Who are the architects in Mbabane and Manzini?

Chambers & Associates Architects works in both Mbabane and Manzini and serves the rest of Eswatini, including Matsapha and Ezulwini. The firm is based in Ezulwini and has run projects in Eswatini since 1993.

The practice covers four services on a single project or any one on its own: architectural design, principal agent work, project management, and interior coordination. Clients have included both public-sector bodies and private developers.

Can you hire a local architect in Eswatini instead of a South African firm?

Yes. Chambers & Associates is an Eswatini firm, registered to practise locally, and runs projects from its Ezulwini base in Mbabane, Manzini and the surrounding towns. A South African firm is not a requirement for a project inside Eswatini.

A local firm sits in the same time zone, knows the Eswatini building approvals process, and can attend site in Mbabane or Manzini without travel from across the border.
