Factors to consider when building in South Africa

According to experts at Axio Projects, several important factors affect building costs in South Africa. Location plays a major role, with urban areas generally costing more than rural locations due to higher land, labour, and material prices. Building materials significantly impact the final cost, with high-end finishes obviously costing more than budget-friendly options.

The size and complexity of the house directly influence expenses, with larger homes like this 635 square metre mansion requiring a large investment. Labour costs vary depending on location and the complexity of the design, while permits and taxes add additional expenses.
