Kitchens, aluminium, construction, paving, electrical, tar surfacing, rubble removal and flooring — delivered by our own crews across the Western Cape and Gauteng. Free site assessment. Firm written quote. No obligation.
iLifa Holdings is a building and civil engineering contractor based in Airport Industria, Cape Town. We work as a general construction contractor on new builds, additions and renovations, and as a civil contractor on trenching, stormwater, paving, kerbing and tar reinstatement for municipalities, developers, body corporates and private clients across the Western Cape.
Most jobs need a trench, a cable, a surface and a finish — and most clients end up chasing four contractors, four quotes and four sets of excuses. We keep it in house: our own civils crews, electrical jointers, aluminium installers and joinery teams, under one project manager and one contract. One number to call when something needs sorting.
Every one of these is delivered by iLifa crews — we don’t broker work out and we don’t sub-let. Tap any discipline for the detail, then call us for a free assessment.
Custom kitchens, built-in cupboards, media and TV feature walls, vanities and shopfitting — designed, manufactured and installed by our own joinery team.

Our cable pulling fleet includes hauling winches, cable trailers, drum stands, rollers and conduit guides for any location, handling drums up to 45 ton. Two independently controlled caterpillar winches take cable up to 150 mm diameter and push runs to 450 metres, including trefoil install.
We review your plans up front to flag anything in the conduit route that would affect the install — before the drum arrives on site.

Most contractors ask you to describe what you want. We’d rather you showed us. The Design Studio lets you set the real sizes, choose the actual finishes, and watch your job drawn to scale as you change it — a kitchen plan, a paving pattern, a window elevation, a trench section.
Drag the handles to resize. Start from a preset if it’s a standard size. Add as many items as your job needs to My project, then request one quote for the lot. It costs nothing and takes a few minutes.
Kitchens in four layouts, built-in cupboards, bathroom vanities, TV and media walls, and flooring across seven products and four laying patterns.
Windows with the opening sash marked, sliding, stacking and folding doors, frameless showers and balustrades — sized, glazed and colour matched.
Paving drawn in real herringbone, stretcher or basket weave, tar surfacing with bay marking, boundary walls laid course by course, and roof sheeting.
Rubble removal priced by the load from the size of the pile, and cable trenching drawn as a proper section with bedding, cover slabs and tape.
Drag, tap and type. Presets cover the standard sizes if you’d rather not measure yet.
Add every part of the job — kitchen, flooring, cupboards, paving — into one list.
The full specification comes to us with your number and the best time to call.
Within one working day, to talk it through and arrange a free site measure.
Quantities are worked out as you go — square metres, waste allowance, packs, cabinet counts, brick counts, tonnage. You walk into the conversation knowing the scale of what you’re asking for.
A specification beats a phone call every time. When we already know the sizes, the finish and the pattern, the site visit confirms rather than discovers — and the price comes back faster and firmer.
Design the kitchen, the flooring and the paving in one project and we quote the lot. Our own crews do all of it, so there’s one price, one programme and one number to call.
Cement, asbestos-free fibre cement sheeting, bricks, zinc roof sheeting and paving — 73 products across the five ranges we move in volume. Build a list, send it through, and we come back with a firm written quote and a delivery slot. There’s a coverage calculator in there too, for working out how much you actually need.
Cabinet makers and installers for kitchens, cupboards, media walls and shopfitting.
Measuring, manufacture and installation teams for windows, doors, shopfronts and balustrades.
Site foremen, plant operators, paving and kerbing crews across municipal and private contracts.
Authorised LV live jointers, HV jointers and winch operators, trained per network.
Yes. iLifa Holdings is CIDB registered and a Level 1 BBBEE contributor, working from our yard at 10 Concorde Crescent, Airport Industria. We hold public liability cover on every contract and carry a full safety file, which is why we are able to work for municipalities and body corporates as well as private clients.
The whole metro and most of the Western Cape. Airport Industria sits roughly half an hour from the Northern Suburbs, the Southern Suburbs, the Atlantic Seaboard and the West Coast, and about forty minutes from Somerset West and Stellenbosch. We also travel to Gauteng for contract work.
Both, and that is the point of us. The civils side covers trenching, cable hauling, stormwater, manholes, paving, kerbing, tar surfacing and reinstatement. The building side covers new builds, additions, alterations, kitchens, aluminium, flooring and finishing. Most contractors do one or the other and sub-let the rest.
It depends entirely on the work, which is why we do not publish rates. What we will do is come out free of charge, measure properly and give you a firm written quotation with the scope spelled out. If you would like an idea of the scale first, the Design Studio on this site works out quantities for you in a few minutes.
We normally get to site within two to three working days of your enquiry and the written quotation follows within a few days of that. Urgent work — a burst, a collapse, a deadline — we will move on the same day where we can.
Regularly. Complex roads, parking areas, boundary walls, paving and phased resurfacing are a large part of what we do. We are happy to present a quotation at a trustee meeting and to phase the work so residents keep access throughout.
Both. A single driveway or one built-in cupboard is worth our time, and so is a 400 metre trench. Smaller jobs carry a proportionally higher share of our fixed costs, so we will always tell you honestly if a job is too small to price well.
Yes. We carry cement, bricks, asbestos-free fibre cement sheeting, zinc roof sheeting and paving at trade rates through our materials shop. On an iLifa contract, materials bill straight to the job rather than you sourcing them separately.
For additions and structural alterations we will tell you at the site assessment what needs approval, and we can arrange the draughting and submission for you. We will not start structural work that should have approved plans behind it.
Our own crews. We employ our civils teams, electrical jointers, aluminium installers and joiners directly rather than brokering the work out. That is what lets us give one price, one programme and one point of accountability.
Our yard is in Airport Industria, which puts most of the metro within half an hour. We work the whole Western Cape and travel to Gauteng for contract work. These are the areas we are in most weeks:
Not on the list? Ask anyway. If the job is the right size we will travel for it, and for contract work we go wherever the contract is.
