Large Homes Where Access Is Half the Job
Bishopscourt is large established homes on generous plots, set on the eastern slopes below Kirstenbosch. The scale changes how a project runs: high double-storey elevations, long boundary walls, and mature gardens mean that reaching the work safely is often a bigger question than the work itself.
We have completed a ceiling and bulkhead installation in the suburb, and we take on main-house renovations as well as the cottages, pool houses, and garaging that come with properties this size — separately or as part of a larger programme.

Why Choose Us

Properties We Work On
Main Houses and Everything Around Them
A Bishopscourt property is often several buildings rather than one. We work on the main house, but just as often on the cottage, the pool house, or the garaging — and we scope each to suit how the property is actually used.
Large family homes on generous plots
Double-storey homes with high elevations
Cottages, pool houses, and staff quarters
Heritage and older properties
Sectional title and complexes
Rental and investment properties

Serving Bishopscourt & Beyond
Working the Slopes Below Kirstenbosch
Bishopscourt sits between Kirstenbosch and the Main Road suburbs, and we work across that whole stretch — Newlands, Claremont, Constantia, Wynberg, Rondebosch, and Tokai — as well as the wider Cape Town area. Wherever your property is, we bring the same standard of workmanship, clear communication, and reliable project management.
Frequently Asked Questions About Building in Bishopscourt
Common questions from Bishopscourt homeowners — covering access and scaffolding, stormwater on large plots, cottage and pool house projects, approvals, and quotes.
Have you worked in Bishopscourt before?
Yes. We completed a ceiling and bulkhead installation in Bishopscourt, and we work regularly across the suburb and the neighbouring mountain-side areas on renovations, roofing, and maintenance.
Do you work throughout Bishopscourt?
Yes, across the whole suburb — from the higher slopes below Kirstenbosch down towards Newlands and Claremont — as well as Constantia, Wynberg, and Rondebosch.
How do you plan access on a double-storey home with high gables?
Access is priced and planned before work starts, not worked out on the day. We assess where scaffolding can stand, how materials will reach the upper levels, and what has to be protected below — established gardens and mature trees usually dictate more than the building does.
What happens to stormwater on a large Bishopscourt property?
Bishopscourt sits on the eastern slopes and takes both heavy rainfall and runoff coming down off the mountain. On large plots that water has to be collected and routed deliberately, so we look at surface levels, gutters, downpipes, and discharge points as part of any roofing or renovation job.
Can you renovate a cottage or pool house separately from the main house?
Yes, and it is common here. Cottages, pool houses, gatehouses, and staff quarters can be renovated as standalone projects, which often suits owners who would rather not disturb the main house at the same time.
Do you help with building plans and approvals?
Yes. Most extensions and structural changes need approved plans. We guide you through the requirements and coordinate with draughtspeople, engineers, and the local authority.
