Our History
Our Legacy: A Chronicle of Vision and Innovation
In the crucible of innovation, Grinaker Building Construction was born. In 1889, James Thompson ignited the spark by establishing a building and carpentry business in Durban, South Africa. His foresight and dedication set the stage for a legacy that would transcend time.
By 1908, James Thompson had not only become the mayor of Johannesburg but had also solidified his position as the town's largest building contractor. His leadership resonated with a commitment to excellence, shaping the trajectory of construction in the region.
In 1911, the narrative took an international turn with the arrival of Ole Grinaker, a young engineer from Norway. Ole brought a fresh perspective and a wealth of expertise that would later redefine the construction landscape in South Africa.
