Construction as a business !!

Hi All,

What are your views on "Construction" as a business for a Tier 1 Entrepreneur?
By "Construction", I mean -

1) Constructing a building on my clients land.
2) Demolishing the existing building and creating a new one for my client.
3) Be supplier of the construction material and Labor as part of the contract.
4) Providing services like, planning permission, architectural designs, etc. (from third party/architect, etc)
5) Employing labour or staff.

I am specifying that I or my construction company is NOT buying any property/land to develop. Sole purpose is constructing the building and supplier of inventory material. Me or my company will NOT be part of the property selling after construction.

Thanks,
Kaps

@ Kaps84, construction services is allowed under the Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa as long as you don't take part in the buying and selling of the building for the sole purpose of making profit from its sales thereafter. Meanwhile your construction service should be clearly specified in your invoices. The person who buy the materials for the job shouldn't be an issue as some clients could opt to get their own materials while paying you for labour.

Another important point to note is that your construction services should fall within the required NQF level 4 if you are on Tier 1 Entrepreneur PSW route.

@Olasunkanmi: Thanks for your reponse!! I am a T1E by 200K route. Is there any such level like NQF or any other obligation that you know of for T1E 200K route?

No, there is no NQF requirement at all in the 200k route
