Company History

...epitomises a truly South African success story...

With roots going back nearly 40 years in the South African construction arena, Detcon Projects came into being in 2013, to capitalise on the infrastructure opportunities in the country. Its foundations were in Tuckers Construction, founded in 1978 by Will Tucker, undertaking renovations, alterations, and additions in the Durban area. In 2005, Craig joined the company as a trainee, armed with a degree in construction management, and a determination to build a construction company that would be recognised in the sector for high levels of quality and integrity.

This drive and passion led to the formation of Tuckers Renovate 2008, evolving over time into a project management and property development company. It was clear, though, that opportunities for a construction company focused on excellence existed outside of the Tucker group, and to reap the benefts of these, Detcon Projects was formed

Detcon Projects now epitomises a truly South African success story with over 20 years in the construction industry, a Level 5GB CIDB grading and is a Level 1 BBBEE Contributor. Detcon is also 100% black owned and controlled with a management team with over 100 years collective experience in the construction industry.
