Improving the property development and construction sector environment since 2008

The theme of the WCPFD Conference 2025 is:
RECALIBRATING the development conversation

The national elections in June 2024 saw South Africa become a Government of National Unity (GNU). Conversations across the country now need to RECALIBRATE, and the WCPDF conference will interrogate how these are progressing across the Western Cape Property Development and Construction landscape.
