Established by AO Swart Snr in 1973. Good business ethics and high moral values was part of the company’s working philosophy from the beginning.

This enabled the company to build long lasting work relationships with suppliers, clients and subcontractors. We believe this strong relationship gives us an edge when it comes to quality, pricing and performance compared to our competitors.

In the last decade we have experienced phenomenal organic growth to meet the demands of our established and new clients. A conservative approach towards financial management has enabled us to meet performance deadlines and has put us in a capital position ready for further expansion.

We are optimistic about future projects in South Africa as well as Southern Africa and are gearing ourselves towards expansion by forming strategic partnerships with other major players in the industry.

In 2013 Dalmar was awarded a contract in Zambia. The Contract entails the construction of the top structure and site works of the emigration facilities between Angola (Rivungo) and Zambia (Shangombo). This Contract enables us to create a footprint in Zambia and led to the establishment of Dalmar Construction Zambia Ltd. We view Zambia as a high potential growth market where we can make a long term positive contribution towards infrastructure development and skills transfer.
