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 need a quote for a 1 bedroom 72 sqm cottage in nutec or timber. Bathroom will have a basin, toilet and a wetroom shower. High open ceilings. Built on stilts. All plumbing and electrical finishes as well as bedroom and kitchen cupboards. A deck. Gas Geyser, gas hob with electric oven. A veranda. My budget is tops R .00. Complete house and shell only with electrical and plumbing. I do not have plans but I do have a sketch (see attached). Must be a registered NHBRC builder. Building to be a building loan plot and plan with a bank.
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
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.
We require quotations to: 1. Build & plaster (or rhinolight) a solid boundary wall measuring 4 x 4 meters between an enclosed car parking space that separates two properties. 2. Re-build a 1 meter by half meter (one line) boundary wall with Corobrick clay bricks. I have estimated brick count of 78 at a price of R1.26 per brick. URGENT REQUEST: This project is urgent to mitigate a security risk & threat that has been raised & identified in a crime ridden residential area.
I have an existing balcony, timber, that needs to be demolished and a new balcony constructed (concrete) I already have approved building plans for it I'll forward pictures and videos of the existing balcony when you contact me. Kindly do so via whatsapp, I won't be able to answer my phone during the day.
Addition to existing studio / room in the roof. What is required is brickwork, roof, floor (pine), no sanding and painting, and the windows and door (Aluminium): Engineering drawing for pinning the roof against the walls. No plastering inside / only outside. No plumbing / no electricity / no bathroom / no balcony. Thats it, unless I prefer email contact for the quotes.
