and client communication
We work hand-in-hand with design studios and PMO's
Coordination and delivery, end to end.

Specialist capability through collaboration.
FortisCo works with award-winning design studios and various established design studios, together with experienced shopfitting, joinery-manufacturing and specialist contracting teams.
This collaborative model allows us to assemble project-specific capability while giving clients a coordinated point of contact. FortisCo remains focused on project leadership, communication, programme management and delivery oversight, while the relevant specialists provide the required design, manufacturing and installation expertise.
Where FortisCo is not the principal contractor, the relevant specialist companies are appointed under the agreed project structure.
