A Bloemfontein-based property company, Hilda L Property Investment, analysed the pictures to estimate how much time it would take to build a structure this size. Speaking to Briefly News, a representative said:

"It depnds on how many people are working on it and the weather. In ideal conditions and weather, it would probably take less than a month from breaking ground to completion."

"The tiles on the ceiling is a a unique touch but personally I would've gone with PVC Ceilings rather than actual tiles on the roof. The PVC would be a lot cheaper to buy and install and take less time to install."

The Hilda L Property Investment rep concluded that R25 000 for the space was reasonable. He said:

"The cost could've been less by replacing the tiles with PVC Ceilings but overall, the R25K is reasonable."
