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.
We are looking to add a flatlet onto an existing property. 72sqm is estimated size. 1 or 2 bedroom (with dressing room), 1 full bathroom, kitchen open plan to lounge/dining area. Please include plumbing, electrical, sewerage connection to municipal line. Does the rate per sqm also include for fittings, eg. sanitary ware, lights, kitchen sink, gas stove, electric oven, butchers block, geyser, etc?
There are currently small renovations such as door installations and tiling that is happening in my home currently so I will not be able to take calls.

1. Connect the cabin to the main building of the home to increase the space in the living room 2. Change the roof and with that break the middle wall separating the lounge and kitchen 3. move the kitchen to back of the wall so it faces the living room in an open plan style 4. Rework the roof configuration to express an A-frame look, with a window to let light in at the apex 5. Extend the roof over the patio to bring that area in as a living space 6. A part glass enclosure facing the pool 7. Extension of the main bedroom- a space in front and behind might provide added living space in the master suite below if budget allows 8. Wood cladding aesthetic on the walls to give a modern barn style look 9. Double garage with a way to link to the main home, with a foundation strong enough for a 2nd storey extension house can be viewed here

I am unable to take calls but I am reachable on email and Whatsapp. I have rooms in my area which need to be reconstructed. They are in poor condition now but I want to improve them by increasing their size, including a bathroom, sink, giza, good ceiling and tiles. I want to know the possible cost and then gather the amount. The only limit might be sizing, the size of the yard might not allow increasing of the size.
I have an old house that needs a face lift. It’s a 3 bedroom house. I need a quote on removing a wall between the kitchen and lounge to create an open plan space. I also need a quote on removing a wall between the toilet room and bathroom to create a one bathroom. We’d like to change the floors from carpet to vinyl throughout the house and update the popcorn walls to flat walls. Some of the walls have cracks in them and I’m not sure if they can just be plastered. We’d also like to update the bathroom and kitchen by adding new cabinets, basins, etc. Basically a full renovation. We are simply looking for quotes at this stage as we’d like to know how much we need before we can begin with the renovations
