OUR PEOPLE, OUR POWER
Established in 1973, ERC has grown from a small electrical contracting business into one of the Western Cape’s most respected providers of electrical and electronic infrastructure solutions. With nearly five decades of continuous operation, we have built our reputation on professionalism, reliability, and the consistent delivery of quality workmanship across every project.
Our team of over 150 dedicated managers and labour forms the backbone of our success. Many of our people have been with ERC for more decades, a reflection of our commitment to staff development, mentorship, and long-term growth. We believe in nurturing our own talent, fostering a culture of camaraderie, teamwork, and accountability that translates directly into the quality of our service on site.
OUR SPECIALITY, OUR PROJECTS
ERC specialises in large-scale electrical and electronic installations across commercial, residential, and industrial projects, with particular focus on shopping centres, apartment developments, and office buildings. Over the years, we have successfully completed more than 2,000 projects — each one approached with precision, care, and a focus on finding proactive solutions that drive results for our clients.
"Quality means doing it right when no one is looking" - Henry Ford
Our client base includes some of South Africa’s most reputable developers and institutions, such as Investec, Rabie, Growthpoint, Redefine, BBG, and Daleglen. The continued partnerships we share with these organisations are a testament to the trust we’ve earned through consistent delivery and professional excellence.
DEDICATION TO CHANGE
Proudly based in Somerset West, ERC operates exclusively within Cape Town and its surrounds, allowing us to maintain a hands-on approach and deep understanding of local requirements. We are a Level 3 B-BBEE contributor, actively committed to transformation and diversity in our industry.
At ERC, we see ourselves as more than just electrical contractors — we are partners in progress. Every project is an opportunity to build value, empower our people, and contribute to a stronger, more connected future for our clients and communities alike. With experience, teamwork, and innovation at our core, we continue to power the Western Cape together.
