Mission Statement To satisfy the architectural requirements of our clients through relevant and excellent service. Design philosophy A successful design is created out of: * A complete understanding of the brief which must be developed in depth. * A complete understanding of the characteristics of the site. * A complete understanding of the culture of the institution or the client. The CSKO affirmative action policy was introduced in 1995 to ensure that we operate in the correct spirit for the new South Africa. Affirmative action is not about taking work opportunities from non-Blacks and giving them to Blacks. It is, however, about accepting and affirming through our firm’s actions the diverse nature of our nation, even in our workplace and to recognise past inadequacies. We believe in affirmative action. Management decisions are directed to take disadvantages into account without deviating unfairly from the basic policy of equal opportunities. There shall be positive actions towards the development of individuals to overcome past education and other disadvantages with the aim to uplift such individuals to eventually compete on an equal productive basis.
