Welcome to our culture of excellence, which by definition, is out of the ordinary.
It is a conspiracy to excel, a commitment to be excellent. Fundamentally, a philosophy, a way of being and thinking rather than a destination. Creating such a culture requires a vision of what is possible, a plan to set it in motion,
and the practices to generate it on an ongoing basis.
The recent economic trials have forced us to look hard at our values and what we value. Our brand reflects these truths. We stand for unsurpassed excellence. We embrace change while staying relevant in a fast-paced world.
Ultimately, we escape short-term compromise to ensure prosperity across generations.
Our business is founded on the principles of knowledge, purpose and timelessness. We strive for Unique Achievement based on the pillars of Craftsmanship, Focus, History and Rarity.

ryno BeukMAn – Operational director
After studying Construction technology part time at Intec College, I furthered my studies in Construction Management at CPUT. In 2010 I began my career working for a company in Somerset West before joining Brick Art Construction in 2013. I am proud to have managed the construction of some of Paarl Valley’s most notable residential homes.
As an on-site Project Manager, I’m responsible for managing all aspects of the project, including the scheduling, accounting, and the oversight of our managers, foreman and subcontractors for safety and quality. I have the ability to make decisions quickly and under pressure while maintaining the best interest of our clients and proving fairness to
subcontractors to maintain schedule and quality.
Speed is in my blood. Coming from a family whose favourite past time is racing motocross, I know a little about speed and its relation to control. When it comes to projects, speed is important (at least all our clients think so), but from my angle, speed is not as important as efficiency. To be efficient, you must have balance; you cannot simply “go fast”, as you may leave important elements behind. On the flip side, paralysis by analysis is just as big a threat to efficiency, and sometimes you just have to twist the throttle. As Operations Director, this is a balance my team and I are constantly evaluating. No project runs the same, and “throttle control” is often the key to running a successful project.
My wife Leanne and dogs Zoe and Marley are my world. Of all the hobbies and activities I enjoy, nothing beats the time spent with my family. God has blessed me with an amazing family both at home and at work. We are very proud to call Paarl our home.
leonHArd jonAs - Managing director
I consider myself a competitive, motivated, and intentionally positive person. I don’t subscribe to the idea of limited potential. I want to see what’s possible, both for myself and for our clients.
Personally, I have the honour of being a husband to my wife Nicolette and a father to my son Leonardo and daughter Nicole-Ann. For me, having my family behind me and supporting me has really shaped who I am and what my priorities are - well, they and my tenacity. I am never satisfied with where I am at, but always looking for ways to grow. As in life, I feel quality can always be improved, and I am proud to say that I am persistently pursuing perfection.
Professionally, I spent the first 12 years in my previous life as a banker with institutions such as SARB, Investec and RMB Private Advisory. I obtained numerous qualifications in finance and property development and I am a registered Professional Banker and -Project Manager. In 2008 I identified a series of opportunities and decided not to allow my successes to be immersed into large organizations. To this extent, I founded Guardian Project Management and later Brick Art Construction. I possess strong analytical, entrepreneurial, leadership and organisational skills, as well as attention to detail. I love the process of growth and change, and I am continually learning how to lead my company and my team.
I’m a solutions guy and an anything is possible guy. I love people, and I love Paarl. I love the German characteristics instilled in me of discipline, efficiency, work ethic, being well-organized, -punctual and tradition.
Trails. Mountains. Trees. Sunsets and sunrises. Good coffee. Braai. Sign me up. Let’s go!
OuR PEOPLE We combine world-class partnerships, a wealth of expertise and the like-minded pursuit of excellence to create a unique team that far exceeds the sum of its parts.

“It has been a positive experience partnering with Brick Art Construction on this project. I would not hesitate to re-appoint the company if I were
to embark on another building project“ - derick van eeden, Head: it infrastructure at capitec Bank limited.
“They did an exceptional job completing our home - not only was the quality of work and workmanship outstanding but the friendly and
professional manner in which the entire project was handled must be commended. The company made what potentially could be a very difficult
and intimidating task an absolute pleasure and all round rewarding experience” - charl Wiid, regional Branch Manager at investec.
“I found Brick Art Construction the most professional complete construction and project management company I have ever worked with. I was
based in Johannesburg for the duration of the project and had very little interaction and involvement in the project. They never compromise
on quality, always have the client’s best interest at heart, take ownership of the project as if it is their own house and reference to budget is
always part of the decision process. I would recommend Brick Art Construction to any potential home builder and will use them in future building
projects” - carl roothman, ceo sanlam investments: retail Business.
“During the entire building project Brick Art Construction remained very professional with open and effective lines of communication. The end
product is an example of their high standard of workmanship” - joseph Bronn, Alternate director of Main subsidiary, shoprite checkers.
“Our house was build mostly in our absence but regular interaction by electronic and photographic means kept us well informed at all times. The
building process was well coordinated and of the highest quality. This in conjunction with the kind personal attention of the project manager, for
which no effort was too much, made this a worthwhile experience. We have no hesitation in recommending the Brick Art team and wish them
well for the future” - Francois Potgieter, MB.chb. MMed(ophth) (Age 71).
“Building a new house can be a daunting task, more so if you live on the other side of the world. We were very fortunate to have Brick Art
Construction to manage our project from beginning to end. Both Leonhard, Ryno and Nicolette were always available to answer questions, and
with regular e-mail updates, phone calls and hundreds of photo’s we felt very much part of the project even being far away. Their attention to
detail were appreciated. No problem or obstacle was to big to solve!. We would highly recommend Brick Art Construction to build and manage
your project. We would use them any day again” - dr. Gert & Marja du Plessis, canmore, Alberta, canada.
