SMME Inclusion in the Construction Sector

This practical guide aims to support economic transformation by providing strategies and tools that enable stakeholders such as government bodies, developers, and contractors to integrate SMMEs into construction projects more effectively. The guide outlines common barriers faced by SMMEs, including limited access to finance, capacity constraints, and exclusion from procurement processes, and offers practical solutions such as unbundling contracts, mentorship programmes, and targeted enterprise development. By aligning with policy frameworks like Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) and the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPFA), the guide helps create a more inclusive, competitive, and sustainable construction sector.
