Gunning Construction and Civils (Pty) Ltd, which trades as GCC, is a Cape Town civil infrastructure contractor working for municipalities, developers and main contractors. It publishes two separate numbers, and the second one exists for a specific reason: GCC runs water meter support work for the City of Cape Town on its own line and mailbox.
Official contact channels
- Head office: 021 754 1444, email [email protected]
- City of Cape Town water meter support: 021 754 1445, email [email protected]
A water meter query on a City of Cape Town property belongs on 021 754 1445, not on the head office line. Tender, contract and account matters go to 021 754 1444.
What this organisation provides
GCC delivers turnkey civil work across six areas:
- Bulk earthworks
- Water infrastructure
- Sewer and sanitation infrastructure, including gravity lines, sewer connections, municipal sanitation upgrades and slurry line installation
- Stormwater infrastructure, including bulk pipeline installation, retention pond construction and cleaning, culverts, drainage structures, soak-aways and tie-ins to municipal infrastructure
- Road rehabilitation and reinstatement, including resurfacing, asphalt reinstatement after excavation, kerbing, layer works and under-bridge rehabilitation, with over 50,000 square metres of paving delivered
- Facilities maintenance for residential and commercial developments, weighted towards plumbing and water infrastructure: leak detection and repair, new line and main installations, fire sprinkler and hydrant maintenance, door hardware, and 24/7 standby fault resolution
The 24/7 standby fault resolution sits inside the facilities maintenance service and applies to sites GCC already maintains under contract. It is not a public emergency line, and GCC does not publish an after-hours number separate from the two above.
Address and operating information

Support and escalation routes
- Route the query by line first. Water meter matters on 021 754 1445 and [email protected]; everything else on 021 754 1444 and [email protected].
- GCC states that its work is delivered in compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act, ISO 9001:2015 quality management, its cidb grading, and client-specific contract requirements. It publishes the compliance set but not a numeric cidb grade.
- Where GCC is a subcontractor on a municipal project, the client of record is the municipality or the main contractor. A dispute about the works usually has to be raised through that contracting party rather than with GCC directly.
- Contractor registration and grading matters fall to the Construction Industry Development Board, which maintains the cidb register of contractors.
