We are thrilled to announce the addition of Calvin van der Merwe as the Business Development Manager for Africa at FRAMECAD.
His professional journey started as a Junior Quantity Surveyor in a construction company and over time, transitioned to a more commercial role overseeing bid offices and contract administration. For the past 7 years, he has thrived in sales, leveraging his diverse background to offer clients exemplary advice and service.
Calvin has been assigned the task of spearheading growth in the Africa region for FRAMECAD, with the overarching goal of promoting cold-formed steel framing throughout this expansive area. The African market showcases a diverse landscape, yet within this diversity lies a shared aspiration: to construct better homes that uplift the quality of life for all Africans. He firmly believes that FRAMECAD can significantly contribute to addressing this challenge within the region.
His responsibilities entail engaging with the African market, fostering relationships with key stakeholders, and advocating for the adoption of light-steel construction methods. Through education and networking efforts, he aims to cultivate long-term success stories that showcase the benefits of these innovative construction techniques.
Henry Haddad, Regional Manager EMEA in Dubai said, "We are committed to the African market by adding more resources and with Calvin's experience our clients will be able to fully capitalize on FRAMECAD's value proposition and service offerings."
Calvin will be attending this year's Big 5 Construct South Africa trade show in June. This is a pivotal event for the construction sector, drawing over 8,500 participants over the three days and provides the opportunity for companies, both local and international, to showcase their newest products and innovations.
FRAMECAD has established itself as the global leader in revolutionizing end-to-end steel frame design and manufacturing systems. This innovative system empowers the construction sector to streamline the mass production of cold-formed steel-framed buildings with unparalleled precision and accuracy. The extensive FRAMECAD network operates in 110 countries worldwide, contributing to the widespread adoption of efficient and superior standards of construction practices.
