Building South African homes that stand out
Top-quality construction within budget and on time
Ashley Du Plooy directs and leads ADP Construction, a registered company founded in 2015. ADP Construction delivers high-quality residential and commercial builds.
ADP Construction is a fully registered and insured construction company. Led by Ashley Du Plooy, the company was founded after Du Plooy spent nearly a decade working in the industry and developing his hands-on approach. Today, he leads a dedicated team of registered artisans and skilled professionals, offering residential and commercial building services that prioritise quality, timelines and clear communication.
Du Plooy’s role is both strategic and on-site. He works closely with architects, clients and staff to ensure each build is completed to a high standard, within budget and aligned with the original vision. He is deeply committed to upskilling his team through consistent on-site training, building a culture of excellence and care. Staff are seen as family, and that approach flows through into the way the company treats its clients and partners.
For Du Plooy, the highlight of any project is handover day. Watching a family walk into their finished home, seeing a child light up as they explore their new space, brings home the meaning behind the work. These moments are a reminder that construction is not just about bricks and mortar, but also about delivering spaces where life unfolds. Du Plooy encourages anyone starting a build to check that their chosen contractor is registered with the NHBRC and BIBC, and ideally affiliated with the MBA. He recommends signing a formal contract before work begins, such as a JBCC or Master Builders agreement, and involving a quantity surveyor where possible to help keep the budget aligned. Before breaking ground, all plans must be approved by the council. ADP Construction is based in the South Peninsula and services the Southern Suburbs and Cape Town CBD.

Jukka Construction specialises in high-end residential construction, operating mainly in Johannesburg’s northern suburbs. Backed by over 19 years of industry experience, owner Ashley Svensson applies his intimate knowledge of construction practices and prices to every project he undertakes. Svensson believes open communication and a hands-on approach to project management alleviates the pressure architects face, while offering clients the peace of mind that things are on track. He is excited about the future of home construction in South Africa, with trends in the building industry steering towards more natural and reclaimed products being specified in the architect’s design.
When it comes to green building principles, Jukka Construction understands that the strategic design of each home and its specifications will determine which green principles can be effectively incorporated into each build. The company already includes energyefficient polystyrene blocks for slabs, contributing significantly to temperature control, while paying attention to elements like correct home orientation and low-e glass windows, which also influence the long-term environmental benefits of a property.
Building a new home is deeply personal. Jukka Construction not only gives clients a memorable experience, but also ensures their investment exceeds all they’d hoped for.
