Hey dear, congratulations and well done to you & Hubby! I’m a Civil Engineer in Project Man. Construction & I totally agree with your tips! 1st one is called Allowance for Wastage. Ensure that when material is delivered on site it’s offloaded & keep in good condition as most suppliers are willing to credit you should you have surplus. Please make sure your plumber has a SOC or adequate experience especially with the sewer system, we literally had to do ours again when we built our village home. Pro tip for everyone, IBR is far more reasonable than roof tiling & a lot faster to install. Please ensure it’s clip lock coz the bolts tend to rust & corrode which will lead to leaks later.

I love these let's build videos. And you're a lovely host.

On advice, the contractor should complete slab/floor for the whole building just after the foundation before building walls. The structure becomes intact as a unit, and will behave as a whole when the building settles on soil as it gets heavier. The reinforcement is spread evenly across rooms during setting throughout the foundation and that compliments the slab integrity rather than having each room reinforced and filled separately. When the building settle, the passage and smaller rooms floor may be left up while the rest lowers, that will lead to continuous floor cracks that may affect walls in future. Also should there be unseen financial challenges, preference can be made on which rooms to complete first and leave the rest for later completion. My compliments..

Anathi, this is friendly advice (you may choose to apply it to your life or not, that's up to you), when working on something you are to NEVER reveal what it is that you are working on, especially going into the specifics of your business and revealing details. People can fight what you are doing spiritually out of jealousy, envy, hate, spite, and such things - I speak from personal experiences, I have been fought with witchcraft at a high level MANY times and seen my ideas fail due to revealing things before they manifest, ideas that were meant to succeed according to the LORD but failed due to my negligence. I advise you to be careful what you share - great teachers taught me to only share things like this ONLY AFTER EVERYTHING IS COMPLETE, then you can teach people how you did everything from scratch to the finish line if you will to do so. What you are doing is good, in fact it is great but I urge you to be careful and be very prayerful. May Yahweh LORD GOD All-Powerful bless you and prosper you mightily in the glorious name of Jesus Christ my LORD and Saviour.

Awesome, love that we can have a South Africa building and not America etc.. Great watch - Keep them coming - if you do one a week it will be great

Algorithm is doing you justice, first time coming across your channel and I'm impressed. I see your builder didn't reinforce the foundation, isn't that a concern?

I am starting to build soon so happy to come across your channel 🤍

I came here n its bcoz i wanted to get thee 2 room idèa house ...by the way i like this

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Amazing sis wami keep the great work coming, if you dont mind linking the person who did your house plan am also in that stage of planning aswell, thank you

❤❤❤❤

❤❤❤

1.5 for demolishing?😭...And then 1.5 for that entire floor?? 😭No way! I paid that per room.😭 Yoh, Niyajabula guys. 🥺

Piece of advice your contractor becomes a cement trader before construction even starts and you might buy your own cement from your contractor. So choose wisely who you hire for the job.😊

These builders are not good with estimating the required materials (that doesn’t mean they don’t know what they are doing). I had the same problem when i was renovating my house, and that hit me in the pocket because i end up spending way more materials than i had budgeted for. I like your idea of having a contingency budget of 30%

Architects don't charge R3500 for house plans, you probably engaged with a draughtperson. Let's try to get the professions correctly so that we are all well informed. Looking at your Crib it would be around R30k for the architectural drawings, also depending on the complexity. Great Video Though, very informative❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

I spent over 150k on roof because it was leaking had to redone it 😭, if you choose to go for tiles for your roof make sure you get people who know how to do the work

Thanks. Yoooo things are sooo expensive but what can we say

Nice

Thanks sisi and u are doing well can u plug me where u bought your aluminum windows I'm also building and base in Pretoria

use a quantity surveyor to get accurate cost.

Love love vlogs like these,🎉What is the name of your hardware where you got your windows??

Hi Anathi, I'm inspired. My brothers and I are planning to renovate our house. I just want to find out if you know how much roofing costs according to your house plan.

Great video, How many square meters is the house going to be?

New suby here .... love, this will be following along. Please share the architects details ❤

He charged R1500 to demolish the entire house

Yhoo bacheap abantu bakho shame ndibane ndikhuza qho xa ubiza iiprices zabo jonga mna ndisamile ngk ngoba kuphele imali bt k kushota kancinci ndiplatarishe nd paint then ndifake neetiles k otherwise akukho lula ukwakha❤

Can you please also share the people that you used.

Hi sisi well done, just 2 questions Name of the hardware you bought your windows. Are your builders willing to travel to other provinces

I'm not sure I missed it but may I ask, how many bedrooms are in this house? Enjoyed the video by the way

Please don’t use lentils over the garage, build a beam.

Small red clay bricks are the ones called mampara bricks nei..commonly used for foundation.. big block bricks are called just that, block bricks

Was plan of the house approved by ur municipal, dumping prove was not installed

Hi dear, if you dont mind me asking. Your house ke how many bedrooms and bathrooms? And the total square meters of the house?

Do I have to disclose that you've spent R130,000? Excellent. What number of rooms are in that house? Also, how many toilets?

Ii built with Block I regret. SMALL BRICKS ARE THE BEST. BLOCKS ARE HOLO INSIDE AND WEAKEN AFTER 5 YEARS BECAUSE OF AIR IN THEM

Dear your labour rates are so affordable… I need a plug 🙏🏾

R4 for a block? Damn.. here in kzn it's R8😫😫

I thought I'd see more videos of the process😢

So where was this?

Sana depression😢. Building is very costly yho😮

Mampara brick😂😂😂

Hi aren’t u concerned about getting a copy write strike with the music u play on the back round? Cos they’ll take all the money u make from ur videos
