Presiding officers have handed over the site to the first contractors who will begin preparing the site for its new face, after Parliament’s main buildings were destroyed by fire in 2022.
CAPE TOWN - Parliament is not ruling out that the cost of its mammoth rebuild could exceed the current R3.1 billion budget.
On Thursday, presiding officers handed over the site to the first contractors who will begin preparing the site for its new face. Nine contractors have been pre-qualified by the Development Bank of South Africa to provide quotations to Parliament for its rebuild.Architectural designs are at an advanced stage - and demolition work is set to start soon.
“It may well be R2 billion, it may be R2.1 billion, whatever the costs - I don’t want to start anticipating but we all know in construction, the main contractor will cost and then on competitiveness they will award.”
