Going for the cheaper option may not always be the best in the long run. Feel free to ask what products, tools, masonry and more are being used – after all, this is your house extension or building renovation! Getting your alterations done is wearisome enough, with the uprooting of your daily routine, cheaper may mean cutting costs on quality and more costs in the long run of cracks, damp and repairs.

Your building contractor should also have a thorough understanding of other teams that may be necessary to the complete the task at hand. Would you need building plan approval, a plumber, approval from your body corporate, will your renovations affect your neighbours? Questions that you are now prepared to ask and should be answered by your chosen renovations professional.

Important questions to ask your building contractor:
•    Have you previously worked on a similar alteration to this one?
•    What is your area of specialty when it comes to renovations? Extensions/ remodels/ office spaces?
•    Please can you provide me with references from previous client?
•    Can you give me a realistic timeline?
•    Who will I be able to contact throughout my home extension?
•    Will the extension be supervised?
•    What are your upfront deposit terms?

Need vs cost

Whether you build your dream property from the ground up, or creatively renovating an existing home or workspace to your liking, South Africans have not only created a diverse culture, but unique and beautiful properties too. With building prices soaring, redesigning an already built and pre-loved space may be friendlier on your pocket and offer a greater return on investment. Being aware of deadlines and unfortunately having to bear in mind that there is the likelihood of unexpected costs and delays working their way into your project (it hasn’t rained in 6 months, murphy’s law may be here to assist!)

Now that you have found the right team, you get to choose your new wall colours, décor and start planning when you will have a party to showcase your upcoming space!
