Plan your home with clear 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom Nutec house prices . Compare floor areas, check what is included and calculate the house and veranda separately before requesting a written quotation.
A 28 m² example starts at R154,000 using this rate. Your final amount depends on the layout, site, selected specification and extras. These are construction estimates, not fixed-price offers for the photographed buildings.

Use these ranges to compare different house areas at the same reference rate. The range is not a contingency allowance for a single design. Both standard plumbing and electrical allocations remain included in the examples.
| House option | Example floor areas | Reference price range | Detailed comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | 28, 32, 36 m² | R154,000–R198,000 | 1 bedroom prices and layouts |
| 2 bedrooms | 48, 49, 50, 55, 64 m² | R264,000–R352,000 | 2 bedroom prices and layouts |
| 3 bedrooms | 70, 72, 80, 90 m² | R385,000–R495,000 | 3 bedroom prices and layouts |
| Below 28 m² | Your dimensions and room requirements | Individual quotation | Request smaller-unit pricing |
Verandas, cupboards, concrete slabs, professional services and project-specific adjustments are separate. The reference figures do not establish VAT treatment or a universal transport charge; ask for both to be confirmed in your written quotation.
Enter the enclosed house area, then add veranda space separately. Remove a service only when the complete relevant scope is to be excluded. A bedroom selection records your preference; it does not add a bedroom surcharge or confirm that the rooms will fit.
49 m² house with both standard service allocations. No veranda selected.
Selected extras and additional bathroom work are not included unless specifically priced. Tax treatment, transport, site work and the final contract amount still need confirmation. Nothing is sent just by calculating.
The starting calculation is main-house floor area × R5,500/m² . This is a construction reference for the specified structure and finishes, not a price for wall boards alone. When both standard service allocations are selected, they are already included in that multiplication.
Bedroom count is a useful way to compare layouts, but area is what drives these examples. Two houses with two bedrooms can have different prices because their total floor areas differ. Two houses with the same floor area can still have different final quotations when bathrooms, foundations, openings or finishes change.
A 7 × 7 metre rectangle gives 49 m² and a reference house value of R269,500 . This does not prescribe a particular internal plan. Confirm what the quoted measurement covers rather than combining room sizes that omit partitions or movement space.
Measure enclosed house and veranda space separately. A veranda uses its own reference rate , while cupboards, slab foundations and professional services belong in the separately quoted items. Keeping these categories separate makes a quotation easier to check.
Our one-bedroom examples cover 28, 32 and 36 m², giving reference construction values from R154,000 to R198,000 . Start with a separate bedroom, a private bathroom and an open kitchen / lounge, then decide how much space each part of the home needs.
| Floor area | Planning consideration | Calculation | Reference price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 28 m² | Compact bedroom, bathroom and open kitchen / lounge. | 28 × R5,500 | R154,000 |
| 32 m² | An extra 4 m² to allocate to rooms or circulation. | 32 × R5,500 | R176,000 |
| 36 m² | More flexibility for bedroom proportions and shared living. | 36 × R5,500 | R198,000 |
Both standard service allocations are included in these arithmetic examples. Verandas and other extras are separate. Room arrangements still require an agreed floor plan.
A compact one-bedroom home may be considered for a rental unit, an additional dwelling or a cottage. Those uses do not automatically need the same arrangement. Before selecting an area, describe the bed, seating, food preparation space and storage you want to accommodate. A price table cannot show whether your furniture will fit.
At 28 m², the main spaces must share a limited total footprint. An open kitchen / lounge can reduce the area devoted to passages, but the bathroom still needs private access. A separate bedroom should not be assumed to have the same proportions as a bedroom inside a larger house.
Discuss approximately 12–15 m² or more for the bedroom where the complete layout allows. This is a planning preference from our room briefs, not a guaranteed bedroom size within every 28 m² example. A larger bedroom may require more overall floor area so that the bathroom and shared living space remain usable.
