The practice of LDM was established in Durban in 1984 by Deen Letchmiah. Since 1984, the company has grown organically to emerge as one of the leading Quantity Surveying Practices in South Africa with offices in most major centres of the country.

Our basic philosophy of adding value through efficient cost planning and management remains unchanged. Indeed, we have progressed and developed our services to satisfy a broad variety of Client and Community needs and to provide a practical solution that is individually tailored for each project. A high standard without standard solutions!

Client Services:
We intend to be a preferred service provider based on the quality of our use (rather than supply) of information and providing an overall service that is superior, competitive and value adding. Our approach is always to be positive and creative, rather than simply reactive, which reinforces our commitment to the formulation of total quality solutions to a client's needs.



LDM's four founding Directors, Deen Letchmiah, Jugdeesh (Jack) Daya, Tenjiwe Hoyana and Abubaker (Abu) Varachhia, play a significant role in managing this flourishing practice. They are ably supported by their fellow Directors, together with highly skilled and dedicated members of staff. The practice is further complemented by a fully integrated IT network and attendant infrastructure.
