Built on expertise. Driven by accountability.
Macnella and Partners is a professionally registered quantity surveying and project management consultancy based in Pretoria East, South Africa. We exist to give clients clear financial control and confident project delivery.
A practice founded on professional rigour.
Macnella and Partners was established by Allen Macherera, a professionally registered Quantity Surveyor (PrQS) with over 10 years of experience in the South African construction industry. The firm was founded on a straightforward conviction: clients deserve a consultant who is technically excellent, personally accountable, and genuinely invested in the outcome of their project.
Operating from Pretoria East, we serve clients across Gauteng and beyond — working across healthcare, education, residential, commercial, industrial, government, retail, and hospitality sectors. Every engagement is led directly by Allen, ensuring the quality and consistency that larger firms often struggle to maintain.
We are registered with the South African Council for the Quantity Surveying Profession (SACQSP) and operate in full compliance with the professional standards and ethical obligations of the profession.

The principles that guide every engagement.
Integrity & Transparency
We give clients honest advice, accurate numbers, and clear reporting — even when the news is difficult. There are no hidden agendas and no inflated estimates.
Client-First Approach
Every decision we make is guided by what is best for the client. We take time to understand your goals, constraints, and risk appetite before we advise.
Technical Excellence
We hold ourselves to the highest professional standards. Our cost estimates, BOQs, and contract documents are thorough, accurate, and defensible.
Accountability
We own our work and our advice. If something is not right, we address it directly. Clients always know who is responsible and how to reach them.
Professionalism
From the first consultation to final handover, we conduct ourselves with the discipline, discretion, and respect that the profession demands and our clients expect.
Small by design. Effective by discipline.
Macnella and Partners operates as a focused boutique practice. Our small team structure is deliberate — it ensures that every client receives senior-level attention on every project, with no work passed down to junior staff without oversight. We supplement our core team with trusted specialist associates where project scope demands it, maintaining quality without compromising the personal service that defines our practice.
