History
Titan Solutions started in 2001 as an electrical cable supplier under the company name of Titan Cables initially
which supplied large volumes and types of copper cabling. This venture ultimately evolved into Titan Solutions
when one of the major clients dealt with property and the need for both electrical as well as a property
maintenance services was required. At first private clients were the main sources of income for the business
however after marketing the company more extensively Titan Solutions was awarded several orders with
Investec Property Group and its subsidiaries. During this time Titan Solutions also serviced Metboard
Properties, Treslo Trading and Growthpoint Properties who now use Titan Solutions as one of their preferred
service providers.

At Titan Solutions our vision is to obtain the leading edge in the property market. We intend to do so by
ensuring that our clients receive service excellence in conjunction with our primary aim.

FACILITY MANAGEMENT

Titan Solutions sees itself as a total solution for maintenance and repair
issues enabling our clients to focus on their core business and ultimately
saving on their bottom line. Facility management services are currently
being utilized more and more extensively with companies to improve and
reduce operating costs and save money. Outsourcing facility maintenance
and repair responsibilities has proven to be a risk-free and highly effective
st
management strategy for companies in the 21 century.

Our aim is to allow companies to concentrate on their core business by

creating and managing an ideal working environment - which is our core
business.

 DEVELOPMENT
Overview

Titan Solutions became involved in developments back in 2006 together with Grinaker LTA. in a joint venture
with Sivukela Construction working together on the renovations for Monte Casinos Palazzo Intercontinental
Hotel. This involved major brickwork which needed to be carried out to an extremely high standard. Titan
Solutions property developments have since tried to find ways to outperform existing development
companies in its approach to achieving properties that offer a good return on investment and long-term
quality.

MONTE CASINO - PALAZZO HOTEL

As a socially conscious property development company, Titan Solutions seeks to not only achieve a good
return for investments, but also to help with the investment in the future of South Africa and the long-term
revitalisation of its structures. We like to be involved with projects that not only prove to be worthwhile for
investors, but also have a lasting effect on the community and the space around them.

Services
As a logical transition from the tasks of handling a facility management business it became natural that Titan
Solutions could grow its services by extending them into the development sector. Titan Solutions currently
offers a wide variety of services that are even more applicable to new developments as they are for the
building maintenance industry.

11
Project Management
Large scale projects merely require good planning and ongoing management of the sites in order to meet
project milestones and at the same time never sacrifice the quality of work in order to meet these deadlines.

A structured plan is an invaluable resource which allows us to track progress and supply our clients with up to
date information as to what the status is of how the project is running in each area.

continue to remain involved with.

 CLEANING

Overview
The Cleaning Division of Titan Solutions not only helps sustain business in other aspects of the company it is
also a vital part in any facility management business as cleaning services are required on a daily basis and
therefore goes hand in hand with the services we provide.

Government Department across three different sites for over two
years now. The total floor area at one of these sites is in the order
2
of 16 000m and more offices and warehousing are currently being

all conceivable actions will be undertaken with the Employees and their respective Unions to ensure that any
service rendered to the Client is not disrupted; any negotiation between the various parties will be undertaken
in the best interest of the Client.

Total Quality Management System

Each site is designed with a quality management system for the specific site. The various sites are unique in
terms of finishes i.e. walls, flooring, carpets, windows etc. The Client will be forwarded a copy of the Quality
Management System & Reporting tools prior to its implementation.

Letter from the Director

Titan Solutions has a business concept that will revolutionize the cleaning industry. To achieve this goal we
require the assistance of our clients.

As a fellow South African I have the utmost love and pride for my country and I would like to contribute to the
development of this beautiful country.

I believe that the cleaning industry can play a vital role in the development of this country by employing
unskilled previously disadvantaged individuals and giving them the necessary skills to enter the working
environment.

Titan Solutions has a policy of employing previously unemployed individuals and therefore contributing to the
goal of decreasing the ratio of unemployed people in our country. We have been able to create several new
jobs thanks to the contracts that we have been awarded.

With your assistance we will be able to achieve the goal of empowerment, equality and general upliftment of
South Africa!

We can achieve this by sending staff on various courses to train them a profession they choose and then set
out to help find them alternative employment either with government departments or the private sector.

We would like to see our cleaning contracts as a starting basis for previously unemployed individuals to enter
into the working environment, be provided with training and then be able to pursue a career of their choice!

We like to believe this concept will eventually grow nationally and encourage other companies to follow the
same way that Titan Solutions along with our clients have set out and lead by.

Safety & Security
Safety
Titan Solutions prides itself on perfection and professionalism
therefore health and safety is of paramount importance.

Safety starts with having contractors/craftsmen who are specifically

skilled in particular types of work. A key issue which ensures that work
gets carried out correctly and safely is that there is sufficient
supervision at all projects. Getting a job done quickly at the expense of safety is certainly not a negotiable
criterion within our company principles. A combination of good leadership and respect for people is how we
prevent accidents from occurring together with the standard safety precautions.

Tibor Szana, acting chief inspector for occupational safety at the Department of Labour once commented, We
need to appreciate peoples lives. People who are performing even the most menial tasks are people with
families; theyve got a life.

OHSA Compliance

Titan Solutions believes in making themselves one of the safest places to work, through working together and
taking personal responsibility for the safety of ourselves and others around us. Titan Solutions has developed a
Golden Rules of Safety handbook which is issued to all employees to reinforce the rules of safety however this
does not replace an effective Health and Safety Management System.

Our purpose is to instil a culture of personal safety awareness throughout the company and to ensure that all
staff work as a team to avoid accidents and incidents. Titan Solutions is totally committed to uphold and
enforce the policies and principles that form the backbone of our Health and Safety management System.

All Titan Solutions employees are covered under the Compensation for Occupational Injuries & Diseases Act
(COID)
