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.
Hello I've got the metal roof that still needs to be redone and I'm not sure what type of roof is inside the house it's a normal roof white but I think water somehow went into the roof now it's just sitting there and causing my lights not to work and there's a leak next to the light bulb holder. I just need a quotation to see more or less how much it would cost to repair it.
Create an open planned kitchen and living areas by removing 3 walls. Renovate the current outbuilding into the bedroom Create a new single living room between current buildings (thus joining the 2 current buildings together. I hope I am making sense but I will discuss all the details with a professional.
I live on a farm, nearest town is Hoedspruit. We are situated between the shop Blue Bottle, and Kampersrus (if you know the area, this is the best estimation I can give, but will send a pin drop if I accept a quote). I need a quote to maintain our yard's lawn. It is a sloping yard with one tree, but the tree does not need maintenance, it grows fairly slowly. It does have massive seeds that it drops off, but that is not a difficult thing to pick up. I basically need the lawn to be cut every 2 weeks, and the weeds pulled. There are no flower beds to maintain, it is just the lawn and weeds.
After 1-2 days of continuous rainfall in our area water has somehow penetrated one section of our tiled pitched roof on the eastern side of our house and dammed up in a pool about 1 square meter wide on the inside of the lounge ceiling below from where it has saturated the surrounding ceiling board and dripped through nail holes into the lounge.
It will be a 2 part build over different periods. 1st part will be the house, 3 bedroom ( all with on-suite bathrooms), open plan kitchen lounge and dining room, scullery/laundry room. 2nd part will be the Garage, this will be a 3 door, but with a large amount of space inside as I will be working on my private projects so this does need space. It will also include a bathroom and small kitchen area.
Build a patio, install pivot, sliding doors and two windows and build stairs where necessary. Paint interior walls and doors, new flooring with vinyl, Decorative ceiling and steel balustrades as well as paving. Basically, there's a lot that needs to be done around the house. I need a well-established company that can deliver on time. Hope to hear from you soon.
