Vip Steel Construction Has Been Erecting Steel Structures For Farmers For Years And Understands The Needs Of Farms Well. Photos: Provided

VIP Steel Construction has been erecting steel structures for farmers for years and understands the needs of farms well. PHOTOS: PROVIDED

For VIP Steel Construction, farmers’ progress is very important. Therefore, it offers the best solutions that meet the needs of farms. South African farmers are known for being proud of their farming and for most of them it is not only about what they produce but also how professionally their business is displayed and operated. 

A big part of this includes having quality structures on the farm that meet their needs and are functional and durable. With more than 8 000 of their steel structures erected on farms and business premises nationwide, it is no surprise that many farmers call on VIP Steel Construction for the erection of such structures. Workshops, barns and pig and chicken houses are only some examples of structures that highlight VIP Steel Construction’s involvement in the farming community. 

Glowing testimonials

The company primarily concentrates on helping farmers to grow their businesses. About 90% of the sheds that they build are for farmers and they are impressed with the affordability and good quality. “VIP Steel Construction never disappoints. Their service is fast and friendly and it’s a pleasure to do business with them,” says Frik van Sittert, from Frik van Sittert Farming near Hartbeesfontein, who has used the company’s services for years. 

Hennie Viljoen from Simbithi Project says his company has projects all over South Africa. When it comes to steel and construction knowledge, he always calls on VIP Steel Construction. He is also full of praise for their affordable prices and quality products. VIP Steel Construction’s best testimonial, however, comes from the successful implementation of a project, such as the construction of a new shed at Zoncop farms at Smithfield last year. The team from VIP Steel Construction replaced a dilapidated brick shed with a modern and durable steel structure that will serve the farm for many years to come. 

At the helm

This service delivery and quality of work stem from years of experience and knowledge of local needs. VIP Steel Construction has been around for 25 years and is proudly South African. This family business was started in 1998 by Piet Bezuidenhout. Piet’s son, Jan Bezuidenhout, and daughter, Jumarie Ernsting, have also been directors at the business for more than 20 years. Jan is involved with operational and project management and Jumarie with operational management and finance. They concentrate on giving customers the best possible advice and service and ensuring that each customer and their needs receive full attention. 

Wide range of affordable products

Because VIP Steel Construction deals in the steel and building industry, the company is in the ideal position to purchase steel in bulk and sell it to the public at affordable prices. With its factory and business situated in Tarlton outside Krugersdorp, it is easy to do business with farmers all over South Africa from this central location. Its structures have also been exported across national borders. 

These Steel Structures Serve For Many Years  
This is a sturdy, durable and functional structure for a farmer.

  • Cromadek roofing sheets