Agree aluminium-window and entrance positions together with the furniture arrangement. A sliding door opening towards a veranda is a design choice to specify, not evidence that the veranda itself is included. Reserve space for a cupboard, then price the actual fitted unit separately.
The reference is R154,000 . Prioritise the bedroom, bathroom and shared kitchen / lounge. Include your required services from the start rather than comparing an unfinished room price with a more complete cottage specification.
Decide where the additional space is most useful: the bedroom, living area or movement around furniture. The extra area does not automatically create an extra room or pay for upgraded fittings.
This larger starting area gives more flexibility for bedroom proportions or shared living. Keep the complete house plan within the agreed area and identify cupboards or other additions in the quotation.
The table retains the standard plumbing allocation. Agree the bathroom fittings, kitchen plumbing points and distances to water and sewer connections. Removing a bathroom does not necessarily remove kitchen plumbing, so a full plumbing deduction should not be applied to a partial exclusion.
A kitchenette layout and fitted kitchen cupboards are different things. The supplied pricing scope quotes kitchen cupboards separately. Make sure that the storage and fittings you expect are written into the quotation rather than assumed from the phrase “one-bedroom home”.
A 32 m² house gives R176,000. Adding a separately measured 4 m² veranda at R2,500/m² gives R10,000, for a reference subtotal of R186,000 before other adjustments.
For a 24 m² or other smaller cottage, request individual pricing rather than extending this rate below its stated minimum. When another sleeping room is essential, compare the two-bedroom sizes instead of treating the larger one-bedroom example as an approved two-bedroom layout.
Compare 48, 49, 50, 55 and 64 m² examples from R264,000 to R352,000 . The difference is the total space available for two bedrooms, bathroom access, kitchen, lounge and circulation—not a fixed surcharge for the second bedroom.
| Floor area | Planning consideration | Calculation | Reference price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 48 m² | Compact two-bedroom arrangement with a shared bathroom. | 48 × R5,500 | R264,000 |
| 49 m² | A 7 × 7 m overall rectangle is one way to describe this area. | 49 × R5,500 | R269,500 |
| 50 m² | Balanced starting area for two bedrooms and shared living. | 50 × R5,500 | R275,000 |
| 55 m² | Additional area for the main bedroom, kitchen or lounge. | 55 × R5,500 | R302,500 |
| 64 m² | More flexibility for furniture, storage space and bathroom planning. | 64 × R5,500 | R352,000 |
Both standard service allocations are included in these arithmetic examples. Verandas and other extras are separate. Room arrangements still require an agreed floor plan.
The 48–50 m² examples are starting points for a compact two-bedroom arrangement with one shared bathroom and an open kitchen / lounge. The final floor plan needs to allocate space to all of those functions. Two bedrooms on a brief do not establish their actual sizes or the amount of usable living space.
The 55 and 64 m² examples provide more total area to distribute. That additional area can support discussion about a larger main bedroom, a more practical kitchen or a larger shared living area. It is not automatically reserved for an ensuite or supplied as fitted storage.
For larger layouts, discuss approximately 15 m² or more for the main bedroom and approximately 12 m² or more for the second bedroom where the overall area allows. These are planning aims, not a promise that every 48 m² layout contains both of those room sizes plus the remaining rooms.
Explain whether the second bedroom is intended for a child, guest or another adult. Decide where beds and wardrobes should sit before fixing window and door positions. The final arrangement should preserve bathroom privacy and useful circulation rather than merely reaching a bedroom count.
This is a modest increase in total floor area. Compare where the additional space goes on the plan. The 49 m² option between them remains a separate reference at R269,500.
Discuss whether bedroom proportions, kitchen space or the lounge should benefit. Compare the same bathroom and finish specification so the price difference remains meaningful.
A larger area creates more layout flexibility. It still does not include additional bathroom fittings, cupboards or a veranda simply because more room is available.
