The floor had tiles in all the rooms and Plascon painting in and out. Plumbing and electrical is to be fitted.

M150 blocks for walls
Roof by specialist and tiles by double roman tiles (Timber Roof Tech)

HIGHLY COMMENDED: KWADUBE RURAL
KwaDube Rural Housing projects – the construction of RDP houses. The old house consisted of two bedrooms, one kitchen and lounge. We also built a stand and installed Jojo tanks outside in the yard once it was completed. Each house is 42m². We use galvanized window frames and door frames. On the inside we backwashed it with water and cement and also on the outside.
We used two different shades of paint for each house. The roof sheet is a corrugated iron with beams. We didn’t do plumbing or install electrical.
