NHBRC registered builders in Franschhoek. New homes, extensions, heritage renovations and wine estate construction. Cape Winelands District Municipality plans included. Written contract and 2-year warranty on every build.
Franschhoek is one of South Africa's most beautiful and most regulated building environments. The Franschhoek Valley's Cape Dutch homesteads, wine estate architectural guidelines, Heritage Western Cape protection and strict Cape Winelands District Municipality requirements mean that building here without specialist knowledge leads to costly rejections, wrong materials, stop-work orders and blown timelines. We have built in Franschhoek. We know exactly what is required before we break ground.
Scotch Score Holdings is NHBRC registered, CIDB registered and CIPC-verified — Scotch Score Holdings (Pty) Ltd, CIPC: 2025/257893/07. Every Franschhoek build includes Cape Winelands municipality plan submission, NHBRC enrolment, electrical COC and a written two-year workmanship warranty. No subcontracting your job to a contractor who has never worked in the valley. Our team manages the project from plan submission to handover.
Heritage building in Franschhoek — what most builders miss: Franschhoek has some of South Africa's most strictly protected heritage buildings. The historic village, wine estate homesteads and many valley properties require Heritage Western Cape sign-off for structural changes. Wrong materials — cement mortar instead of lime, incorrect window proportions, non-approved roofing — can result in demolition orders. We know the requirements before we quote your project.
Wine estate construction in the Franschhoek Valley: Estates including La Motte, Grande Provence, Dieu Donné, Chamonix, Haute Cabrière, Môreson, Lynx and surrounding farms all have estate-specific architectural guidelines on top of Cape Winelands municipality requirements.

Cape Winelands District Municipality plan approval takes 8 to 16 weeks — longer for heritage or wine estate properties. Construction of a 100m² home takes 4 to 6 months once plans are approved.
