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.
Good day. I recently bought a property in Gansbaai and would like to construct a steel frame, double-storey, simple and cost-effective house. The plans are in the works. - No garages required, - 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms - ground floor, - Kitchen and lounge must be on 1 st floor, - Open plan, - Cost effective building (steel frame, container, modular etc). Thank you,
The complete roof must be replaced with Diamond ck. A quote for Material and a quote for Installation to complete. All the work. I do have a certified asbestos company that will remove the current asbestos sheeting. Dont quote on that but all the rest Please. Attached the Drawings on old Photo. and some dimensions.Many Thanks. Die mates is Lengte 15.0m Breedte 10.5m Die pitch is 35 grade bo die horisontaal. Ek het die dakhoogtr uitgewerk as 3.6m. Die gedeelte op die nok is 5.4m. I have Drawings how can i share
Double store. Top floor: Balcony back and front, private lounge with sliding door. 1B/r (5X4) with sliding door, 2 smaller B/rd all b/r with ensuite. Bottom floor; double garage open plan lounge, dining and kitchen, pentry guest toilet, b/r (4X5) with sliding door on balcony. Scalary with separate entrance but walk undercover.

We need to build a modern house with protruding walls on the front of the house with a braai patio and corbeling design. The kitchen should have a centre island and be an open plan flowing into the living and dining room. Three bedrooms with the maid's room with a separate entrance. Double garage with space for storage cabinets. We have put the plans in the works
Good day i need some assistance regards to a quotation for my roof . my house is insured by auto/ general The pass winter we had some water leakage from the ceiling and due to the heavy rains it left a hole in the ceiling ,so then we knew that somewhere on the roof there might be a leakage, thats why the water was coming through the ceiling , all our rooms are now moulded , Please can you send someone out to come and give us a quote , regards
Please refer to the attached brochure. I am planning to build a house similar to Appluase 26 but with a balcony similar to the grande, coastal hamptons and modern with a balcony. Downstairs will be dedicated to social family spaces, with a large gourmet Kitchen overlooking an open area flowing seamlessly to the wide Outdoor Living. Upstairs there are four Bedrooms, with a separate Study and two Bathrooms. width 9.08m (incl. nib wall) length 17.73m total area .62m2 26 squares
It's a modern architectural design, built using Cement slabs as a base. Size of about - square meter . Building structure to be cost effective. Attention to detail to be on interior including kitchen, ceiling, flooring and bathroom. I have attached pictures of how the design should look but still waiting quotation from the architect on the final design.
I am planning on building a single story house. 4 bedrooms 3 full bathrooms 1and one half bathroom. master bedroom with en suite and walk in closet. All bedrooms should be spacious with good size closets. 3 car garages. Open plan living, dining and kitchen. Media room, pantry and laundry room. Love the L shaped house because I want it to surround the pool area. the architects were contacted, but still waiting for the plans.
The roof is leaking, upon my inspection i discovered that that the tiles are not even. When is raining heavily that is when the leaking is taking place. I suppose that the roof tiles needs to be fixed and be places in a correct way. the project can take one day to be fixed because is a small portion.
Good morning, I need roof replaced. It has leaked endlessly, and none of the contractors who have patched it have succeeded in keeping it from leaking. We have patched every year, and every heavy rain comes right in. Recently, I requested re-roofing quotes from a number of contractors, and every single one refused to quote on re-roofing and quoted instead on torch-on and other patchwork solutions (which I explicitly asked not to receive). Please do not do this when you quote me! I find it disrespectful. I know that the problem is predominantly at the pitch change where the gradient becomes shallower. It is a construction flaw, as there is little to no overlap, and there is no flashing under the ridge. A look at any construction manual will make the issue crystal clear. Rather than re-roofing, I would now like a quote on changing the design of the roof. Ideally, I would like to raise the height of the roof to accomodate a single pitch from the apex to the eaves. I know that this requires an architect's involvement. The increased pitch should also accomodate an attic under the apex, so the apex height will need to go up at least 1m. The parapet walls will need to be knocked off to allow for this. Steel trusses may be needed instead of wood, but I am open to suggestions. I am a teacher, so this needs to be a cost-effective solution. I am not looking for a fancy loft, just an attic, and it does not need to cover the entire roof space, only the centre of the room. See attached floor plans. My first thought for roof material is pre-painted green IBR sheets, cut to the exact length, but if thatch, shingle or tile, for example, is more cost effective, I am open to advice. PLEASE DO NOT CALL, as I am in Uzbekistan. Email is fine. Regards,
