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 carpet cost guide, we consider all these factors to provide you a solid forecast of costs in the South African marketplace.


Carpet (installed)
