Is it cheaper to build or buy a house in South Africa?
The short answer is that it is cheaper to buy an existing house in South Africa but every year less so.
Heritage House that needs to be repainted the roof , kitchen to be done at commercial level it about 12 sqm , the floors a wooden deck like floors most needs to be repainted and about 20 sqm needs to be replaced. Verandas of about 80 sqm needs stoep resurfacing. Tiling of another sqm indoors including 3 bathrooms . About 45sqm of roof rafters and zincalum to be replaced and painted green. About sqm of painting. The project will be government funded and from experience it takes about 7 days for invoices to be paid
The house was built a few years ago, the roof is currently a metal sheeting but I’d like to replace it now since there’s a lot of leaks or if possible patch up those leaks because I also want to put in a sealing board asap…I’d like to replace it with either tiles or the metal sheeting again, or just fix up the current metal sheeting depending on what’s cheaper
Please message me on Whatsapp. We want to extend our kitchen to an existing garage, open up the walls for more space, extend main bedroom and enlarge the en-suite into the existing studyroom, which is in the main bedroom, also opening up the front walls to open up the bedrooms, and do a bathroom renovation.
The number provided is the number of Anton, he is not the contact person. I, , will be the direct contact for any questions you may have. The email address is mine and I would greatly appreciate speedy response via email. We need the following to be repaired: part of the roof, build new pillar, gutter.
I need a small single wall built and two bare walls plastered. I need two doors installed. I need the remaining walls cleaned up and skimmed. And then a little bit of patching and fix-up. Once the walls are ready we can discuss future work like painting, tiling, waterproofing and installing a shower, etc.
We currently have a tiled terrace, underneath is a room. Every year we have to seal the ceiling in this room as humidity comes through the grouting as it gets more and more brittle. We look now for a long term solution. So we would like to remove the tiles and put concrete on (either by you or by our handyman) and then waterproof it, then we would like to put decking on. There is as well the area around the pool (also with tiles) which should be waterproofed (it is next to the terrace). We would like you to give us a quote on that please as soon as possible. Can somebody still come out today or tomorrow?
I am currently in the UK but available on Whatsapp, Whatsapp call and email. Persistent leak when it rains, under certain conditions. Many people have tried to fix it and failed. The source of the rain leak has not been found. Water is running along the plastic sheet under the tiles, and then drips down through a hole where the chimney/flu is. The source is NOT the chimney seal on the top of the roof.

Please help me. The builders didn't install a plastic (black plastic) in the foundation. The problem now is that the paint and the plastering is peeling off because of moisture. My house is in King Williams town. I need someone to advise whether the foundation will need to be redone or whether there is something else that can be done
