Introduction

Dryden Projects is a well-established contracting company that

has provided turnkey building solutions to public and private

sector clients across the country for the past twenty years with an

exceptional service offering that is founded on values such as

honesty, reliability and quality.

We have earned a reputation as the trusted contractor for

building, construction, maintenance, plumbing and shop fitting

projects of all types. From new structures – commercial, industrial

and residential, to restorations of heritage buildings, we are in our

element on the building site, regardless of the nature or

requirements of a project.

Ownership Dryden Projects is a family owned and managed business founded

by Paul Dryden in 1993. Paul began his career as a trainee plumber

with a well-renowned plumbing company and qualified as a

plumber at the tender age of 21.

One year after obtaining his qualification, he joined another

company as a project manager, gaining vital experience over a 5-

year period in which he was involved with several large contracts –

including maintenance of the Military Hospital in Cape Town.

At age 27, through the company he was employed by, Paul was

responsible for all the plumbing work at the Military Hospital in

Pretoria. Shortly thereafter, he established Dryden Plumbing which

later grew to become Dryden Projects CC.

Our team Dryden projects currently employs a diverse team of over 600, among whom are

professionals and highly skilled artisans from various backgrounds and disciplines.

We are united by common values that enable us to combine our expertise

toward the common goal of developing exceptional structures.

Our Values As a family-owned business, Dryden Projects places a strong emphasis on family values, mutual support and

professionalism. We place a strong emphasis on quality and timely service provision at every level of our operations -

from management to site supervision, and place quality, reliability and honesty at the core of all we do. Structure

Dryden Projects is part of a group of specialised companies that include Dryden Building Supplies, Dryden Property

Development and Dryden Timber Creations, which is owned and managed by Paul’s son, Evan, who is also a part

owner of Dryden Projects CC. Gareth Dryden - Paul’s youngest son - is also a part owner of the entity and manages

various sides of both companies.

Generally, all employees within the Dryden group of companies are highly skilled in all aspects that pertain to building

and renovation work and are able to play a hands-on role in both companies. Because we have forged good

relationships with specialist consultants in all relevant fields to our building and construction projects, we are able to

effectively manage the requirements of these projects singlehandedly with the highest levels of quality and attention to

detail. The Dryden Group of Companies

What Makes Our Service Different

As a closely-knit family-managed company, our clients can be assured of the constant

supervision of their project by a company owner who is available at every stage to

provide constant feedback and to ensure that any issues that arise are dealt with

speedily.

We retain personnel in every part of a project so that its unique safety, quality and time

We own a full set of plant and equipment to meet the requirements of every project we are involved in: • Bob Cats • TLBs • Excavators • Trucks • Brick Crane Trucks • Breaking equipment • Tipper Trucks • Rollers • Compacters • Compressors • Hand tools • Core drilling equipment • Concrete cutting equipment

Our sister company – Dryden Timber Creations – has acquired specialised machinery for the restoration of delicate heritage timber details.

Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our employees is of vital

importance to us, which is why we go the extra mile to ensure that

our employees always have their safety wear on.

With hazards such as bricks falling from great heights and

poisonous fumes always present, the construction environment

poses constant potential health threats.

To reduce the chances of occupational injury, we provide safety

wear to all our employees and ensure that, through our site

managers, safety specifications are observed and met at all times.

The site manager conducts routine checks throughout the day to

make sure that employees are safe at all times and that there is

no risk posed to their health or safety.
