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.
We only have preliminary designs done but we know exactly what we want. 2 x 9x6 Nutec houses joined with a 1m passage. Similar outlay for each: Bedr & bathroom on each side with a 3x6 kitchen-lounge in the middle. Patio/veranda 3x1,5m with wooden deck added to each house, Total: 4 x ensuite bedrooms, 2 livingrooms, 2 patios. Total plus minus sq m
Just bought a vacant land, I just want to have a double storey house. When you walk in the first thing you seee is a big hallway faced by stairs leading to the bedrooms . Each bedroom with ensuite and a walk in closet. I would love 3 bedroom up stairs and the other 2 bedrooms downstairs. I want a big kitchen that would oppositely face the dining room. Also want two lounges one large, and the other one medium small.
Good Day I am an Interior Design Student at Vega Cape Town, and we have been tasked draw up a costing list for installation and purchase items for our designs for a project. Could I please approach you for estimated costing for a design, I have all the dimensions and pictures for the desired design. There will not be any in-depth technical information, just more or less an estimated costing for services and custom design elements and materials. I do hope you are able to help and i apologize for any inconvenience Thank you! Kind Regards
This is a small extension of an enclosed braairoom +- 11m sq and the fitting of 2 existing windows and a newly constucted 4 m stack door.

You are welcome to telephonically arrange a meeting to view the structure and professional plan, so I can discuss my requirements before accepting any quote. Kindly call only between 09:00 - 17:00 Mon - Fri.

It's a small bathroom in a 1 1/2 bed flat, it needs a makeover. The washbasin is next to the shower, the toilet by the door, I want the toilet next to the shower and the washbasin by the door.
