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.
When I was renovating my mom's house. IBR was costing R7k less, we had to use tile instead and till this day, we never had a leak. Labour difference was R3k.
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..
I'm a guy and the only thing that's on my mind is a beautiful house, I love houses, I don't even think about cars or anything else but a house.... Thank you for the video..
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.
Thank you so much for this, I appreciate that you took the time to impart this knowledge on me in the most kindest and respectful way possible. I will take precautions going forward Bhuti, ndikuvile andizenzisi, I wish I could reach out to you to further engage, but I am not seeing an email address on your channel. Thank you so much for this, I needed to hear it 🙏
I bought material n been telling people about my double stories house...it's been two years now...I get money but it seen like something is holding me back....in Jesus name this year I'm building it...
@@leonardntokozomahlalela2150 work quietly, people who are not involved in your plan are not to know what you are up to. People have been holding you back spiritually. Keep your plans to yourself and talk to GOD about them and your spiritual father and mother (if you have them) because they pray for you.
@AnathiB I support the guy’s sentiments it’s a bit tricky for us as black people to be this transparent at an early stage. I myself am building, I’m 2years in and no one knows except for the people that are assisting me, I’ve never posted or spoke out publicly on the project seemingly for the reasons stated by the guy above. We are happy for you and thankful for such insight. Just be careful ❤ love and light on your project…😊
Hi B I love how you have detailed everything. Am based JhB but originally from Matatiele in the EC , I Wana build my parents a small home but just don't know where to start . (The planing in General)
I am glad it was helpful. Start with quotes so that you know roughly how much you will need especially if you don’t want to get stuck during the process ungekagqhibi, best of luck, make it happen
This project is very interesting indeed, Anathi that (42,5N) N is not Newton is Normal Strength Cement you also get 42,5R which is rapid hardening cement
Thank you so much for this video ❤❤ knowing the detailed costs really help us plan better as well. And congratulations!🎉🎉 God bless you and your family
We did roofing at home. We also broke up a large master bedroom and got a smaller bathroom out of it and an additional bedroom. But when I tell you it all cost over R200k because I wasn't wise with some decisions. Yho. But I'm subscribing here because I want to watch your journey. I'm gonna need your guys when I build my own house 😅
Building is very expensive yohh and if you have never done it before you go into it not knowing just how expensive it is. Congrats on your renovations 😁🤗
I'm happy for you & your family. Hope you enjoy your home safely. I work in construction, the amount of corners that you guys have cut here to achieve these epic savings!!!!!! All the best
R1.5k for demolishing alone is just scary.. The rubble still to be picked & thrown away.. The initial contractor def lost a lot of money, shame! Loving the vlog.
Hi... I'm a brand new subbie... ❤ I love how low key you are ( I saw your other vlogs)... you're not extra ... but you know your story. You are YOU. ❤ ❤❤❤❤
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
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?
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.😊
Thank you for the video, where are you building, i heard you mention Pretoria, the pricing you contractor gave is good and would love to use them on my next project, do provide the contacts.
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%
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
@@AnathiBas I was watching and hearing how reasonable they are, I thought I'd ask. I'm glad I always go through comments to get my answer. I'll definitely check them out, glad they're just 15min away. Thanx for sharing ❤
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.
Building is South Africa is cheaper,you guys are blessed...I'm currently building in Zimbabwe and for a cottage only we have spent x2 of your cost.not talking of the main house 😢
Thank you so much Bhuti. We bought the windows from Smart Builders in Valhalla Centurion. With regards to the builders, let me find out from them and let you know

Hi, thank you so much for the additional tips, I appreciate them so much. We will definitely look into clip lock, I had no idea it even exists
What is IBR? And what is the life span for it compared to roof tiling?
Thank you for additional tips
Didn't know you get a clip lock, people who used IBR in the rural EC always complain of leaking..
When I was renovating my mom's house. IBR was costing R7k less, we had to use tile instead and till this day, we never had a leak. Labour difference was R3k.
