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.
Please help me. The builders didn't install a plastic (black plastic) in the foundation. The problem now is that the paint and the plastering is peeling off because of moisture. My house is in King Williams town. I need someone to advise whether the foundation will need to be redone or whether there is something else that can be done
Dear Sir/madam We have a problem at home. The roof is leaking.

Please email me and introduce yourself properly so that I can know who I am dealing with. I need waterproofing of 2 x apartment blocks.

Good day I live at 37 Jim Fouche Rd, Constantia Kloof, Roodepoort. I am on an elevated part of the mountain and I have a neighbour who is below. I had a wall which collapsed. I have removed it since then. I need someone to look at the area carefully and analyse to determine what to build. I have an idea that I need a retainer wall at the very least. The last structural engineer i had look at it made some suggestions but I am not convinced it is the right one as it encroaches on my neighbours property. I do have permission from my neighbour, verbally but I need proper documentation to avoid any issues in future. I would like someone to come and have a look and do a thorough analysis as well costing of different scenarios. They need to be in the Roodepoort or very nearby areas. They need to have an excellent accumen, excellent documentation skills, clear communication and know exactly what to do and how to do it, i really don't want middle of the job surprises. I am not in a rush, I need a proper professional.
Firstly is roof which was damaged by floods. Ceiling boards, one bedrooms need tiling and build in cubboards. Kitchen cupboards with stove In some rooms ceiling board needs to be attended. In doors to be installed. Other pros to be discussed further. Need to get quotes first for best decision on the projects.
Please Whatsapp or email me, it will be quicker. I am unable to take calls. We will need to start with the builder and construction expert first, I need 3 different companies to come to see me so that we can give them all the information and take them to the building to show them what we want to do, I don't have the physical measurements etc with me.
Good day. We need to find a contractor that can attend to two matters: 1. A faulty chimney in a fireplace of an old house caused the loft floor and yellow wood beams to catch fire, some damage was done, not extensive. This floor needs to be restored to its original state and the chimney made safe / beams insulated for proper future use. 2. Leaking roof areas caused substantial internal damage, damp on walls and damage to meranti ceilings. These need to be restored to their original state and the roof repaired, ensuring all leaks are resolved. Location: Weltevreden Park, West Rand. Please can you come for inspection and quotes? Thank you. .
Flat roof above garage, surrounded by a small parapet wall, the floor area is covered by tiles would like to have a complete waterproof coverage with the sides slightly against the wall to stop future leakage. The area is approximately 42 sq metres and I have at present leaking problems at the inner edge of the walls.
