We Are Mshankwe Investments, Your Local New Home Builders Strand.
We consider the impact of the coastal climate in planning residential construction, as moisture affects building materials. This helps in selecting suitable construction methods..
We prepare a clear and detailed quotation based on the dicussed scope of works, building plan and selected materials.
We organise the work into set schedule, from site preparation, foundations to structural work, installation of services, plastering and home handover.
We check the building at key stages and address identified defects before final handover.
We build new homes, custom homes and turnkey residential projects in Strand, Cape Town, and manage the work from the first site assessment through to final handover.
We assess the site before construction starts. Soil conditions, ground levels, drainage and foundation requirements help determine how the home should be built.
We consider Strand’s coastal environment when selecting construction methods and materials. Salt air, moisture, wind and weather exposure can affect concrete, metal, roofing, paint and other exterior materials.
We plan the foundation and structural work before construction begins. Reinforced concrete, masonry, structural walls and other building elements follow the project design and applicable building requirements.
We use suitable materials for each part of the home. Concrete, reinforcement, bricks, mortar, roofing materials, waterproofing products, tiles, flooring, plumbing components and electrical materials are selected according to the project requirements.
We follow applicable South African building requirements, including SANS 10400 and the National Building Regulations, where they apply to the project.
We provide a detailed quotation before construction starts. The quotation identifies the planned work, materials and project costs so the homeowner can understand what is included.
We explain construction costs and project stages before work begins. Where suitable information is available, we can also provide guidance on building costs per square metre.
We manage construction in clear stages. Site preparation, foundations, structural work, roofing, plumbing, electrical work, plastering, screeding, tiling, flooring, painting and external works are completed as the project progresses.
We inspect the work during construction and address defects before final handover. Snagging helps identify unfinished or defective items that need attention.
We keep homeowners informed during the project. Progress updates explain what work has been completed, what work comes next and whether any project issue needs attention.
We can provide evidence of completed work through project photographs, before-and-after images and Strand or Helderberg case studies where available.
Where offered, our workmanship warranty or guarantee explains what is covered, for how long and what conditions apply.
Where applicable, we provide our NHBRC and CIDB registration details so homeowners can verify the company's credentials before construction begins.
We also handle house extensions, additions and renovations using the same planned approach, from assessment and design through construction and final inspection.
Tell us about your property, home design, building plans, required work, budget and expected timeline. We review the project requirements and identify any information needed before construction can begin.
Once the project scope and quotation are agreed, we plan the construction stages and schedule the work. Construction can include foundations, structural work, roofing, plumbing, electrical installation, plastering, screeding, tiling, flooring, painting and external works.

We build homes with a clear construction process.
Building a new home involves many decisions, from building plans and site conditions to foundations, materials, costs and construction timelines. At New Home Builders Strand, we understand that homeowners want a building process that is clear, organised and easy to follow.
The problem is that construction can become difficult when costs are unclear, project stages are not explained, contractors do not communicate, or site conditions are not considered before work begins. These issues can lead to delays, unexpected costs and work that does not meet the agreed requirements.
We take a planned approach to residential construction. We assess the site, review the building requirements, plan the construction stages and keep you informed as the project progresses. We also consider Strand's coastal environment, soil and foundation requirements, drainage, waterproofing and suitable building materials.
Here's how we do it:
1. Discuss your project: We discuss your home design, property, requirements, budget and expected timeline.
2. Assess the site and plans: We assess the site and review the building plans, ground conditions, access, drainage and foundation requirements.
3. Prepare the quotation and construction plan: We define the scope of work, materials, construction stages, costs and expected schedule.
4. Build and manage the project: We complete the construction stages, coordinate the required trades, inspect the work and provide progress updates.
5. Inspect, snag and hand over: We identify unfinished or defective items, complete the agreed corrections and prepare the home for final handover.
Our goal is to give you a clear view of what is being built, what each stage involves and what happens next.

The cost depends on the size and design of the home, site conditions, foundation requirements, building materials, finishes, labour, plumbing, electrical work, roofing, kitchens, bathrooms and external works. Building costs per square metre can help with early budgeting, but the final price depends on the approved plans, property and selected materials.
The construction time depends on the size and design of the home, site conditions, approvals, material availability and the scope of work. The project follows planned stages, including site preparation, foundations, structural construction, roofing, services, finishes, inspections and handover. A construction schedule provides a clearer project timeline.
Most new home construction projects require approved building plans and must follow applicable municipal requirements and the National Building Regulations. SANS 10400 provides technical requirements for many aspects of building work. Architects and other professionals can assist with plans and approvals where required.
Soil and ground conditions can affect the type and design of the foundation. A site assessment can identify ground levels, drainage and visible site conditions. Where required, soil testing or a geotechnical investigation can provide information about the ground before foundation construction begins.
Materials depend on the approved design and project specifications. Common materials include concrete, steel reinforcement, bricks, mortar, roofing materials, waterproofing products, plumbing components, electrical materials, plaster, screed, tiles, flooring and paint. Materials should be selected according to the required performance and project conditions.
