Executive Summary

Leadership comprises of a Millwright and Industrial Electrician of which both have a red seal with distinction (5 years apprenticeship in the most intensive engineering environments)
What this means, is our capabilities which have enabled us to do variety of Engineering Services:

  • Employment: Workmanship of top quality and accuracy would be our fundamental policy as regard to First Time Right.
  • Health & Safety: Comply to all requirements of clients, based on Prequal management system
  • Training: It has come to our attention, regarding labour shortages, that there is a shortfall in “proper” training and lack of apprenticeship required for NZ. DAABco will embark on changing this, and for that requires both cliental and NZQA approval, which we hope to accomplish. Attendance qualification will not suffice.
  • Growth: To achieve would require absolute cliental satisfaction, such as not only services rendered but as a reference of excellence.
  • Clientele: Willingness to contract to any firm that requires excellence relating to services offered. Long term contracts would be a benefit to all, however Build Work, Reactive, Maintenance and Standby would be what DAABco envisaged.

Humble Beginnings

We started working in the telecommunication electrical industry in 1997, we ventured into places where no other contractor would dare, and completed work in record time with minimal loss

We installed over 1000 units of phone boxes in the heart of one of the most dangerous places in South Africa, and we done it in three months, amazing achievement even by todays standard.

This has paved the way for our devotion to our work in the telecommunication industry and in Industrial Electricity.
