Heckroodt / Evaluation of investment Extent of construction investment financing Figure 7 [Heckroodt:1997] indicates the extent of investment in construction projects from 1991 to 1995. Figure 8 [Heckroodt: 1997] indicates the comparative investment over these periods. The presence and existence of persistent influencing factors makes it even more important to carefully select an investor and the form of investment financing that will be earmarked and implemented as investment in construction projects. Investment can be done through various means, like private funding, bank loans, insurance company investments, foreign investment, reconstruction and development programmes (RDP funding) and real estate developers. Figure 9 [Heckroodt:1997] indicates that insurance companies are the biggest source of financing for construction projects in South Africa. Conclusion |
