Who we are
Trusted Plant Hire & Civil Construction Services in Cape Town & Beyond
Reliable. Family-Run. 30+ Years of Excellence.
Our story
We’re builders with purpose. Operators with precision. A family-run team driven by one goal: To deliver your project safely, efficiently, and exactly as planned — on time and on budget.
Founded in Cape Town’s Deep South, Target Plant Hire was established to meet the growing demand for plant hire in the local building industry. Over the years, we’ve grown alongside the region’s expanding construction sector. In 2024, we expanded into civil construction under the leadership of Nathan Botha, Managing Director & Partner, alongside Josh de Hutton and Adrian de Hutton, who continue to uphold the family values that shaped the business.
Target Plant Hire & Civils stands ready to take on both residential and commercial projects with the same reliability and quality we’ve delivered for three decades.