A shared bathroom is one arrangement to discuss for a compact two-bedroom home. Consider access for both bedrooms and visitors. Bathroom placement and door positions should be agreed together with the kitchen and living space, not left until the final finishing stage.
For a main-bedroom ensuite, the entrance belongs inside that bedroom. Decide what bathroom access remains for the second bedroom. A second bathroom changes the fittings and plumbing brief, so its cost requires a separate assessment instead of assuming the standard allocation covers everything.
Request a revised scope when another contractor will supply an entire service. The calculator's fixed deductions illustrate complete exclusions only. Partial work, a remaining kitchen connection or extra connection distance needs its own adjustment.
The main house gives R275,000 and the veranda gives R15,000. The combined priced items therefore come to R290,000 before other project requirements. This is not 56 m² all charged at the house rate.
Include veranda placement, roof coverage and the preferred lounge entrance in your enquiry. Use the inclusion table to compare the rest of the scope. These rate-based size differences are not quotations for extending an existing house.
When a third permanent sleeping room is necessary, compare the three-bedroom family-home examples before deciding whether the required room arrangement is practical.
The three-bedroom examples are 70, 72, 80 and 90 m², with reference house values from R385,000 to R495,000 . Compare the space for the entire household: bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, family lounge and movement between rooms.
| Floor area | Planning consideration | Calculation | Reference price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 70 m² | Compact family layout: three bedrooms and shared living. | 70 × R5,500 | R385,000 |
| 72 m² | An additional 2 m² to allocate to rooms or circulation. | 72 × R5,500 | R396,000 |
| 80 m² | More flexibility for bedrooms and family living space. | 80 × R5,500 | R440,000 |
| 90 m² | Larger area to assess an ensuite and common bathroom. | 90 × R5,500 | R495,000 |
Both standard service allocations are included in these arithmetic examples. Verandas and other extras are separate. Room arrangements still require an agreed floor plan.
A three-bedroom layout needs practical sleeping areas and shared spaces that work together. Begin with the furniture and uses of each room, then decide how the total area should be divided. The third bedroom could be discussed as a child's room, guest room or study-bedroom combination; the price table does not establish any of these as a fixed design.
The 70 and 72 m² examples provide compact starting areas for a family layout. The 80 and 90 m² examples allow more space to allocate. A larger main bedroom, additional bathroom or more comfortable family lounge must still be considered within the complete footprint.
Discuss approximately 15 m² or more for the main bedroom where the total house area permits. Bedrooms two and three also need useful wall space for furniture and movement. Window, cupboard and door positions can affect how a room works even when its floor area stays the same.
An open kitchen / lounge can limit unnecessary passages, but the final arrangement should follow your household's requirements. A separately enclosed kitchen can be discussed during design; do not assume the same partitions or door quantities apply to every layout.
The additional area is modest. Agree where it is allocated in the plan rather than expecting an additional bathroom or a much larger lounge from the size change alone.
Compare bedroom proportions and shared living priorities. Keep bathroom numbers, finishes and service inclusions equivalent when using the rate difference to plan a budget.
A larger footprint gives more layout flexibility. The extra area is not a substitute for itemising fitted cupboards, sanitary fittings or changes to the foundation and roof.
Larger configurations can be assessed for an ensuite serving the main bedroom while retaining a separate common bathroom. The ensuite entrance should be inside the main bedroom. Decide how the other bedrooms and visitors reach the common bathroom without compromising bedroom privacy.
The additional bathroom is not automatically priced into every larger example. Specify the number of bathrooms, required fittings and complete plumbing scope. The online estimator records the requirement and marks it as unpriced until an actual quotation is prepared.
Discuss a flat or pitched roof with the house arrangement. Confirm the roofing material, openings, sliding entrance and internal doors in the written specification. Fitted bedroom storage and kitchen cupboards remain separate even when their positions appear on a layout.
The reference main-house value is R440,000. An 8 m² veranda at R2,500/m² gives R20,000. Together, those priced items give R460,000 before other requirements.
