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.
I want to have a small (80-m2) single story, 2 bedroom house designed and built in Green Pastures Knysna and I would like a rough quote per square meter for building costs. I would also like to go and view houses built by the construction company to see how they build if possible. My budget is severely restricted so It is imperative to stay within this size range.
I would like to remove the bath and install a walk in show. Replace basin and toilet and retile the floor and walls. Install a vanity and towel rail. Window needs to be reduced and new windows installed. I already have the tiles needed. You can call or email me. I am quite busy and not always able to answer calls.
I bought a house that I have to move in. I doubt wether the stability of its electrical connections as the appliances such as air conditioners and built-in radio were ripped off their mountings. There's power on the building and all other equipment like sliding gates,pool pumps,.Stove and lights in the house are working. I require information to ensure that there isn't any loose strands of open ended live wires that may electrocute or set the house alight.

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.
