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.
We have a unit that originally had a balcony (1.2m x 4.0m), that the previous owner closed up with hardwood floors. We want to return it into a balcony: remove the windows, return the balcony floor to the original concrete, and install a sliding door again. We already had the wooden floorboards removed, but we need a quote on: - Removal of screed (where the floorboards used to be) - Finishing of the drop / sliding door cill, from the inside of the apartment to the balcony floor (where the sliding door frame will be installed) - Finishing of the balcony floor (smooth concrete, as it was before, is OK) to make sure that any rain will flow to the original draining pipe. - Cleaning of screed/rubble. Please see the attachments. We need measurements and briefing with the sliding door installation company to happen tomorrow (Wed 13 Dec). But we are flexible with the job start time (either this week before Friday or in middle January) For now, we only want a quote on the screed removal / return to concrete flooring / preparation for the sliding door frame. Depending on the quality of the job, we will consider you for the removal of the windows and finishing of the exterior wall (once the sliding door is installed).

We would like to have our garden weeded, cleaned and the soil turned on the perimeter of our home, please. There are leaves and debris from quite a few trees that were trimmed today (Friday) We would like the mound/garden refuse compost heap at the rear of our property to either be used or disposed. There may be additional items to be done
We'd love to change the design, install a whole new roof. Perhaps extend the height, I'm wondering if you do other stuff besides the roof. Like painting the house, installing tiles on the wall, pavement, floor tiles, kitchen units installation etc. We're looking on renovating the house but we're comparing the prices for now.
Remove existing toilet, pedestal basin and taps, medicine cabinet, 2xtowel rails, hand towel holder, toilet paper holder and toothbrush holder. Replace above. The pedestal basin is replaced with a cabinet basin. I am out of town from December 23 through 30, so any time before or after that would be great.
This is a very old property and it’s one of those old Hutton properties where everything needs to get sorted out from the electrical stuff I mean the electrics in the house is just appalling it needs a solar rooftop thing, there’s air locks in in the system so there’s often times where we don’t get water. There’s a lot that needs to be done

What is worse is the sewer and storm water drain pipes they release in the yard. It looks like there is a blockage in house pipes. Can you kindly send me a quote please see how i get affected.
Inside the yard Left side - lawn maintenance and planting of flowers at the edge of the lawn next to the wall. Removal of rubbish dump Right side - uneven ground that requires flattening of the ground, planting of half of the lawn which is infiltrated by weeds. Outside the yard Left side - maintenance of lawn and flowers Right side - 2m X 70m requires new lawn and wall floors
The intention is to build a high -end market self catering chalets, roughly 8 three bedroomed with one building(9th structure)serving as the admin quarters. Currently the plot is vacant but a construction company has already been appointed while some administrative necessities are being complied with at Municipal level. The idea is to create a beautiful environment which provides each chalet with necessary privacy and the whole establishment with charming ambience.
