--------------
PGS Heritage is a Pretoria-based heritage management company founded in 2003 by a team of archaeologists who set out to professionalize and humanize the way heritage resources - especially graves - are identified, assessed, and managed across southern Africa. Over the past two decades, the firm has grown into an industry leader providing turnkey services that include heritage and archaeological impact assessments, grave relocation projects, and community-focused consultation for public- and private-sector developments. Their work is rooted in South African heritage legislation and designed to help clients complete projects legally, on time, and with full transparency.
What distinguishes PGS Heritage is its emphasis on the people affected by development. The company routinely acts as a bridge between developers, statutory bodies, and local communities or next-of-kin, ensuring that sensitive sites are treated with dignity and that cultural landscapes are preserved where possible. Guided by values of compassion, integrity, and innovation, PGS Heritage integrates scientific standards with community engagement, endorses South Africa鈥檚 Black Economic Empowerment initiatives, and prioritizes socially responsible practice - making them a respected voice on heritage, archaeology, and the ethics of relocation in contemporary Africa.
