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.
