Tips for building a house in SA

Building your own home can be done through a full-service construction company that manages the entire project, or by hiring individual professionals yourself to save money. While managing the project independently can reduce costs, it requires careful planning and oversight. Key professionals such as architects, quantity surveyors, contractors, electricians, and plumbers help ensure the home is built safely, legally, and within budget.

According to the National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC), these are the steps you should follow before hiring a contractor to build your house:

1. Verify the builder's registration by asking to see their current registration certificate.
2. Confirm their registration status by contacting the NHBRC to ensure the builder is still registered and in good standing.
3. Inspect previous projects to assess the quality of homes the builder has completed.
4. Speak to past clients to learn about their experiences and satisfaction with the builder's work.
5. Request a written building contract before any construction begins.
6. Read the contract carefully and make sure you understand all terms, conditions, costs, and timelines.
7. Keep a signed copy of the contract for your records and future reference.
8. Maintain records of all payments and retain proof of every transaction made to the builder.
9. Understand any enrolment fees and other charges that may apply before construction starts.
10. Avoid paying for work upfront. Only make payments after the agreed work has been completed and inspected to your satisfaction.
