About Us
What we all
About
Our aim is to be the Africa’s most admired and successful
benchmark in executing early stage large scale infrastructure
and industrial projects.
We are driven by our passion, creativity and collaboration to

understand and anticipate our customers’ changing needs
ABOUT US Page 6
Who we Are
Brickstone is a Project Accelerator firm with strong

competence in early-stage project development for
large industrial and infrastructure projects.
In executing our advisory process Brickstone combines investment

acceleration, capacity building and hands-on advisory skills to navigate
the complex structures which characterize today’s financial markets and
an unsurpassed creative approach that differs from the traditional
consulting firm.
Our Goal at Brickstone is to be Africa’s Infrastructure Catalyst
Brickstone believes Africa presents an attractive investment opportunity for

investors seeking attractive and long-term risk adjusted returns. Despite the Energy,
Infrastructure and Real Estate markets in Africa having high and stable returns, only
a few institutional advisors under this risk and ability to mitigate them.
Brickstone is the “catalyst” Africa has been looking in quicken its gap in its
infrastructure deficit, while providing the quality project development and
acceleration service
ABOUT US Page 7
Our Approach
We strive to be known as "the quality" driven development advisory

practice. We focus on creating distinctive, eminent assets that fuse

the critical needs.

ABOUT US Page 8
Our Aspirations
"Brickstone is right at the heart of the great African Infrastructure growth

story of our time – and playing a critical role.
Satisfying the Africa's escalating needs for Infrastructure over the next few decades
will continue to be a momentous challenge. Our objective is to help investors, lenders
and governments by providing them with the commercial, strategic and financial
insights they need to make value-creating decisions to close the infrastructure gap".
ABOUT US Page 9
Our Value Add
In Africa it is becoming clear that the reasons for the shortage of infrastructure
investment go beyond the need for policy and governance reforms. But the key
problem is not a lack of funding, as might be expected. Instead, it is the lack of
well packaged, bankable projects. This must be addressed through increased
attention to project preparation and execution.
In filling this gap Brickstone intends to make a real and lasting impact on the
development of sub-Saharan Africa’s Energy, Infrastructure and Real Estate
Sectors. The Brickstone Team have over 50 years of extensive experience in
commercial advisory, transaction structuring and development management and
have been able to perform some of the most innovative and market-leading
projects.
