Home builder Pretoria & Centurion
The site outside the walls can fail the building inside them.
A new house is not only its floor area. Ground conditions, levels, stormwater, vehicle access, retaining elements and external finishes all affect performance and cost.
The Build Guy coordinates new residential construction and exterior works across Pretoria, Centurion and selected Gauteng areas—from foundations and structure through services, finishes, paving and external drainage.
We define what is included in the building contract, what requires specialist design or approval and which site items must remain provisional until conditions are confirmed.
What we do
The house and the site, coordinated together.
Paving and driveways
Subgrade preparation, edge restraints, falls, drainage interfaces, paving installation and repairs to existing driveways.
Boundary and retaining walls
Foundations, walling, pillars, drainage considerations, copings, finishes and specialist input where the structure requires it.
Stormwater, patios and carports
Surface-water management, channels and downpipes, patios, entertainment areas and practical covered parking structures.
Ground levels are part of the build
Water must be directed away from the building.
- Approved plans, boundaries and setting out
- Ground conditions and foundation assumptions
- Stormwater routes, paving falls and outlets
- Retaining and boundary-wall requirements
- Vehicle access, storage and material logistics

Budget reality
What affects new-house and exterior-work price?
Building area is not the full development cost.
Ground conditions, plans and approvals, access, levels, foundations, roof design, services, finishes, paving, walls, drainage and provisional work all affect the quotation.
Frequently asked questions
Questions clients ask before starting a new build.
Do I need approved building plans before construction?
Yes. New residential construction requires compliant drawings and the relevant approvals before site work proceeds.
Can you price a new house from a sketch only?
A sketch can support early budgeting, but a reliable construction quotation requires dimensions, specifications and a defined scope.
Can exterior works be included in the main contract?
Yes. Paving, drainage, walls, patios and carports should be clearly described rather than assumed to be included.
What should remain provisional?
Items affected by unconfirmed ground conditions, hidden services, specialist designs or incomplete selections may need provisional allowances.
