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.
The house is already constructed. There is no finishing, no tiling, no ceiling, no electrical wiring its basically empty it's just an empty box. There is a double garage door, but there is no motor, no windows no doors, no painting, and no plumbing. I need a building company to do the finishing. Please feel free to contact me for more info. Thank you
I've already sourced 80% of the Material and only require labour. the following is required: - Foundation and brickwork - Plaster - Plumbing. The roof is asbestos. The project will be run by a strict timeline and the contractor need to run according to my payment schedule to avoid risk. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you
The idea for the house which we will use at retirement in a few years time would be as follows: --80--90m2 max total interior floor area. Ideally the house should face North to take advantage to the light and perhaps a bit of the mountain view. --3 bedrooms (one of which must be on ground floor should the design be for a two storey building to accommodate us should we not be able to access the second floor (due to old age, for example). --2 bathrooms --To be added in another phase perhaps: a garage (for one vehicle, but with additional space for a laundry and tiny workshop area). Access will be possible from the garage into the house. We came across a design on YouTube that we really feel captures most of what we are hoping for in the house. I have included the link to this on YouTube : https://youtu.be/cSIFIDb5loI

Currently, have a 2 bedroom home, and my plan is to extend the house to a double-storey. I want a three-bedroom at the top, a master bedroom with an ensuite and another bathroom for kids. Then downstairs, I want an open plan kitchen, dining room, lounge, and another toilet for visitors. I have an existing house plan though. Thank you, I will be waiting for your call.

We require a cost estimate for the building of the new residential house. The land we have allows for a duet house and the architects have designed it in such a way the house looks like one unit however it is split. I need registered contractors to execute the plan. Please feel free to email the quotes and then we will take it from there.
Good day I need a gardening service to service our office garden. They will have to trim the trees and clean the yard and the paving and maintain the garden as a whole. It should be 3 times a week. Preferably Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and taking out the garnish bin when the municipality collects.