A veranda can be discussed as a family sitting area or sheltered entrance without counting it as another enclosed room. Agree roof coverage, deck dimensions and lounge access separately. The example is a budget calculation, not the sale price of the adjacent photograph.
For a site outside Gauteng, include the town, province and access details early. Use the site and location cost checklist alongside the floor-area comparison. For fewer sleeping rooms, compare our two-bedroom prices.
The supplied pricing scope describes a more complete structure, not just exterior cladding. Confirm the exact materials, quantities and selected services in your quotation. Features in photographs may differ from the reference scope.
| Element | Reference scope | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Normal construction on poles / stilts. | Site requirements; a concrete slab is separate. |
| Structure and floor | Structural timber frame and wooden floor with varnished surface. | Alternative flooring and non-standard finishes. |
| External walls | Nutec exterior cladding over the structural frame. | Actual boards, finishes and agreed specification. |
| Roof | Flat or pitched arrangement according to design. | Roof-sheet material and any custom requirements. |
| Windows | Aluminium windows within the agreed allowance. | Sizes, quantities, positions and colour. |
| Doors | One aluminium sliding entrance can form part of the standard scope; internal doors follow the layout. | Extra doors or non-standard openings. |
| Interior finishes | Ceiling, internal drywall and insulation as specified. | Materials and full extent of partitioning. |
| Painting | Interior and exterior painting in agreed colours. | Special decorative finishes. |
| Plumbing | Standard bathroom and kitchen plumbing where included. | Fittings, bathroom count and connection distances. |
| Electrical | Agreed wiring, switches, plugs, DB box and main supply connection. | Fittings, quantities, distance and certification requirements. |
Read our full building specifications for the wider construction brief. For manufacturer material information, see Everite's Nutec cladding information . Manufacturer material guidance is not a quotation for a complete house or a substitute for project design.
A requirement without a published amount is not free. Tell us what you want included so the quotation separates the standard house, the veranda and additional work.
| Requirement | Pricing basis | Information to provide |
|---|---|---|
| Veranda | R2,500/m² standard reference; design adjustments may apply. | Separate dimensions, roof coverage and access. |
| Concrete slab | Individual quotation. | Foundation preference and site information. |
| Kitchen cupboards | Separately quoted. | Required size, design and storage. |
| Bedroom cupboards | Separately quoted. | Rooms, dimensions and storage arrangement. |
| Additional bathroom | Individual scope assessment. | Number of bathrooms and required fittings. |
| Plans and engineering | Separate professional services. | Existing plans and assistance required. |
| Municipal submission assistance | Separate service where requested. | Property location and existing arrangements. |
| Longer utility connections | Work beyond the agreed allowance assessed separately. | Water, sewer and electricity distances. |
| Extra openings or finishes | Revised specification. | Window, door, roof or flooring changes. |
The reference house rate includes the two selected standard service allocations. The table below illustrates how removing a complete service affects a 49 m² example; these are not unconditional discounts.
Includes labour and can cover the agreed bathroom and kitchen plumbing with water and sewer connections within 10 metres. The fittings and actual work must be confirmed. A second bathroom or a partial exclusion needs an individual assessment.
Includes materials and labour for the agreed wiring, switches, plugs, DB box and main supply cable within the normal 10 metre range. Longer connections and different fitting requirements may change the scope.
| Service choice | Adjustment | Indicative house amount |
|---|---|---|
| Both standard allocations included | No deduction | R269,500 |
| Complete plumbing excluded | Subtract R25,000 | R244,500 |
| Complete electrical excluded | Subtract R22,000 | R247,500 |
| Both complete scopes excluded | Subtract R47,000 | R222,500 |
No bathroom is not automatically no plumbing. A kitchen sink or other water and drainage points may remain. Discuss the actual work needed before applying the full plumbing deduction. The calculator flags a requested bathroom combined with complete plumbing exclusion so that responsibility for that work can be clarified.
