My name is Corrie Volckmar and I started Master Tiler in 1994 in Mafikeng the capital of Bopputhatswana, I soon built up a formidable team, covering surrounding towns including Zeerust, Lichtenburg and Vryburg. At the peak we were 40 strong operating 5 teams with an average 1000sq/m per month of tiles laid rising to a peak of just over 3000sq/m the last month when I sold the business in 2006 in or
der to relocate to the West Coast. Getting started down here was not easy as everything was different especially labour. Having tried many local 'tilers' ( without success) I started with myself and one helper - but now I have a team of 6 consisting of 3 tilers and 3 helpers whom I have trained to be very efficient. With 3 tilers on the job we are faster than most and finish 100sq/m floor in 2 days. Bathrooms and kitchens obviously take longer due to all cuttings that have to be done!
2008 was our kick-off year on the West Coast, spending most of our time on training on the 7000sq/m done. With zero advertising we have managed to stay busy and unfortunately had to turn many jobs away. We are geared for the bigger jobs and can easily tackle jobs over 2000sq/m in record time ( The best being 50,1sq/m per Hour on Fruit and Veg City in Mafikeng. Various other large contracts include the Olympic size swimming pool at Lichtenburg pleasure resort, Complete Ganyesa municipality, 200 houses for Naledi Construction, Tender-board building, Molopo sun - 300 rooms, many car show rooms, Steers in Zeerust, Goverment buildings etc).
2009 was so much better, considering it was a recession year we almost doubled our production and still managed to pick up some nice sized jobs like the new KFC in Vredendal, a U-Save shoprite in Saldanha, a Checkin supermarket in Clan William and the new R5 shop in Vredenburg.
2010 has kicked off with a bang, we started on the 4th jan and are already booked up till the end of Feb. The Checkin in Clan William is getting a revamp with old tiles being replaced with full body porcelain, and this while business continues, feel free to call the owner Michael Coetzee on 0836275709 to find out how he rates us.
