This would be dependent on a number of factors, such as the required usage of the formwork and your local/indigenous material costs. How much does a moladi house cost? We do not have a set price for a house, as moladi works on a sequence of providing quotations based on the client’s unique house design. We calculate each costing based on the material cost prices in their project location. This will provide them with a cost breakdown, which includes the material quantities and technology transfer costs, needed to build the superstructure of the unit. Do you charge for quotations? An administration fee of R15/m² floor area will be charged for specialised cost estimates. This fee is fully refundable and will be credited on placement of order. The finishing materials such as; Windows, doors, roofing, ceiling, plumbing and electrical hardware and paint will reflect general South African prices. Do you supply plans? Our projects department only works on architecturally designed plans, which are submitted by the individual or organisation, and do not supply building plans to clients.
