Some of the work I’ve done.

The last 30 years have taken me from Pretoria, to Mpumalanga, to Cape Town - from homes, to estates, to luxury accommodation and commercial properties.

  • Living room of the Green Point apartment, with the sea beyond the window blind

    Letting turnover

    Green Point · Cracks filled, holes patched and walls painted after the tenant moved out

  • Before: the shower recess stripped to bare wall, old tile adhesive still showing
    After: the shower retiled in large grey tiles, with a chequered mosaic floor

    Bathroom refurb

    Waterproofed and retiled

  • A wall clad floor to ceiling in vertical slatted panels, beneath dark timber ceiling beams

    Feature wall

    Slatted panelling fitted floor to ceiling, cut around the switch and plug points

  • A grey mirrored door hung on a black sliding track in a guest room

    Guest accommodation

    Mpumalanga · Door installations, paintwork and finishings for multiple luxury accommodation units

  • Single-storey units with tiled roofs and timber front doors either side of a paved road

    Housing estate development

    Pretoria · Project managed 21-⁠unit development

Services I provide.

Small fixes to larger projects - I’m happy to discuss how I can help.

  • Maintenance & repairs

    Damp, leaks, carpentry, paint, doors, gutters. The small jobs other builders don’t call back about.

  • Small refurbs

    Bathrooms, kitchens, flats between tenants. Same layout, better finish.

  • Letting turnovers

    Get a unit tenant-ready between leases. Fast, and invoiced cleanly.

  • Common-property work

    Body corporate repairs and recurring maintenance.

  • Project management

    Plumber, electrician, tiler, painter. I schedule them, you don’t.

For you or for the buildings you manage.

You own it

Homeowners and small business premises - shops, offices, restaurants.

A real person in your space. A written quote before anyone lifts a tool, and updates as it goes. You’ll always know who’s on site. It’s me.

You manage it

Letting agents and body corporate managing agents.

One contact across every trade. Quotes that actually arrive. Invoices that reconcile to your ticket numbers.

Five steps, start to handover.

The same process whether it’s a dripping geyser or a bathroom.

  1. Step one

    Message me

    A photo and your suburb is enough to start.

  2. Step two

    Site visit

    I come look, in person.

  3. Step three

    Written quote

    Itemised, so you can see what you’re paying for.

  4. Step four

    The work

    Updates as it goes.

  5. Step five

    Handover

    Final walkthrough.

No silence between site visit and handover.

I’ve been doing this for over 30 years.

Construction, refurbs, project management and home builds, across residential and commercial property.

I’m Manny Marques. The years teach you the building. What people notice is the rest of it - saying when I’ll arrive and then arriving, knowing the tenant moves in on Saturday, getting the quote to the trustees before Thursday’s meeting.

That is the part I actually like: one person you can phone, who knows what was agreed and turns up when he said he would.

No reviews on this page yet. I’ll add them as jobs finish - a first name and a suburb, nothing else.

A dripping tap or a full refurb - I’d like to hear about it.

Tell me what needs doing.

Send a photo and your suburb. I’ll come look and put a written quote in your hands.

Email instead

I read these myself. Fill in what you know - if you’re not sure what the job needs, say that and I’ll work it out on site.

Or WhatsApp 083 702 8458.

Same number for homeowners, letting agents and body corporates. Call it if you’d rather talk.
