About Kalode

Kalode Construction is a privately owned construction business based in Johannesburg and working throughout South Africa as well as Botswana and Namibia. Having been in business since 1995, we are proud of our reputation for producing top quality workmanship on time and within budget.

The company started by specializing in the complete turnkey design, supply and installation of concrete block retaining walls. This is still the core of our business; however, we have expanded into other fields such as:

● Embankment protection
● Precast concrete seating
● Attenuation ponds

Safety

Kalode Construction adheres to the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Internal and contractor compliance is managed through documented work policies and procedures, with the application thereof being managed through routine audits and inspections. Our appointed safety management consultants – 911 Safety – ensure this.
