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.

This is a commercial building that needs to be gutted and demolished completely on the inside and new furnishes need to be done including flooring on the whole of the inside and outside areas. This project has a strict timeline and I am requesting that I am able to get access to the building from the 1st of April and I am expecting hand-over by the end of April. Building is approx. sqm in size. I am also going to need the builder to be able to share their contacts to help with the finishes like windows, doors, etc.
I recently had a water break in a wall at my house which since been repaired. however the hole and resultant damage has not. What I need is a builder to repair and plaster the hole, someone to paint the wall and someone to repair and replace a water damaged cupboards and tiles. The hole is small and needs about 10-12 bricks on one side and a patch of about mmxmm on the other (it's a cavity wall). The cupboards are 3x double floor cupboards in Wenge wrap but all 6 doors are not damages, so it's just the carcass that needs replacing. The tiles are about 5-6m of vertical tiles mounted against the foot of the cupboard and possibly 20 or more square meters of floor tiles. the paint could also be around 10 square meters.

Need to build within a budget and will have to negotiate with builder what we can do with the funds we have available. Phase 1 plan attached that we need quote on.