A veranda can be discussed as a sitting area, sheltered entrance or outdoor extension of the lounge. Its area and specification are separate from the enclosed rooms. Agree the position, roof coverage and access before accepting the quotation.
| Veranda area | Calculation | Reference value |
|---|---|---|
| 4 m² | 4 × R2,500 | R10,000 |
| 6 m² | 6 × R2,500 | R15,000 |
| 8 m² | 8 × R2,500 | R20,000 |
| 10 m² | 10 × R2,500 | R25,000 |
These are standard-rate calculations, not fixed offers for every deck or roof design.
These reference examples combine separately measured house and veranda areas. They retain both standard service allocations and exclude other project-specific extras. None is presented as a completed-project sale price.
| Illustration | House | Veranda | Priced-item subtotal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32 m² house + 4 m² veranda | R176,000 | R10,000 | R186,000 |
| 49 m² house | R269,500 | R0 | R269,500 |
| 50 m² house + 6 m² veranda | R275,000 | R15,000 | R290,000 |
| 80 m² house + 8 m² veranda | R440,000 | R20,000 | R460,000 |
For example, a 50 m² house plus 6 m² veranda totals R290,000 at the references shown—not 56 m² charged at the house rate. A selected but unpriced extra must still be added to the actual quotation.
The stages are 60% initially, 30% at the agreed roof-level milestone and 10% on completion according to scope. The written quotation sets the contract value and payment arrangements. The full amount is not required at the beginning.

An estimator payment schedule is an illustration only. It is not an invoice, finance offer or request to pay a deposit.
Share the proposed building position, slope and access for materials. The site requirements must be assessed rather than assumed from an ordinary rectangular floor-area calculation. A difficult site can involve work not represented in a reference table.
Partitions, entrances and wet areas change the complete brief. A second bathroom or a different kitchen arrangement must be reflected in the scope, even where the overall area is unchanged.
Confirm window and door quantities, roof-sheet specifications, floor finishes, fittings and storage. Ask for each upgrade you need, rather than expecting every photographed feature to be supplied.
Travel, transport and other project logistics are assessed for the actual location. Measure the distances to water, sewer and electricity, and confirm work beyond the normal allowance.
Begin with the rooms and floor area you need. Compare the standard specification before adding veranda space, fitted cupboards or non-standard finishes. Separate essential requirements from optional additions so that the quotation can be adjusted deliberately.
A smaller calculator total is not useful when the building still needs excluded plumbing, electrical work or site preparation. Identify who provides that work and compare the cost of the full project, not just one contractor's portion.
Our main focus is Gauteng, including Pretoria, Pretoria North, Centurion, Midrand and Johannesburg. Enquiries from Sandton, Randburg, Fourways, Roodepoort, Alberton, Kempton Park, Germiston, Benoni, Edenvale, Krugersdorp and surrounding areas can be discussed.
Larger projects in Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Free State and other suitable locations are assessed individually. Rustenburg enquiries can also be discussed. The floor-area reference is not a promise of identical site and travel costs in every town.
Send the town, province, proposed house area, site access information and service connection distances. Site photographs can help explain a slope or restricted access, but the final requirements still need assessment.
See our service-area information , then use the quotation form to discuss availability for your project. The calculator does not invent province or suburb surcharges.
A fair comparison needs equivalent areas and inclusions. An unfinished room, a serviced cottage and a complete home are not the same scope even when the exterior dimensions look similar.
Compare wall construction, floor, roofing, internal finishing, insulation and included services. Do not treat an entry-level timber room price as a direct comparison with the reference homes on this page. Review our wooden Wendy house prices and request matching specifications.
This guide does not publish a verified brick-building quotation or a universal percentage saving. Compare foundations, finishes, professional services, connections and the full site scope before deciding which option costs less for your project.
Use these views to discuss supports, flooring, wall finishes and bathrooms. They show different project features rather than one verified house at a table price. Dimensions and specific inclusions are agreed separately.
