About

Welcome to the Ohlhorst Group

Modern methods of construction

Since inception in the 1940s, Ohlhorst’s focus has been on quality workmanship and developing lasting, ethical relationships with clients, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers. We ensure a top quality finish backed by professional service.

Our stable company history provides peace of mind in the knowledge that warranty on materials and installation will be honoured. This is particularly important in high impact installations requiring extended backup plans and guarantees on workmanship.

Over the years our field of expertise has expanded from plastering and tiling, into tile supply, stone beneficiation, lightweight building solutions, and modular construction.

We operate in the SADC region primarily as well as other African countries:

  • Namibia
  • Botswana
  • Zambia
  • Zimbabwe
  • Malawi
  • Mozambique

We will also welcome work in other African countries.
