Built for Design Integrity, Technical Detail & On-Time Delivery

Architects design the vision. We protect it. For 30+ years, Wilcote Cape Town has partnered with architectural firms to deliver spec-grade waterproofing, roofing, and painting systems that preserve aesthetics, meet performance criteria, and pass inspections the first time.

Why Architects Specify Wilcote

• Spec-Driven Execution
  We build to drawings, specs, and method statements. If details are missing, we propose constructible, code-compliant solutionswith drawings for sign-off.

• Detailing That Prevents Callbacks
  Skylight upstands, parapet terminations, outlets, laps, movement joints our foremen are trained to treat weak points so leaks don’t come back.

• Climate-Smart Systems (Cape Town)
  Materials are selected for UV, salt air, wind load, and thermal movement. We don’t “one-size-fits-all”—we select systems per elevation, exposure, and use.

• Quality Assurance & Documentation
  ITPs, daily site logs, photographic records, and handover packs with warranties. Your client gets a traceable quality file.

• Compliance & Safety
  Fall protection plans, risk assessments, Toolbox Talks, WCA, COIDA, and R5m public liability. Asbestos work done legally, safely, documented.

• One Team, One Guarantee
  No subcontractor chain. Wilcote employees only, with a single point of accountability and consolidated warranties.
