Home Inspection Services! With Consumer Protection and Consumer Rights being the new 'Buzz Words' doing the rounds in South African, so the Property Market has also received its Law(s) to guide, control and protect the Property Owner. It has become crucial for persons who wish to sell, buy or rent a property, to now ensure that they are getting what they are paying for, or wishing to sell without the repercusions that could arise in the future. Do not hesitate to appoint an Internationally Certified Property Inspector to inspect the property you are involved in, or going to be involved in. The fees for such an inspection, are far less than the repair costs that could eminate at the end of the day. Be Wise! Inspect what you are selling, buying or renting and eliminate the potential hidden costs or litigations that could arise in the future.

 

Home Design Emporium's involvement: We have an independant Inspectorate Division, which is headed up by Lenn Victor, who is an Internationally Certified Professional Property Inspector (InterNACHI®) in both the Residential and Commercial markets, as well as a registered BCO / Building Surveyor with SACAP®. You are therefore guaranteed an unbiased, independant professional inspection done by a qualified and registered person.  We are Nation Wide. 

"Ideas are born from desires and needs!" From early man to modern day man, the desire to have your own 'home' or 'castel' is an internal desire embedded in one's soul. Today, with the  rising cost of living, the uncertain and unreliable future of sustainable conventional electrical supply, and the need for mankind to reduce its carbon footprint, the need to upgrade, improve or build new is growing ever stronger. While spending many hours and days at home during Covid lockdown, we have found flaws and deficiencies in our homes. With the unreliable source of power being supplied by our SOE, the need for an alternative sustainable energy supply, has become more prevelant.  But how to resolve these issue is not always easy! That is where Home Design Emporium comes to the fore. We are there to assist, guide and advise you. We come as a Team of Experts.

 

Home Design Emporium's involvement: It is our job to take your ideas, desires and needs, analyze them, study them, dissect them and find a solution to your Dream Ideas that work for you.

The Architectural Plan Stage. Once your Dream Ideas have been formulated, and the 3D schematic drawings are approved, we then proceed by taking these 3D drawings and converting them into a practical scenario. Building Plans are drawn up, referred to as 'Working Drawings', detailing all aspects of the proposed project. This is a detailed, lengthy and involved process, but is needed to ensure that the project meets all standards and requirements. Upon approval from you on the final drawings, these plans are then submitted to the Local Building Inspectorate Authority for plan approval, so as to commence with construction.

This is the most serious part of this whole process. This is where most home owners go wrong! Appointing a contractor / builder to do your proposed project, needs a lot of howework. There are legal documents involved. There are controlling bodies / organizations involved. There are financial institutions involved. There are referrals involved. There are references involved. Here you need to take your time before finalizing anything. Rather delay your project and do your homework properly, and end up having a dream experience during construction and completion, or rush into the project, and end up having a nightmare of a time! This is the most expensive part of your Investment/Dream Idea, so get it right!

Now comes the fun part! Colour is most probably one of the biggest influencers on the human mind and psyche. It also creates the ambiance and effects in a room or space. Going to shop for paint, furniture, accessories and other decorative items for your project, is great fun. Choosing that perfect piece of accessory or furniture piece to fit into your new space, can give you goose bumps! Although Home Design Emporium's original 3D Rendering presentations proposes colour schemes, furniture pieces and decor, this in reality can and will change, as you stand in the actual project. That is the beauty of what you are creating. Your own dream!
