Introduction to the GIBB Group of Companies

Engineering is the backbone and the driving force of change on the fastest growing continent on the planet. GIBB is at the forefront of helping Africa succeed. We are a proudly 73.06% black-owned multidisciplinary engineering company with a wide geographical footprint, which make us an agile African infrastructure solutions provider. Since GIBB's inception in 1956 (68 years) we have been able to remain one of the leading providers of infrastructure planning, design and delivery in South Africa. In an effort to defend our position in the industry, GIBB has joined forces with companies to enhance its service offerings, namely urban and rural planning, environmental expertise and restructured the GIBB Group to form subsidiary companies, such as SVA International (Architectural).

GIBB, as a proud South African Corporation, we are deeply committed to future growth, developing industry skills, empowerment, social investment and poverty elimination. We are one team, with one purpose "WE CHANGE LIVES". To that end, GIBB is committed to supporting efforts aimed at building an inclusive South African economy by supporting the YES Programme.
