I have identified a residential land in Kuils River and I have a plan of building 10 70m² properties on the land. These properties will have to be modern affordable homes, a 2 bedroom house that will have garage/parking space and then some room where one can put a granny flat if they choose. I need a figure of how much would material and labour cost for such project, from start to finish.
We would like to build a 4 bedroomed, double storey house, X2 Garages, x2 Bathrooms, X1 large living space. House to be build in rural area, in Sterkspruit, +/- kms from Bloemfontein.

Water supply to complex must be turned off , so that the stop cock can be replaced. I've done renovations to our flat ,and discovered a ancient, faulty stop cock. The stop cock is leaking and is on the main water supply pipe to our unit. We need to replace this faulty stop cock, and fit a new one. The problem is that we need to turn off the water supply to the complex, replace the stop cock, and return the water supply.
