Senyolo and Associates cc trading as Thabo Senyolo and Partners TSP is a quantity surveying and project management company. As a pioneering first registered African initiated quantity surveying company in South Africa, the company faced formidable obstacles in Apartheid South Africa during its formative stages in 1986. It started by being part of Multidimensional Associates, a pioneering Black multi-disciplinary practice which included an architect, an engineer and an actuarial scientist
At the time it was felt it would be more feasible to link up and form a firm of associated built-environment professionals with the dictum, ‘unity is strength.’ Not unexpectedly, the racist underpinnings of the minority regime stifled the progress of the company. However, with the assistance of 'Bantustan leaders such as Enos Mabuza, we were able to weather the political storm. Notably, in 1987, Multidimensional Associates were the appointed consultants for the well-known iconic Mandela House in Orlando West, Soweto, Johannesburg
In 1989, however, TSP flapped its wings and left the nest to become a wholly independent quantity surveying company. The practice, which at one stage had offices in Johannesburg, Mpumalanga, Mafikeng and Port Elizabeth, rendered services in a wide variety of projects some of which were enormous joint-venture undertakings. Over the years the practice has built a reputation for professional excellence
