Who says builders close on the 15th December?

When these walls start leaning over, it’s often because of a whole string of things that contribute.
In these images I show some of the problems one can look at to try eliminate it.

Most often it’s actually the soil and the foundation.

Looking over some plans of a house originally built in 1927.
This means we’ll have to submit to AMAFA the heritage committee in KwaZulu Natal.

Around here when a building is older than 60 years it has the potential of being of historic value and possibly protection worthy.
This has to be assessed and planned properly before any construction can be considered.

Standards are very important, even when we don’t like the imposed standards of others, like standards for building.

It gives a safe basis to start with and provides a guideline for minimum acceptable performance required.

To be remarkable raise your standards and don’t just meet minimum requirements.
