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.
Steelworks: See link for plan and measements: https://1drv.ms/i/s!Amd_eMpiyfpkpKQNyNeeOYvn3sSAMg?e=5udAIn The purpose is to be a barrier around my solar battery to prevent it being bumped by a car. I am not too fussy about the steal used (it needs to be galvanised), but if a car bumps it it should hold. (it is in the garage, so will be a soft bump) It is just the frame, no mesh or cover is needed. I have probably over-engineered the design, so happy to listen if you have a better approach. I think 20mm square or angle tubing will be plenty strong.
I would like to have a -litre high-pressure solar geyser system with tubes to replace the electrical one. The roof type is high pitch. I do not need the geyser timer because the electric one is already installed. Due to my busy work schedule, you may consider communicating either via email or whattup, if you do not find me on the cell phone.
I would like to renovate a non functional 3bed house. The 3 bedroom house has 2bedrooms on the right side, one in the middle. I wanna * move the 2 bedrooms to the left side, 1 must be ensuite *make a double garage on the right side where the bedrooms were * and a backroom or 2 the back if there's enough space There is no existing plan
I am not currently ready for a site visit, would just like an approximate quote for now based on the following information: I would like a quote for consideration on an 8kW Hybrid Inverter System with 10kWh of Battery and 8 by Wp Solar Panels. Roof is tile with a pitch if 15 Deg facing north, cable run 12m. Inverter in garage which is 6 meter from main DB
Existing W 24V pure sine inverter. 2 x W panels. 4x 12 V lead acid batteries. 24v 60A alternator on 10hp diesel motor supplies about W. I need 2 more W panels. Also 2x 3.5kW lithium 24V batteries. Existing 2 panels to be relocated for max perfomance. Sub DB from inverter handles 5 kW per day. I am hoping to sell the propert soon , therefore would not go to big. Would rather go fullhouse on my property in Port Elizabeth.
I have identified a residential land in Kuils River and I have a plan of building 10 70m² properties on the land. These properties will have to be modern affordable homes, a 2 bedroom house that will have garage/parking space and then some room where one can put a granny flat if they choose. I need a figure of how much would material and labour cost for such project, from start to finish.
We would like to build a 4 bedroomed, double storey house, X2 Garages, x2 Bathrooms, X1 large living space. House to be build in rural area, in Sterkspruit, +/- kms from Bloemfontein. However, there's no building plans except just a piece of land to build on. All I need is an idea of how much such a property could cost, building plans, landscaping and construction. Would also appreciate your advice and guidance.
