The Team
Garieth Hendricks
After establishing and operating several small businesses which were later successfully sold. Garieth decided to follow his passion in the construction industry. As a natural entrepreneur, armed with previous experience in the corporate environment, project co-ordination and client services management, he founded Benchmark Construct in 2006.
Starting out as a demolition, excavations and building material supply company, with a keen eye on construction projects, the company was born. As the company expanded our appetite for construction projects, with a fair amount of projects and self funded property developments, we made the change to a full construction outfit in 2010.
