Choose the work you are planning. Each service explains the scope, the decisions to make and the next step.
New builds
New homes built from approved plans, NHBRC enrolled, priced per square metre by the level of finish. A 40 to 60 m² build typically takes about two months on site.

How we work.
From the first visit to sixty days after the last day on site. Every project we take on runs through the same seven steps, in the same order. You will always know which step we are on, what comes next, and what is owed. These steps form part of our building process. Quotations for bond or home-loan applications have a separate preparation fee, agreed before the visit. Read the quotation fee policy.
Site visit and scoping
We come to you, measure, photograph and listen. The work is scoped on site so that nothing is assumed and nothing is guessed at later. No charge, and no obligation at the end of it.
The proposal
A written scope of works setting out exactly what we propose to do, in the order we would carry it out.
The quotation
Priced against that scope and itemised. Not a lump sum, but a line for each part of the work, so you can see what each part costs and decide what you want and what you do not. The price is fixed for the agreed scope and stated allowances. Changes to scope, allowances or unforeseen work are explained and agreed in writing before we proceed.
The work plan
On your approval we issue the work plan: the programme and the cash flow together. The sequence of the work, dated, with the payments set against it, so you can see what falls due and when. A deposit when you sign, then a payment as each stage is completed, never ahead of the work.
Works execution
We build it. Where the scope allows, we plan the work so you can stay at home. We agree access, temporary arrangements and any need to move out before work starts. We protect what we are not working on, screen for dust, and clean up at the end of every day rather than at the end of the job.
Snag work
We walk the finished work with you, list anything that needs attention, and close every item on that list before we ask for the final payment.
Handover and workmanship guarantee
All work is backed by a 12-month guarantee covering the quality of our workmanship. We come back at sixty days and put right anything that has failed through our workmanship, at our cost.
What your written proposal walks you through
After the site visit you don't get a one-line quote. You get a proposal that covers the whole job in plain language, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you:
- 01Your needs, in your own words
- 02What we found on site
- 03What's actually causing the problem
- 04The proposed scope of work
- 05How we'll deliver it, cause before cosmetics
- 06An indicative programme, week by week
- 07Concept options to react to, modelled in SketchUp
- 08Indicative pricing, with no hidden extras
- 09Assumptions and exclusions, in writing
- 10Clear next steps, then you decide
Any variation along the way is agreed in writing before we proceed. It's the same discipline we bring to the build, applied to the paperwork.

Ready to improve your Cape Town property?
Start with a free site visit, clear direction on scope, timeline and budget before you commit.
Site visits are free. Standard construction quotations follow a visit and agreement from both sides to explore working together, without committing to the works. Bond or home-loan quotations carry a non-refundable preparation fee agreed before the visit. If FN is appointed subject to bond approval and the bond is approved, that fee counts towards the deposit.
