Everything you need to know about waterproofing your home

The project will be in the rural areas in Queenstown hence no municipal approval required. The size of the site is 60mX20m and front facing the east. The house will have 3 bedrooms(one the rooms with ensuite), open plan lounge and dining room, with the kitchen nicely hidden from the lounge but visible to the dining room area,double garage, bathroom and separate toilet, small scullery/laundry, small linen walking closet/storage place.
Hi We have a stand with a log cabin in Cape St Francis and would like to look at adding a more permanent brick structure onto it. The length is around 13,5m by 4.5m with a layout of potentially: a room 3.5m by 3m, shower/toilet 1.8m long, another room 3.5m by 3m this with a front section walkway of 1m wide and then the rest into a counter area for shelves or small kitchenette open storage/workshop space etc. The log cabin is apparently good for another 10 years or so, but we want to build this space onto it to eventually expand once the log cabin is end of life. Hence, we would like to understand the costs of this new section based on: 1. Ability to add on top double storey brick 2. Single storey only 3. Single storey brick and top storey wood. If the above has any price implications etc. If it is possible to understand a rough per meter cost for budgeting purposes that would be great thank you.
I need a 23m x 2.2m plastered boundary wall on Oak Ave,.out of SABS large cement blocks with the necessary brickforce. It requires a 4m gap for the gate .The only pillars will be on either side of the gate gap .The length of the actual construction is approximately 28m.There is an existing concrete base for a steel with a wrought iron fence . I will remove the fence.
We're looking at building a double garage, roughly 40sqm plus an additional parking, maybe length ways next to the left of the new garage, in front of an existing house.The problem is that there is granite underneath which will have to be excavated to road level and only then can the building commence. The only place available is to the right of the photo and there is a 1.5m building line. New steps to the top of the house will have to be constructed as well. Please see photos.

I want a big kitchen and lounge along with the dining room. The kitchen along with the lounge will be open plan and on the other side will be stairs with the dining table to eat. The second floor will be the rooms( )
Old roof sheeting is rusting, some sheets are almost rusted through. will need to replace the roof sheets with galvanized iron sheeting. area is aprox. 4.5m x 3.5m. Need a quote for 1) take off and remove old sheeting labour cost, 2) labour cost for putting up the new sheets, 3) quote should include cost of material as well (galvanized sheets, screws, washers etc.)
IRB waterproofing quote needed. Greetings to whom it may concern, I have a house with part of the roof being flat. The problem initially was the gutter connectors are to small for a large amount of water. Subsequently outlet avenues were made available as to alleviate the water buildup. I have had work done on the roof and recently had an assessor from outsurence asses the roof His recommendation is that a thorough waterproofing needs to be done as the waterproofing done last year is flaking and allowing some water to seep through. This needs to be sorted out and would request an assessment and quote in this regards.
Please tell me , do you also do ground work and construction of training centres and workshops ? For example we want to put up 1 qty x 50 meter x 50 meter x 6 meter high and 1 x 50 meter x 50 meter x 8 meter high. both of these 2 buildings will be about 6 meter apart but still next to each other .. With that I'm looking for deasant ground work , cement slabs inside for flooring at the highest standard as we want to use the 8 meter high shop / training centre with overhead cranes and heavy loads. The 6 meter will only be training centre with class rooms. with that all plumbing work and electrical work to be included... Will you be able to estimate quote on that ?
The thatched roofing will be used on a lodge with gumpole structure. The size on plan = 78m2 On a slope of 45 degrees = m2 I'm looking for a square meter rate that will be applicable for other units as well. Rate should include the thatch covering, the gumpole roofing structure as well as the gumpole columns.
Garage roof is rusted through in spots, leading to water leaking through, damaging garage wall and door (see pics). Part or all of the garage roof may need replacement. Original roof is galvanised mild steel. Floor size of garage is 32m2, so roof is slightly larger than that. Roof is only slightly sloped (see pic).
