Built
by hand,
every day.

Prostep is a South African precast concrete manufacturer specialising in staircases and precast lintels. A father-and-son team — Carinus and Petrus du Buson — designing, drawing, casting and installing from our Witbank yard since 1996, for everything from single homes to multi-block developments.

Who we are

Carinus & Petrus
du Buson.

A small, hands-on operation that's grown into one of the most trusted precast outfits in the region. Good products, good service — that's been the mission since day one.

Our core work is reinforced precast staircases and precast lintels, backed by a full range of concrete components — columns, cills, gullies, air bricks and decorative brickwork. Standard sizes for immediate collection, custom lengths and bespoke moulds to order.

We measure, design, draw and install for residential homes, commercial sites and large-scale developments. Every component to engineer's spec, every install handled by people who answer the phone themselves.
