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.
Full renovation including kitchen remodel, small guest loo remodel, vinyl flooring for about sqm, paint all walls, stacker doors at entrance, new light fixtures, relining pool, enclosing an 8sqm courtyard to form part of the kitchen as a scullery, removal of pillars in the living area which take up unnecessary space (engineer has said its possible with box support beam).
I would like to remove a 4m long wall separating the kitchen and dining room area to create a more open plan house. I suspect I will need to put some sort of supporting beam at the top to support the roof structure. I live in a semi-detached house in the woosdtock area, the house is >60 years old and has high ceilings. I don't know where I would need to start to get approval for the change and plans to ensure I don't break anything. This is where I would like the most help. Finding a contractor thereafter is not something I'm worried about.

I have 2 wall sharing outbuildings. I would like 1 of the unit to have plumbing and electric completed. The plumbing pipes are already in place, just need connection in bathroom. Electricity needs to be pulled from main house to outbuildings. Then interior will need cementing in bathroom and main room(bachelor unit no walls besides bathroom). Roofing is in place, it's corrugated. Will need ceiling.
