The cost of building a home
We at Briefly News enjoyed speaking with Mlondolozi Kani, owner of Kannjane Construction and Supply Services, about the benefits of buying land and building a home versus buying a ready-made house. Here's what he had to say:
"Building a home from scratch is a process that requires patience and a lot of money, as you will likely be required to add a few more things that may run out. It is, however, very rewarding, as owners get to build their homes exactly the way they want them, unlike built houses on sale."
Speaking about the cost of purchasing a plot and building a house, he said:
"The costs depend on many things. Firstly, there's the price of the plot itself, which depends entirely on its location. Then there's the price of the building material, which also depends on the quality of the material one will use as one has a choice on the roof to buy, ceiling to put, paint to use, type of windows and tiles to use."
"In the township, one is likely to spend plus minus R150 000 when building a standard three-bedroom house with an open plan kitchen and lounge. The price may also depend on the hardware one is buying from."
