Renovation contractor Pretoria & Centurion
Change the home without losing control of the project.
A successful renovation is not merely a collection of trades. It is a sequence of decisions, structural work, services, finishes and inspections that must fit together.
The Build Guy manages home renovations and house extensions across Pretoria, Centurion and selected Gauteng areas. We turn the required outcome into a defined scope, identify constraints early and coordinate the work from demolition to final finishes.
Whether you are opening up a living area, adding bedrooms, extending a kitchen, enclosing a patio or upgrading the whole property, the objective stays the same: a practical, durable result.
What we do

Home extensions
New bedrooms, living areas, kitchens, bathrooms and garages—from foundations and slabs through roofing, services and final finishes.

Budget reality
What affects a home extension price?
Square-metre rates alone are not a safe quotation method.
Structural changes, ground conditions, roof tie-ins, access, wet services, finish selections, municipal requirements and the condition of the existing home all change the real cost.
Frequently asked questions
Questions clients ask before renovating.
Do I need approved plans for a home extension?
Most extensions and structural alterations require compliant plans and the relevant municipal approval.
Can you manage all the different trades?
Yes. The managed scope coordinates building work, roofing, plumbing, electrical work and finishes.
Can we live in the house during the renovation?
Sometimes. It depends on dust, noise, service interruptions, access and safety.
How do variations work?
Changes outside the agreed scope should be described, priced and approved before additional work proceeds.
