Building a home in Mzansi
Building supplies are no different from rising costs in our current economic crises. People spend hundreds of thousands and even millions just to build homes with a few bedrooms.
An article published by Business Tech in 2023 based on exclusive historical project costs records estimated that the cost of building a three-bedroom home is around R1.5M, with square meters ranging from R7.9K to R15K, depending on the location of the construction.
The data also revealed that KwaZulu-Natal was the most expensive province to build per square meter, with Gauteng coming in second and the Western Cape right behind it.
Provinces with cheaper square meters include Limpopo and the North West.
