Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
I own a property in Rustenburg, specifically in Waterval East, which I had undertaken to extend. Regrettably, the project encountered significant delays and issues caused by the previous contractor, including errors and omissions. Due to my work commitments in Limpopo, I was compelled to terminate the project prematurely. I am now determined to complete this endeavor by the end of the year and am actively seeking a contractor known for their integrity and expertise. It is with this purpose that I have reached out to you. I would like to inquire if your services extend to Rustenburg. If so, I would appreciate the opportunity to arrange a meeting at your earliest convenience. During this meeting, we can inspect the project site and discuss the feasibility of conducting a thorough takeoff and providing accurate estimates. The property in question is a single-story three-bedroom house with two bathrooms, a lounge, kitchen, and garage. I have since transformed the garage and a portion of the kitchen into a two-story structure. The core structure is in place, and the primary objectives are to rectify any previous errors and omissions to meet industry standards, as well as to complete final interior and exterior finishes, including landscaping.

I have the plans but they still need to be submitted to council. I have recently bought a plot in De Rust, where I would like to build a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home. Around sqm. I am going to be completely off grid and want someone that can integrate solar electricity and water collection systems into the build. I want a very simple and elegant build, open plan. I have a strict budget to stick to and will be building through means of a building loan through the bank. I am ideally looking for a turn key solution and want to avoid having to sub contract too much of the work. Thank you in advance for your quote.
