Representing the civil engineering profession

From an original membership of just 82 in 1903, which represented a significant portion of the civil engineering profession at the time, SAICE has remained the voice of civil engineering practitioners.

In the current difficult climate, SAICE has seen a slight increase in our membership totals for the first time since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. At the end of 2021,

SAICE had a total of 15 468 members of which 9 795 members were in good standing. By the end of 2022, the total was 16 003 members of which 7 913 members were in good standing.

Growing Forward

Our focus remains on growing our membership in all categories by driving the goals set out in SAICE’s Growing Forward strategy, advancing technical knowledge and improving the practice and status of the civil engineering profession in South Africa.

Over the past year we have been collaboratively working on improving our members’ experience through the development of an automated customer relationship management (CRM) system. This system will form the basis of SAICE’s new membership platform which will be launched soon. Our vision is to achieve a better user experience and ensure that our digital platform and technology infrastructure are secure and free of known vulnerabilities.
