Deciding on a budget for your project can be quite difficult. It often requires insight into more than labour and material cost. The final price can also be affected by other factors, such as global and local economic conditions, market and seasonal trends, etc.

When preparing our annual home renovation cost guide, we consider all these factors to provide you a solid forecast of costs in the South African marketplace.


Home renovation

  • R1000 – R2500/sqm

A home renovation involves all the building, craftsmanship and installation work needed to turn a dilapidated old building into a modern, energy-efficient home. There are many factors that affect the total cost, e.g. type of work and the extent of the renovation involved. Even the quality of the materials and the chosen accessories affect the cost of the renovation. On top of the estimated costs, you can add additional 20% to your home remodel budget for any unseen problems. The average cost is usually R1800/sqm.
