A HEARTFELT THANK YOU:
REFLECTING ON THE 2026 BUILT ENVIRONMENT DIALOGUE
The Association of Arbitrators (Southern Africa) NPC extends its warmest gratitude to the Association of South African Quantity Surveyors (ASAQS) for hosting the highly successful, inaugural Built Environment Dialogue and Presidential Gala Dinner on 24 July 2026 at the Premier Hotel Midrand.
As a proud event partner and sponsor, we are thrilled to have supported critical conversations surrounding ‘The South African Economy and its Impact on Infrastructure Delivery‘. The afternoon session brought essential focus to the economic constraints altering modern infrastructure and highlighted the urgency of building resilient contracting frameworks.
Celebrating Our Members on the Main Stage
We would like to give a special mention and thank you to our esteemed Association members who took to the stage to offer their insights into the ultimate fitness of current contract administration frameworks:
- Mr Peter Barnard, AAArb (Cox Yeats);
- Mr Chris Campbell, AAArb (CESA);
- Ms Zandile Ndlovu, FAArb (OT & Associates);
- Mr Lucky Nemakonde, FAArb (Mafulufulu);
- Mrs Tammy Nyide, AAArb (JBCC).
While these professionals participated in their personal capacities, their presence beautifully demonstrated the deep technical expertise, dispute resolution skill, and governance talent housed within our membership. They truly represented the standard of professional excellence our organisation champions.
Special Recognition
The Association is especially thankful to, Mr Gareth Ahier, our Director and Fellow (FAArb) who represented the Association at this premier event.
Strengthening Industry Ties
As construction projects grow more complex, the intersection of contract administration, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), and economic agility becomes vital. Partnering with ASAQS allows us to continue re-inforcing best practices and accountability across Southern Africa’s built environment sector:[1]
Thank you once again to the organisers, the exceptional panellists, and everyone who attended and made this event a resounding success. We look forward to future collaborations that elevate our industry.
