We always dreamt about building our own house. But when the moment finally came, even the thought of building a house from scratch was more than overwhelming. And all those horror stories about cawboy contractors... It really makes you think twice. But then my friend recommended using one of those "compare quotes" services. I came across Procompare online. I thought, I'll give it a go. I was surprised at how quickly builders contacted me. And on top of that they were all locals. After talking to them and some word-of-mouth recommendation, we went with Mr Mpho. So far, all is going smooth and according to plans. There were some bumps on the way, but Mpho handled it all very professionally, so we are completely confident he will continue in this way until the end. All I can recommend is get several quotes and go for a quality contractor.

Sizane and his crew extended our house. They did a great job, great value for money and a top quality finish. All works conducted in good spirit and all the team were all very polite and helpful. I can only recommend their services.

We were looking for a builder to remodel our home. After several quotes from Procompare and careful consideration we decided to go with Mr Trevor. Couldn’t be more pleased with the work that has been undertaken by him and his crew. I highly recommend him.

Before starting to build a house, you must have: a site plan, layout drawings, a fire installation drawing, drainage installation drawings, particulars of any existing building or structure that is going to be demolished (and you need to state how it will be demolished), and any other plans and particulars that your local authority requires.
NHBRC is the National Home Builder's Registration Council. Its function are to keep a register of home builders, oversee the construction of residential homes to see to it that proper building standards are adhered to and to provide a warranty service for major structural defects. Any new build in SA requires you to have NHBRC registration.
The construction contract should include at least: the name of the contractor and contact information, the name of the homeowner and contact information, description of property in legal terms, the cost, description of the work, the completion date and the right to stop the project.
Please advise with regards to your building contract structure. If I purchase the full housing contract package, then do the builders supply their own material. For example cement, paint etc.? Please advise on all the different options and how it impacts pricing.
Building quotes please. See plans attached. Need registered builders only.

Looking to get a builder or contractor to build a house on the piece of land
I live in an old Victorian house. It’s a grade IIB listed property. I’ll be doing heritage-approved renovations. I’m looking for a builder that understands the requirements for these old homes as all building work needs to be sympathetic to the materials used in these houses (ie, lime mortar and plaster). Portland cement cannot be used as part of this project. Airplast is a good project that should be used instead, so a builder with knowledge of this product or similar is essential.
Whole roof underlay to be replaced with superior quality, temperature controlling material. Valley messed up by previous builder to be fixed. Considering to have parapets knocked off as they have always leaked, resulting in interior damage to steel door frames, etc. Patio to be changed into a room (roof, ceiling and aluminium sliding doors). Flat roof of braai room to be changed to a pitched tile roof like the rest of the house with sliding doors and windows(for better ventilation), overlooking the swimming-pool. 3 x Bathroom makeovers In the middle of the tandem double garage is the parapet wall which hosted the previous two steel roll-up doors. This complete wall must be removed, but then the trusses of the front garage will need support over a distance of about 7m. The complete garage needs a ceiling. The raw cement floor needs levelling and either epoxy coted, tiled or painted. There are a few minor jobs, e.g. removing rusty steel doorframes, cracks in walls and ceilings, damp problems, replacing a few windows and doors, erecting concrete platforms for water tanks, etc. Electrical changes and additions will of course be needed.
