Who We Are

La Calma
Pty Ltd

Est. 2023  ·  Johannesburg, Gauteng

La Calma Pty Ltd was established in 2023 in Johannesburg, South Africa. The company was founded on a clear purpose: to provide contractors, developers, and engineering firms with the structured, compliant, and professionally administered tender support that serious infrastructure work demands.

We operate at the intersection of technical consulting and administrative precision — structured in accordance with both ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management) standards. Clients engaging La Calma receive both standards as part of the same engagement.

The La Calma name reflects our philosophy: calm, methodical, and reliable. In the pressured environment of tender administration and project support, that quality is not incidental — it is the foundation of everything we produce.

Built for Serious Work.

Cross-Disciplinary Versatility
Two professionals covering project management, quantity surveying, ISO systems, draughting, and administration — a single coordinated team across all six engineering disciplines.
03
Dual ISO Standards
Structured to both ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management) — giving clients full systems coverage under one engagement.
04
Deadline-Oriented Process
Tender windows are fixed and non-negotiable. Our internal process is designed specifically to deliver complete, reviewed, and submission-ready documents on time.

The Team

Our People

La Calma is a compact, specialist team — and that is deliberate. Two professionals with complementary skill sets across project management, quantity surveying, ISO systems, draughting, and multi-disciplinary administration means every engagement gets direct senior attention, not delegation.

The projects and organisations listed below form part of wider professional experience and exposure, held in individual personal capacities. They are not presented as current La Calma Pty Ltd appointments, nor do they limit the team members' capabilities to those examples only.

Tsholofelo Gaborone — Director & ISO Lead
Tsholofelo Gaborone
Director & ISO Lead

Tsholofelo leads La Calma's operational direction and is the primary lead on both ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management and ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management systems. Her professional background is deliberately broad — spanning project management on live infrastructure projects, structural draughting in industrial environments, and ISO documentation development. This range across disciplines is a core strength: she understands construction projects from multiple vantage points simultaneously, which makes every document she produces grounded in practical site reality rather than theory.

Sibahle Mutavayi — Quantity Surveyor & Project Manager
Sibahle Mutavayi
Quantity Surveyor & Project Manager

Sibahle brings professional QS and project management exposure across public infrastructure, water and sanitation, roads, and facility development sectors. Her background spans BOQ preparation, measurement, procurement comparison, contract administration, and on-site project management — giving La Calma strong technical depth on the cost and contract side of every tender. Her public-sector experience across multiple municipalities and government departments means she understands the compliance and documentation standards these clients expect.

    Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA) — facility upgrading projects

A Deliberately Versatile Team

The range of roles and sectors covered by just two professionals is not coincidental — it is a structural strength. La Calma clients engage a team that has operated as project managers, structural draughtspersons, quantity surveyors, ISO systems leads, site administrators, and tender coordinators across water infrastructure, roads, industrial facilities, and housing development. That breadth means the team understands a construction project from multiple vantage points simultaneously — which directly improves the quality and credibility of every tender document we produce.

"Every document we produce is structured, auditable, and aligned to both ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management and ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management principles — by design, not by accident."
