Building A House Start To Finish | Episode 6: Starting Bricklaying and Hidden Surprises

- This is the sixth episode in our new series following the construction of our dream family home.
We are calling it The Castle because of the height of the home and our beautiful mountain views. Our house will feature vaulted ceilings, huge windows, and an elevated pool and garden. In this series, we will highlight building techniques, building codes, order of operations, cost, building materials and tools used, and also even talk about the problems we run into during the build! This is going to be good fun..
We are building this home on a budget of course, so we will also be discussing how we choose materials (and designed the house) with the budget in mind, as well as how we were able to finance the build. This is a huge part of any build, and one that I think is overlooked in many CZcams videos, so we’ll share our running expenses for every step of the build.
Episode 6 is all about the starting the bricklaying and building up to floor level for the surface beds or plinths. We have to set out reference pins for the retaining walls, start building double cavity walls and fill with concrete and get to floor height so that we can pour the concrete slab.
IF YOU AREN'T... follow us on Instagram for lots of behind the scenes footage and photos!

I appreciate the encouragement, it really hits home! Thanks man!
Road to 1K,🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉we need to grow this channel,Brands should come in ASAP, You are doing an amazing work.
Thanks so much for your kind words! I know it’s only numbers and I don’t want that to ever cloud my judgement. 800k on insta and TicTok and brands are approaching. Just would love CZcams to pay for a bag of cement or two 😂
Really enjoyed the video 🎉well explained
Thank you Tim and family we appreciate you guys sharing this process and the costs of it all.
It’s is a pleasure. Hope it helps others get an understanding of it all.
Would love to see south African builds with basements, considering how high the foundation is
You know we lost a huge potential basement here. We almost did something but decided the finishing cost was too high.
Absolutely enjoying this build!!!
Cannot wait for the next episode!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. It’s awesome to create stuff people enjoy! Feels good 😊
We are in the process in buying a land and building our house. Watching this gets me nervous.
No way, don’t get nervous. It’s actually enjoyable and a wild ride. Where are you guys building?
thanks for the progress can't wait to see a finished house.
Thanks so much!
I watched some of the videos and found some answers. But, could you do a video just for the cost of land (found it in one video), estimate cost for the house, other costs, estimate of time for construction, how big the house is. Would be great to go through all those details in one video. Love it
Sure thing!
But before I get there: cost of build R3.8 land R1.2 size of land 1,100SQM building footprint 370SQM I’ve got every expense accounted for in a sheet. What expenses are you curious about?
@@buildwithtim Just the general thing. I think that many are interested in that as well.
I would do:
Cost of land, size,
Cost of construction, size
Timeframe
And a comparison to like the UK where you lived before to get a better understanding of it all. I'm based in Sweden and love all these building shows in other countries :). You mentioned it in different videos but a summary video would be great.
Cost of material??We got land, in the approval stage of plans... I've been searching CZcams for South African building content every few months... We're planning to use savings and maybe a personal loan to build...Got the land cash... Will most definitely take loner than yoyr project.. I can't believe how quickly it's moving.
interesting journey Tim! congratulations on your build and thanks for sharing with us and the transparency with the costs ❤
It is a huge pleasure. Thanks for watching…
Congratulations on your build and all the best of luck! New Subbie here! I'm feeling your every pain cause I'm also vlogging my build process in the VILLAGE in the Eastern Cape. Yours is definitely moving smoother and the people are round you seem knowledgeable. Mine OMG! I've just closed the house and I'm about to start finishes too. And yes I got robbed so many times!
Oh man! That sounds like a nightmare journey. I’m sure it’s turning out well. How do I follow what you are doing? Keep it up and yes, the filling etc is hectic.
@@buildwithtim i do a phase and stop cause im not in South Africa
Came in from Instagram,, watching from Namibia,,,, I’m following you all the way to completion
Thanks so much!
Lol I came here straight from tiktok
Welcome!
Enjoying this series. Would cool if able able to setup a time lapse.
Great idea. I’ve actually got lots of drone footage and plan to do this 😀
Nice Tim, I have a similar story, We are about 80% finished with our building project in the winelands.. What gets expensive is near the end if you have a building loan, you have to pay rent and interest.. What caught me out was the kitchen and cupboards. Its double what we had in our budget.
Thanks for sharing man! Yeah it’s already getting tricky for us juggling bank drawdowns etc we are about to get our cupboard quotes and am nervous 😬
@@buildwithtim our quotes ranged for a 300sqm house 260-400k melamine plain, not wrap
Eina, that is a lot. We've got a highly recommended family run business about to quote on ours. We're hoping for R220k all in (I'll keep you updated)
This is amazing keep going,,, from tiktok 🙋♂️
Awesome. Thanks so much!
Thank you Tim for the channel. It inspired me go start
I am so happy for you! Best of luck with it all. Where are you building?
Really cool
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
It is a huge pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Very interresting to see, nice that you break down the cost. Hope the best for you
Thank you! I wish all the best for you…
Good luck Tim
I appreciate it!
Kindly upload more videos, I'm loving your content 🙌
I will, I wish the editing was quick but yes I have a lot more footage coming soon :-) Thanks for following!
Can’t wait for the new videos Great work
Thank you so much!
Great video. Hello from denmark 🎉
Hello Denmark! Thanks for watching.
Great video Tim,was just wondering how many squares is your lovely home?
Thanks so much. We are at 370 or there about 👍🏻
We waiting for for an update
I’m working on it. Life has been hectic 🙈
Not me comparing my budgeted cost to Tim's cost. 😢. Its not balancing. And we start in 3 month 😅
Please don’t compare to mine. I think every region in SA could have different prices. Also sometimes invoice come later than the days I’m been shooting. If that makes sense?
These costs are stressing me out 😂😂 I’m just a baby
Ha ha, that is funny. Yeah building is not cheap but beats buying in the area
Love your videos Tim👌🏿. Just wanted to ask if the costs in this video include the engineers, architect and surveyors cost?
Good question. It does the surveyors but not others. Wanted to keep it actual materials and physical building (if that makes sense?)
@@buildwithtim makes sense 👍🏾
Does the cost include labour?
All total costs are with labour 👍🏻
