Renovation Contractors in Pretoria
Full home and commercial renovations — Kitchen, bathroom and whole-home renovations, extensions and commercial fit-outs managed end to end by a single project manager.
Renovations fail on coordination far more often than on craftsmanship. The tiler arrives before the plumber has finished first fix, the electrician cannot chase because the plasterer has already skimmed, the kitchen units are delivered a week before the floor is ready, and the whole programme slips while three contractors point at each other. The value of a properly managed renovation is not just the quality of the individual trades — it is the sequence.
Total Home Project manages complete residential and commercial renovations in Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand and Johannesburg with one project manager accountable for the whole programme.

How we run a renovation
Every renovation starts with a site meeting where we establish what you want, what your building will actually allow, and what your realistic budget is. We produce an itemised quotation broken down by trade and element so you can see exactly where the money goes and make informed decisions about where to adjust. On approval we issue a programme showing the sequence and duration of each phase. Work proceeds under a supervisor who is on site daily, with progress feedback to you and a clear payment schedule tied to milestones rather than arbitrary dates.
Kitchen renovations
Kitchens are the highest-value renovation in terms of both lifestyle and resale. A full kitchen renovation typically involves strip-out, revised plumbing and electrical positions, new ceiling or bulkhead work, tiling, cabinetry, countertops, splashbacks, lighting and appliance installation. Layout is where the real gains are made — a kitchen that works has sensible relationships between sink, hob, fridge and preparation space, adequate uninterrupted counter run, and storage positioned where the items are used. We plan all of this before anything is demolished.
Bathroom renovations
Bathrooms are small, service-dense and completely unforgiving of poor waterproofing. Our bathroom renovations follow a strict sequence: strip out, re-route plumbing and electrical, screed to correct falls, install and test the waterproof membrane, tile, install sanitaryware and fittings, seal, and finish. Waterproofing is never rushed to save a day, because a shower that leaks into an adjacent bedroom eighteen months later costs many times what the extra day would have.
Extensions and structural changes
Adding a room, opening up a wall between kitchen and living area, enclosing a patio or building a granny flat all involve structural considerations and, in most cases, municipal approval. We advise on what requires plans, coordinate with draughtspeople and engineers where needed, and build to the approved drawings. Removing a load-bearing wall requires a properly designed and installed lintel or beam — this is not a place for improvisation, and we will not do it without appropriate structural input.
Budget, timeline and honesty
Renovation budgets are exceeded for two reasons: unknowns discovered once walls are opened, and scope added during the project. We manage the first by inspecting thoroughly upfront and including a realistic contingency in our advice, and the second by pricing variations in writing before proceeding so you always know the running total. We would rather give you an accurate figure that makes you pause than a low figure that grows. Typical timelines: a bathroom two to three weeks, a kitchen three to five weeks, a whole-house renovation two to four months.
