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.
The house is already constructed. There is no finishing, no tiling, no ceiling, no electrical wiring its basically empty it's just an empty box. There is a double garage door, but there is no motor, no windows no doors, no painting, and no plumbing. I need a building company to do the finishing. Please feel free to contact me for more info. Thank you
I have a flat corrugated roof on my outbuilding, I have issues where water is dripping down the walls when we have excessive rainfall, recently hire a pro who use rubberized waterproofing and did not do a good job, so I am a lost for words and who and what to trust. I am in need of a professional that will do a good job. Please feel free to contact me for more info. Thank you
I've already sourced 80% of the Material and only require labour. the following is required: - Foundation and brickwork - Plaster - Plumbing. The roof is asbestos. The project will be run by a strict timeline and the contractor need to run according to my payment schedule to avoid risk. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you
Remove existing paint-prep surfaces of walls and ceiling. Total size about 50m2. Size estimates: Wall1: cm x cm = 12.1 m2 Wall2: +- cm x cm (inc door/window post) = 4.3 m2 Wall3: cm x = 8.6 m2 Wall4: cm x cm = 3.5 m2 Wall5: cm x cm = 4.3 m2 Ceiling: xcm + xcm = +- 17.2 m2 We are looking to have this work completed before the end of April.
The idea for the house which we will use at retirement in a few years time would be as follows: --80--90m2 max total interior floor area. Ideally the house should face North to take advantage to the light and perhaps a bit of the mountain view. --3 bedrooms (one of which must be on ground floor should the design be for a two storey building to accommodate us should we not be able to access the second floor (due to old age, for example). --2 bathrooms --To be added in another phase perhaps: a garage (for one vehicle, but with additional space for a laundry and tiny workshop area). Access will be possible from the garage into the house. We came across a design on YouTube that we really feel captures most of what we are hoping for in the house. I have included the link to this on YouTube : https://youtu.be/cSIFIDb5loI

Hi, I am looking for a quote to paint out my house and garage as well as the roof. The house has a brick bottom and the top section of the house needs painting. The roof is a zink roof on both the garage and house. The house is a pitched roof and the garage is a flat roof. Would the colour of the paint make a difference as I would like to paint the house a charcoal colour with white trim (windows)? Look forward to hearing from you. Please note I am not always on my phone but if you leave a message if you cannot get hold of me I will call you back otherwise you can send me a quote via the email address supplied. Thank you '

Currently, have a 2 bedroom home, and my plan is to extend the house to a double-storey. I want a three-bedroom at the top, a master bedroom with an ensuite and another bathroom for kids. Then downstairs, I want an open plan kitchen, dining room, lounge, and another toilet for visitors. I have an existing house plan though. Thank you, I will be waiting for your call.
