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.
Hope you well. I got your number from Waqas, he said you built his bathroom and he is happy with it. Was hoping you could help us out as well I intend to build a 3 room/lounge and bedroom with attached bathroom extension to a currently standing house. Lounge: 10 x 7m Bedroom: 7 x 7m Bathroom: 5 x 4m Please could you advise me on how much would this cost incl labour and materials etc. Please do advise the difference in cost if we build a double storey instead of single. Further to above what is your payment structure/ how much do you want upfront and how much at the end? Regards Ali

I have a single story, 3 bedroom house with a single garage. I plan to extend the house forward by 90sq or so and to build up, over the extended 90sq + an additional sq (to include the main bedroom and 2 additional bedrooms, with bath/shower etc.) of an existing home. I plan to add an additional garage as well, would like to remove the old swimming pool, and build a bigger one.
We're purchasing a home in Westdene and a general home inspection revealed some defects in the roof. We'd like a specialist to inspect and advise on the extent of the defect (how critical it is), give options on fixes and estimate the cost of fixing it. This is quite urgent (we need this done by Wednesday next week).

I want to build a 3 bedroom house with a full bathroom (shower, bath, toilet basin), another separate toilet, open plan kitchen, lounge & dining area. Wash room for washing machine and tumble drier and a big stoep. The whole house must be spacious and accessible to someone in a wheelchair. Double garage and under cover parking to give someone in a wheelchair access to the house when raining, snowing etc. A fire place, gas geyser and gas stove and a old fasion wood stove. I am considering borehole water. I have a VERY tight budget as I will use money that will be paid to my special needs daughter to make this possible for her. I don't want a sink roof and no gutters but rather the roof hanging over the sides of the house for severe weather conditions. Thermal roofing and wood laminated flooring for the house except kitchen and bathroom and stoep. I want to do this for my daughter that I may know that no matter what, she'll always have her grant and a roof over her head. She loves the country. I want to give her that.
Good day, I am needing a quote for the building of a granny flat in the back yard 2 Bedroom 1 Full bathroom Dining room / Lounge Area Kitchen The quote has to include the following : The price to have the plans drawn up and passed Sanitary ware Electrical Plumbing Ceilings Tiling throughout
We have a two bedroom, 1 bathroom home. My parents room does not have a bathroom, but the room is flush against the the backyard, so it would be perfect to have a bathroom with a shower/toilet/basin lead out that way. Then, we have built an outside structure(no plans), where this is being used temporarily as extra indoor space, very small, enough for a desk and 3/4 bed. Here we would like to create a proper structure thereby creating another room with a sliding door that leads out to the yard. We have built an awning that can fit 3 cars, so using this, maybe we could build a deck as there is a new view above a certain height that one can view the mountain range from. Thanks, Mr.
