I require a custom desk setup built in a small space in a bedroom. The size of the area is not more than 2m2 and already has an existing desk setup (vanity desk built into room corner). I want a new setup where the desk is lower and extended with shelving. Existing drawers can be resized and reused. Pictures of the area will follow on WhatsApp. I would like an estimate on pricing for this job.
We would like to modernize the front elevation of our existing single-storey suburban home while maintaining a warm residential appearance rather than a commercial or business look. The project includes upgrading two existing vehicle entrances (a garage entrance on one side and a secondary parking entrance on the other), replacing existing gates with modern low-maintenance steel gates, refreshing and repainting boundary walls, improving the landscaping with drought-resistant and low-maintenance plants, and potentially upgrading sections of the driveway paving. Security and durability are important considerations due to the South African environment, so we prefer robust, low-maintenance materials that are resistant to theft and vandalism. The design should remain practical, family-oriented, and easy to maintain while creating a more contemporary street presence. Existing mature trees will be retained and incorporated into the final design where possible. The project may also include exterior lighting improvements and feature landscaping to enhance curb appeal and security.

I am looking for an experienced builder for a small renovation project in Cyrildene, Johannesburg. The work includes demolishing a non-load-bearing wall next to the kitchen, removing the rubble, building new walls for a relocated bathroom, and repairing the affected floor, ceiling and walls. The bathroom will be moved only a few metres away. The sewer and plumbing position has already been checked and confirmed. Plumbing can be handled separately. I mainly need a reliable builder for demolition, brickwork, plastering, waterproofing, tiling and general finishing. Please provide an itemised quotation for labour, materials, rubble removal and the estimated completion time. Please also send photos of similar work and contactable references.

The project is an extensive sqm+ double-storey exterior renovation. It focuses heavily on defect repair, damp-proofing up to 2m, and a complete resurfacing from rooftop to foundation to protect the structure from the elements. Phase 1: Surface Preparation & Paint RemovalScraping: Completely strip all loose, peeling, and degraded existing paint down to the raw plaster using high-pressure washing, mechanical grinders, or manual scrapers.Cleaning: Wash the walls to remove dust, dirt, and salts.Safety: Erect scaffolding or elevated platforms, as this is a double-storey building Phase 2: Crack Repair & SealingRaking Out: Widen existing cracks to allow for deep penetration of sealing materials.Sealing: Fill all cracks and voids using a flexible, waterproof elastomeric sealant or crack filler (extending from the rooftop to the base).Waterproofing Membranes: Embed reinforcing polyester membranes over larger joints and structural stress points for added durability. Phase 3: Waterproofing & Damp Protection (Base to 2m)Foundation Perimeter Excavation: Lightly expose the base of the exterior walls to ensure total coverage.Bituminous or Liquid Rubber Application: Apply a heavy-duty, rubberized bitumen or flexible liquid waterproofing membrane (like Sika or Plascon systems) around the base and up to the 2-meter mark on the ground-floor walls. This serves as an impenetrable barrier against rising damp and groundwater. Phase 4: Priming & PaintingSanding: Sand the newly repaired and waterproofed surfaces to create a smooth, even texture.Priming: Apply a high-quality alkali-resistant primer or plaster primer to bind the surface and prevent future paint peeling.Topcoats: Apply two coats of high-grade, UV-resistant exterior acrylic or textured waterproofing paint (e.g., Dulux Weatherguard or Plascon Wall & All).
Conversion of an existing double garage and outbuilding into a residential dwelling. The existing brick structure and concrete slab will remain. The project includes constructing new internal partition walls, complete electrical rewiring with a new distribution board, plumbing for one new bathroom, installation of a basic melamine kitchen, and converting the existing garage into habitable living space. The existing bathroom will remain in its current layout (needs a door into existing garage), with only a new toilet and new taps installed (existing tiles, shower and basin to remain). The roof requires waterproofing, replacement of roof screws where necessary and repainting, but no roof replacement is required. Works also include installation of new aluminium windows and external doors, laminate flooring throughout, plastering and painting of new walls, and making good all finishes. No built-in bedroom cupboards are required, only standard kitchen cupboards. The existing structure is generally sound, and the project is a renovation and conversion rather than a new build. Quotes should include all labour, materials, electrical and plumbing compliance certificates, and contractor supervision.
This is just the basic list of the quote required we working with a budget so depending on quote work will be done in stages 1. Convert the patio and garage into a flatlet/Staff Quarters 2. Existing lounge to bedroom remove window and replace with sliding door arch to be bricked closed, move the existing window to another bedroom. 3. Bathroom made bigger 4. Smaller window in Kitchen 5, New garage build 6. New covered patio
I am looking to renovate my home. It is a very old house that I am currently looking to modernise. This would entail getting a pro’s plan first to see how the transformation would go. Currently the renovation would include changing window frames from old to aluminium for the whole house, adding verandas where possible, changing the roof completely to align with the new design etc. I will share the pictures when you reach out so you can see the house as it is at the moment
