BUILDING CONTRACTORS CAPE TOWN
Residential building work across Cape Town.
Dial-a-Contractor handles residential building, extensions, renovations and improvement work for private homeowners in Cape Town. Whether the job involves one builder or several different trades, we can organise the work required.
EXTENSIONS
Home extensions
Add bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, living areas or other usable space to your existing Cape Town home.
RENOVATIONS
Home renovations
Whole-home, multi-room and substantial renovation work involving building and specialist trades.
ALTERATIONS
Building alterations

MORE THAN JUST BRICKWORK
Residential building projects often need several different trades.
You should not have to find a separate contractor every time the project moves from one trade to another. Where required, Dial-a-Contractor can bring the different building and specialist trades into the same job.
General building
Foundations, brickwork, blockwork, plastering, concrete, alterations and associated residential construction.
Plumbing & electrical
Specialist services required for kitchens, bathrooms, extensions and other building work.
Roofing & waterproofing
Roof work, waterproofing, flashings, gutters and water-ingress protection linked to the project.
Finishes
Tiling, ceilings, flooring, painting, carpentry and other finishing work required to complete the job.
BUILDING IN CAPE TOWN
The property and the proposed work determine what needs to happen before building starts.
Extensions, structural alterations and new construction may require drawings, approvals or professional input. Existing homes can also reveal conditions that only become visible once construction begins.
Plans & drawings
Existing plans and proposed drawings can help establish exactly what is being built or altered.
Structural requirements
Beams, slabs, larger openings and structural changes may require appropriate engineering information.
Existing conditions
Older alterations, concealed services and previous repairs can affect the work once existing finishes are opened.
Approvals
Applicable municipal or other approval requirements should be established for the particular property and work.
CAPE TOWN HOME BUILDING
From a new room to a substantial residential build.
The right approach depends on the size and nature of the job. Dial-a-Contractor works with private homeowners across a range of residential building and improvement requirements.
Additional rooms
Add bedrooms, studies, bathrooms or other rooms to an existing home.
Living-area extensions
Enlarge kitchens, lounges, dining areas or family spaces.
Major alterations
Change layouts, create openings and substantially alter the way existing areas of the home are used.
Complete renovations
Renovate several areas of the property together using the appropriate building and finishing trades.
BEFORE ASKING FOR A BUILDING PRICE
The clearer the scope, the more useful the quotation.
Building quotations can differ because contractors are not always pricing exactly the same work. Plans, materials, specifications, finishes, allowances and exclusions all affect the final price.
Define the work
Be as clear as practical about what is being built, altered or renovated.
Check materials
Material quality and product selections can materially change the cost of the project.
Check exclusions
Understand what has specifically not been included in the building quotation.
Check allowances
Provisional amounts may change when the final product, quantity or actual site condition becomes known.

HOMEOWNER QUESTIONS
Common questions about building work in Cape Town.
Do I need plans before contacting you?
No. Tell us what you want to do and what information you already have. We can establish whether further plans or professional input may be required.
Can you handle several different trades?
Yes. Where the project requires builders, plumbers, electricians, roofers, tilers, painters or other trades, these can be coordinated as part of the work.
Can you renovate an existing Cape Town home?
Yes. Existing homes can be renovated, extended or altered depending on the property, proposed work and applicable requirements.
What if additional work is found?
Hidden conditions can sometimes only be identified once construction begins. Additional work should be discussed before it is simply added to the original job.
