J T DOOLEY CONTRACTING CC was founded by James (Jim) Thomas Dooley (now deceased) in 1987.
He formed the company after his retirement from Office Design Contracts (a subsidiary of M&R), where he had a service record of twenty five years and held a directorship position.
Michael Thomas Dooley (the youngest of Jim’s four children) joined the firm after completing a Bsc Building Science at the University of Cape Town in 1989. Mike has progressed through all the structures of the company after being employed as a contracts manager in Barberton in 1990.
Peter Stoffel Segeel worked with Jim at ODC from 1979 to 1990. When Jim started JTD, he offered PS the position as QS, a position which PS took up in 1990. PS has held a membership in the company since 2005.
Our business philosophy is based on the principles of:
Staff retention. We can proudly say that more than 80% of our staff have been in our employ for longer than 15 years, and staff resignations are rare.
Staff protection. Our in-house safety officer Walter ensures that all staff are trained and equipped according to their tasks, and that all safety protocols are diligently followed on site
Staff upliftment. Our staff own 51% of the company in a profit-share scheme overseen by the BESI Trust.
Staff education. Annually we budget and spend over R200 000 through our education fund and adult training programmes
Client satisfaction. All our work comes to us Word-of-mouth, we have life-long relationship with our clients and we are always available to ensure that any unfortunate job snags are satisfactorily dealt with
Supplier integrity. Our relationships with our suppliers span decades, and are based on the mutual appreciation that no job can be undertaken with poor quality materials or installations
