ABOUT WBHO

The history of the WBHO group dates back to 1970 when John Wilson and Brian Holmes formed the company Wilson-Holmes (Pty) Ltd. In 1983, the company changed its name to Wilson Bayly Holmes (Pty) Limited, as the result of a merger, but it wasn’t until the year 1994 that the company finally changed to WBHO Construction as the result of yet another merger.

WBHO is now one of the biggest construction companies across Southern Africa. The group offers a full range of construction activities, of which they divide into 3 major groups – Roads and Earthworks, Civil Engineering and Building Construction.
