28. PRESIDENTIAL TOUR 2013 INDUSTRY UPDATE - Underdeveloped INFRASTRUTURE DEVELOPMENT – Partially developed WHAT DO WE UNDERSTAND – Underdeveloped STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES AND KEY DRIVERS – Done! MILESTONE ACHIEVEMENT” – to be listed on a slide as follows: Successful hosting of the ICEC Congress - Done Reinstatement of ASAQS as voluntary body of council Review of the bylaws and standard system Representation to the Construction Sector University of Natal Business Planning in November 2012 MOU WITH NHBRC Feature article to Engineering News and Architect Magazine CCN Update FUTURE QS OPPORTUNITIES - the green factory – how much of it do we really know!

29. INDUSTRY INSIGHT Construction Growth VS the rest of SA Economy: Source SARB & BER Construction Industry in general performed reasonably well until the forth quarter of 2012 dropping by 0.2% and overall recording a Year on Year growth of 2.5% for the period of 2012, a noticeable drop as compared to the previous years. Fixed investment growth slightly accelerated in 2012 but still performed poorly when compared to an average of approx. 7.5% maintained from 2002 up to 2012 and recorded a real gross fixed capital formation (private business enterprises, public corporations, general government) of approx. 5.7% (almost similar to the GDP record of 5.8%): source SARB. Albeit such activity, investment in transport equipment surged with a mild recovery in building and construction however private building sector remains under pressure for a number of reasons: Tight lending criteria by the financial institutions The commercial risk by the developers Willingness to negotiate and commit to long leases by the Nationals and/or Anchor Tenants

30. INDUSTRY INSIGHT Truth be told, the public sector in the past period somehow remained supportive of the construction sector as a whole with a reported BER “Civil confidence index” gradually increasing above the high of 40% mark and evidently from a “Residential business confidence” recording an approx. low of 32% coupled with a “Non residential business confidence” which recorded an all time low of approx. 20%. In the language that we all understand, this presents a further tightening period for the construction companies profit margins and a very competitive time for the rest of the market, equally so with our service offering hence these ridiculous discounts recorded. If the building activity doesn't improve at an expected rate, Growth in this sector will remain under pressure Competitions will remain stiff for both services and construction companies

31. INFRASTRUCTURE GROWTH Still a target market? • POLITICAL LANDSCAPE • Service delivery protest • Mangaung Policy Conference • 2014 Elections • Future work procurement - • PRASA – How many of you are in this space??????? • TRANSNET - How many of you are in this space ?????? • ESKOM – How many of you are in this space?????? • SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE – School, Dams, Hospitals – How many of you are in this space ????????

32. INFRASTRUCTURE GROWTH – IN BRIEF!!! • Budgeted spending for public-sector infrastructure totals R827 billion over the next three years. A much larger set of projects is under consideration over the longer term. • Decisions on which projects to implement will be guided by the National Development Plan (NDP), accompanied by thorough assessments of feasibility and value for money. • The first of two new large, coal-fired power plants will begin producing electricity in 2014, significantly easing the country’s power constraints. • Transnet’s pipeline, rail and port investments will gain further impetus in 2013. • Construction and upgrading of dams, water transfer schemes, schools, hospitals, clinics and housing are under way. Government has a range of initiatives in place to address identified shortcomings in infrastructure planning and project management.

33. INFRASTRUCTURE GROWTH Still a target market? 22.86% 2.69% 3.15% 8.16% 92% spend

34. NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN “NDP” • Opening the path to stronger economic growth requires that identified barriers to growth be addressed. The NDP emphasises the importance of: • Rebuilding confidence and encouraging private investment through establishing policy and regulatory certainty, maintaining fiscal credibility and demonstrating effective public service delivery. • Addressing the country’s distorted spatial legacy through urban planning and public transport policies that reduce the cost and time of travel to work, and improve the quality of life by lowering living costs. • Lowering the costs of doing business to improve competitiveness, including actions to reduce regulatory burdens, and promote entrepreneurship and small business. • Strong regional growth, with opportunities for firms with expertise in mining, construction, retail and finance, and manufactured exports. • Removing bottlenecks in economic and social infrastructure. • Implementing labour activation policies that get young people into employment and onto career paths

35. WHAT DO WE REALLY UNDERSTAND ABOUT OUR BUSINESS? • Is this business growing, have we set realistic targets for growth and implemented in past 3 - 4 Years? • Is our service offering still relevant to our existing clientele or we are just coasting along our past glory which will land us to an untimely death - statistic ? Do we understand the economic and political landscape within which we procure our work ? Is our service offering still relevant to our existing clientele or we are simple coasting along our past glory which will land us to an untimely death? Are we visible and well disposed to all sectors of our economy i.e. Engineering and Infrastructure projects? • Does our back of house “systems and procedures” still adequate to support the business and service offering • What is the role that should be played, if at all required, by retired practitioners in assisting with validation of existing skill set whilst we pursue growth and diversification of service offering?

36. THE CHALLENGE THAT LIES AHEAD • SA Rating by International Rating Agency • Uncertainty about the financing of private and public projects • Unchallenged corruption and fraud and political interference in awarding tenders) • Communication barriers • Competitions Commission and Government’s reluctance in paying gazetted Fees • Matrix of responsibility amongst different built environment professions in project delivery • Continued political instability • Colonial pact • Quality of basic education “Sister Engie Motsheka” • Education and training post tertiary education • Poor Mentorship in PrQS Firms • QS’s willing to join the state organs • Transfer of skills and mutual recognition of transformation • Tender rigging and the bureaucracy in supply chain management • Lack of emphasis on local procurement • Standardization of form of contract • Inconsistency with procurement of services contracts and more emphasis on “price” instead of “functionality” • Late payment which impact negatively on cash flow • Poor design and specification

37. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES & KEY DRIVERS

43. MILESTONE ACHIEVEMENT 2012/13 • Successful hosting of the ICEC Congress • Reinstatement of ASAQS as voluntary body of council • Review of the bylaws and standard system • Representation to the Construction Sector • Participation with CBE and Construction SETA in resuscitating the QS Programme at the University of KwaZulu Natal • Business Strategy Planning in November 2012 • Signing MOU With NHBRC • On going articles to Engineering News and Architect & Specification Magazine

44. QS FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES • Review of JBCC for Turn Key Contract • Closer ties with the Municipal Engineering Council • Cross Boarder “Rest of Africa” Infrastructure Programmes • Diversification of the core QS service • Green Building Technology “Lets be the first to be consulted”!!! • Closer ties with National Treasury Department • Development finance institutions are expected to maintain financial sustainability, and care has to be taken to balance sustainable lending and non-revenue-generating activities. Over the next three years, these institutions will concentrate on financing infrastructure and industrial development, low-cost housing, rural development and land reform, small business growth and black economic empowerment enterprises, and regional development. • Government's debt management strategies will ensure that the borrowing requirement is financed at the lowest possible cost, while minimising repayment risk. The strategy complements the fiscal guidelines, which emphasise long-term debt sustainability. Government will continue to support state-owned companies and, through prudent financial oversight, ensure that they remain financially sound and contribute to the rollout of economic infrastructure.
