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 have a storm water inlet (covered by a metal grid) on our driveway/parking area. Due to water-overflow or other reasons, the paving around the water-inlet got damaged (paving is sagging) . it might cause an open hole next to the water inlet and because it is in the middel of a driveway, might cause damage to vehicles. Suspect we need to support the paving with a concrete foundation around the water inlet.
Building a double story on existing house and extending on two sides. All areas under verandas will be fair face or exposed brick work. Perhaps some areas internally as well. This may create a bit of a problem in quoting on plaster work. The quote request excludes the scullery, adjacent garage and flatlet. Already built. I would prefer a LABOUR QUOTE only, for now.

I currently have a wooden deck which I would like to convert to concrete and tiles. I have estimated the square meterage to be m2, the ground slopes from level at the top left of the attached diagram to about 1m at the bottom right. The property is in Zimbali, but we are based in the UK. There is a small existing pool in the section without a number.
Fourteen living units in the complex, with more or less 3 rooms each. Five big windows per unit. Some safety grids and two small doors outside also need to be painted, 4-5 smaller windows (0.5 m per window) as well. We want to remove all the old paint as it has cracked severely. Some windows have cracks in as well that need to be filled in the process.
I had a corner bath but got someone to take out the bath and make it a shower, but now my wall is rotting all around the shower so I need everything taken out and I need a built in corner bath again. I am also thinking of retiling the whole bathroom, because of the walls rotting around the shower area.

Right-hand side. 1 x bedroom on the left and 1 bedroom on the right. Lounge and kitchen in the middle of the unit. Like a u-shape. Same setup on the left-hand side. In the middle a the back a butchery set up with a cold room. In the middle of the 2 units a fire place - boma set up. Nice but not the fancy.
