Development Consultancy Support Services

Company objectives:

HERVASA’s mission is to establish itself as a leading management and consultancy group for all those who are serious about providing accommodation and services for the retired population. Our goal is to enter into long-term relationships with small to medium developers and institutions. Within the first year of operation, HERVASA has achieved cross-racial and cultural links by way of raising Elder Awareness across the economic infrastructure within South Africa. It is envisaged that local and international business will become involved by way of funding and sponsorship of short term and day care centres within the townships of major cities.

We consult with developers on what, where and how to build the perfect retirement and healthcare development with all the needs of the clientele being met and efficiently managed.

Overview

HERVASA delivers professional operational management services in architecture, urban . design and interiors within the retirement and Healthcare industry. Through these services we help organisations create innovative places, communities and buildings that improve the quality of life for seniors.

At HERVASA, we create spaces with a unique purpose. We call these ‘specialised environments’ and they are fundamental to the way in which we run our business. A specialised environment is one that has very specific requirements. This environment is not determined by size, place or typology, but is rather defined by context and client/user expectations.

As consultants of specialised environments, our typical project is complex and requires a specialised response. We have a view that innovation should respond to context and that context can take many forms - a tight urban site, a limited budget, a complex group of board members or complex operational requirements to mention a few.

To design a product that matches its market, with our extensive knowledge and thorough understanding of the business or organisations requirements within the Retirement and Healthcare industry.

Our vision is to understand the needs of our clients and through education, research and global best practice, create innovative and enduring solutions for them.

Our solutions seamlessly integrate responses to all aspects of the project context.

Specialised environments need a specialised response to create places that are special to be in.
