ABOUT THE OWNER

  • Estia Kokt graduated from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in 2002 and joined Gosling Associates in 2003. She became an associate in 2005 and a full partner in 2010, following which the firm was renamed Gosling & Kokt. Under its two-director leadership, the practice delivered numerous successful projects across Southern Africa.
  • In 2013, Estia founded Kokt & Company Quantity Surveyors with the aim of continuing to build a reputation for integrity, innovation, and highly adaptable, client-focused service.
  • Her interest in Contract Law and Alternative Dispute Resolution grew alongside her QS career. After observing the impact contractual misunderstandings have on projects, she began Arbitration studies in 2012. She later trained in Mediation and qualified as an international Mediator through the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in 2015. She has since been an active advocate for mediation as an effective, constructive dispute-resolution tool.
  • Since its establishment, Kokt & Co has delivered QS services on a diverse range of building projects with unwavering dedication to client satisfaction.
