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 small single wall built and two bare walls plastered. I need two doors installed. I need the remaining walls cleaned up and skimmed. And then a little bit of patching and fix-up. Once the walls are ready we can discuss future work like painting, tiling, waterproofing and installing a shower, etc.
I am the architect for the project and I am requesting quotes from contractors. Large new free standing house at the Acres, Val de Vie. Total budget is approx. R8 . House size m2 to m2 under roof • 4 Bed • 4 bath all ensuite • Walk in dressing room in main bedroom • Guest toilet • 1 office • 4 garages • Servants quarters • Entrance hall • Lounge, • Dining room • Tv room • Kitchen • scullery • Separate laundry • Wine room • Pajama lounge upstairs • Mud room • Large patio • pool
Please help me. The builders didn't install a plastic (black plastic) in the foundation. The problem now is that the paint and the plastering is peeling off because of moisture. My house is in King Williams town. I need someone to advise whether the foundation will need to be redone or whether there is something else that can be done
owns a building in Lichtenburg with 3 bathrooms. Each bathroom has its own toilet and the male bathroom has a urinal as well. There is a nauseating smell coming from the male bathroom. The adjacent offices as well as the boardroom is severely affected by this. The toilets are also not flushing away all the toilet paper. We had a local plumber visiting the premises and his opinion is that we will have to replace all toilets as well as the urinal as the pipes and connections are too old and worn out. We are attempting to get this done through our building insurers. We urgently need your assistance with the following to submit our claim: The smell is unbearable • Damage report confirming the cause of damages for each item claimed • Quote to repair / replace
The scope of work is of simple and straightforward nature: 1. Outside tap is leaking between the copper pipe and the sealing nut. 2. Kitchen tap is also leaking, see attached photos for a better view 3. Main bedroom toilet, when you flush it sometimes water runs non-stop sometimes the operation works perfectly. You will be expected to provide a Bill Of Material as I will buy the material myself from the nearest plumbing supplier shop.
Good day I live at 37 Jim Fouche Rd, Constantia Kloof, Roodepoort. I am on an elevated part of the mountain and I have a neighbour who is below. I had a wall which collapsed. I have removed it since then. I need someone to look at the area carefully and analyse to determine what to build. I have an idea that I need a retainer wall at the very least. The last structural engineer i had look at it made some suggestions but I am not convinced it is the right one as it encroaches on my neighbours property. I do have permission from my neighbour, verbally but I need proper documentation to avoid any issues in future. I would like someone to come and have a look and do a thorough analysis as well costing of different scenarios. They need to be in the Roodepoort or very nearby areas. They need to have an excellent accumen, excellent documentation skills, clear communication and know exactly what to do and how to do it, i really don't want middle of the job surprises. I am not in a rush, I need a proper professional.
Firstly is roof which was damaged by floods. Ceiling boards, one bedrooms need tiling and build in cubboards. Kitchen cupboards with stove In some rooms ceiling board needs to be attended. In doors to be installed. Other pros to be discussed further. Need to get quotes first for best decision on the projects.
Please Whatsapp or email me, it will be quicker. I am unable to take calls. We will need to start with the builder and construction expert first, I need 3 different companies to come to see me so that we can give them all the information and take them to the building to show them what we want to do, I don't have the physical measurements etc with me.
Good day. We need to find a contractor that can attend to two matters: 1. A faulty chimney in a fireplace of an old house caused the loft floor and yellow wood beams to catch fire, some damage was done, not extensive. This floor needs to be restored to its original state and the chimney made safe / beams insulated for proper future use. 2. Leaking roof areas caused substantial internal damage, damp on walls and damage to meranti ceilings. These need to be restored to their original state and the roof repaired, ensuring all leaks are resolved. Location: Weltevreden Park, West Rand. Please can you come for inspection and quotes? Thank you. .
1. Demolish an existing house and build a new one in its place. 2. Demolish an existing rondavel and build a new one in its place. Works taking place on a farm. I still need to arrange for water drilling and installation of a septic tank outside as these properties will have bathroom facilities inside. I need quote for budgeting as works are planned to start in two years.
