Ever Wondered about the cost of building your dream home?
In this video, we breakdown how to calculate the cost of building a mid level luxury residential house. The price is dependent on location, size, complexity of the house, building materials, labor costs, and the landscape and building site preparation. We also give tips on minimizing the costs of building.

The cost of a home is measured per square meter, covering the full development process, from site clearance and foundations to the purchasing of materials, all the way to the installation of the fittings and finishes, and everything in between

Build only what you can afford & have an extension plan for later additions once the costs of the initial building are paid off.

Great video! Would it be possible to take us on a finished house tour and share the exact costs that went into that particular build? I think the visuals would provide even more insights.

Also building in an estate has additional costs, found that out the hard way. The cost of site establishment and upfront payments to the estate before building.
