Master Builders' Association Western Cape

The Master Builders and Allied Trades’ Association Western Cape (MBAWC) is a leading trade association representing employers in the building industry throughout the Western Cape. Established in 1891, it is the oldest organisation of its kind in South Africa and operates autonomously while being affiliated with Master Builders South Africa (MBSA). MBAWC is committed to promoting quality, safety, and professionalism to ensure sustained growth and investment in the building sector. It does this by insisting that its members work to the highest possible standards, aesthetically, technically and ethically - in short, that they conduct their business in a thoroughly professional manner at all times. In addition, MBAWC has a strong focus on raising awareness amongst members of the public so that they are aware of the importance of securing the services of contractors who are registered members and adhere to these same standards. MBAWC is a trusted partner to the building industry AND THE PUBLIC, providing resources, advocacy, and training that elevate the sector’s standards and professionalism. By fostering a collaborative and ethical business environment, MBAWC plays a crucial role in building sustainable growth and maintaining public trust in the Western Cape construction industry.
