Project Cost Calculator for a Custom Home

Welcome to our Project Cost Calculator! We are so happy that you are here, because a clear budget is one of the most important things to establish in your building journey. Building (properly) is expensive, and aligning your scope with your budget early on is how you can ensure success.

This cost calculator is designed to give you an initial impression of the overall costs of a custom home BEFORE you start designing.

Note that the meter square rates used here apply to Johannesburg.

Expect costs in Cape Town to be at least 15% higher.

Please be aware that the calculator cannot account for constraints specific to your project and site. To get to a more accurate cost for your project, you can commission a Needs and Options Review. This is the first step in our Mindful Design Approach and helps you avoid the classic pitfalls associated with building, which cause 85% of projects to run over budget.
