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.

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.

I would like to enlarge the living room area and tear down a couple of walls as well as build new ones. Bathrooms would be halfed in order to make space for a larger walk in closet and a guest toilet. Kitchen island removed and a new one installed yet direction of the island would have to be modified. . New tiles in both kitchen and bathrooms…..Possibly some roof work needs to be done.
A water leak is coming from the first-floor bathroom. It has been leaking consistently for the past 6 months and we need to find out what the source is. We suspect that it is either coming from the shower base or the bathroom taps. Thank you. We have decided to replace the shower so the builder is going to check the leak as well Kindly CC me in the emails for quotes at
