VAD Group plans, builds and delivers industrial, commercial, institutional and residential projects across KwaZulu-Natal — backed by a father-and-son legacy that began on the tools in 1979.
Broad-based black economic empowerment opens meaningful pathways into the mainstream construction economy. VAD Construction is presently ranked at the highest attainable level.
Graded by the Construction Industry Development Board to tender for the highest value of work our class permits.
VAD Construction delivers the build. VAD Group Development shapes the land. Together they carry a single family name through every phase of a project's life.
In 1979, Deepak Valjee became the first in his community to earn a master craftsman's accreditation in Olifantsfontein — a breakthrough in an industry that shut most doors like his. That legacy now runs through his son, Amith Valjee, who founded VAD Group to carry the craft further: quality, innovation and community at the centre of every build.
The company operates through two entities — VAD Construction, delivering commercial, institutional, industrial and residential work, and VAD Group Development, shaping multi-residential communities such as Rewa Estate in greater Durban.
Amith Valjee founded VAD Group with a commitment to quality, innovation and community engagement. He's currently pursuing a PhD in Property Development and Management Practices at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, and leads a team drawing on a combined 55 years of construction experience across both older and newer generations of the industry.
That mix of grounded craft and forward planning is what keeps VAD Group's collaborative approach — and its reputation as a trusted regional partner — intact from tender to handover.
Six disciplines, one contractor. Hover a sheet to see it come off the drafting table.
Warehousing, plants and logistics facilities engineered for heavy use and fast turnaround.
Offices, retail and mixed-use developments built to perform for tenants and owners alike.
Schools, places of worship and community facilities delivered with care and compliance.
Land into livable communities — VAD Group Development's own residential estates.
Family homes and multi-unit residences built to last, finished to be lived in.
Remedial works, upgrades and full renovations — from leak repairs to full re-fits.
We assess the brief, the ground and the budget, then lock a plan that CIDB compliance and your timeline can both live with.
Our combined 55 years of on-site experience runs the build — safety-led, schedule-driven, quality-checked at every stage.
Handover is not the finish line. We stand behind remedial work and stay reachable long after the scaffolding comes down.
They repaired a water leak and sealed a 170m² balcony, along with plastering and painting — professional work, start to finish. Highly recommended for medium to large projects.
VAD Construction brought the same discipline to our site as any established contractor twice their size — clear communication, real accountability, and a finish we were proud to hand over.
Our foundation has worked with VAD Group on several community projects. Their commitment to quality never wavers, and neither does their commitment to the people the buildings are for.
