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.
I haver an existing IBR roof with the following issues: Flashing removed at parapet joining at all resulting in leaks all over the roof. Pitch is too low. Wood used is and not . Wood is rotten at some places. Beam in lounge is not according to plan leading to sagging. IBR sheets is still the old solid IBR and can be taken off and put back. I am not sure what the damage is underneath

So just some notes to guide you through the attachments. A - Confirmed small block parquet floor as per foto (Might be a block or two missing) B - The owner can not remember if there were parquet floor, its been 40 years... Her son say that there might be, but not % sure. C - There is only carpet on top of the concrete, we would like to know if there is a product that we can use that might tie into the parquet look for this area. I think the full floor area of the confirmed space is about : 44 square meters The un confirmed space is about : 37 square meters TV room and study is about : 16 square meters 1st quote: Restore of the confirmed area. (Including the lifting of the carpet, since I might break the floor even more) 2nd quote: Restore of the total confirmed and un confirmed area (Including the lifting of the carpet, since I might break the floor even more) 3rd quote: A suitable option that would tie in with the parquet floor look.

Could you please quote me on the attached plans for a house at 36 Hillary rd in Mountain Homes. I would like to know which would you recommend, a Chromadek or tiled roof. Could you give me a costing for both, and if you would include the cost of putting either up. An itemized quote would be useful (Tiles / Chromadek & with or without installation) , and the turnaround time for installation would help me plan accordingly. many thanks
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. The roof is not tiled but some sort of metal or composite water proofing, light enough not to need a metal lintel. 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.
