Understanding the construction
What are Nutec houses and Nutec homes?
On this page, both terms describe residential buildings finished with Nutec fibre-cement exterior cladding. Our construction uses a timber frame, with flooring, roofing, internal walls and services specified for the individual project.
The exterior cladding is one part of the house—not the entire specification. When comparing builders, check the foundation, frame, roof, insulation, windows, finishes and utility connections as well as the appearance.
Your layout can be planned around the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, living area and veranda you need. Start with the available space and intended use, then confirm a floor plan rather than choosing from an exterior photograph alone.
Material reference: Everite’s Nutec cladding information and product and installation guides . These describe the products, not the inclusions in our construction quotation.
Rental accommodation
Discuss a separate cottage or additional unit, with the intended layout and services clearly defined.
Farm & plot cottages
Send the site location and access details so the building requirements can be assessed before quoting.
Extra space at home
Explore garden cottages, additional rooms and home offices suited to the space available.
Nutec house prices
How much does a Nutec home cost?
R5,500
per m² reference rate
Use our standard reference rate as a starting point. Your final price depends on floor area, room layout, location, site conditions and the specification agreed in writing.
Concrete slabs, kitchen cupboards and built-in bedroom cupboards are quoted separately unless specifically included in your quotation.
| Floor area | Calculation | Reference amount |
|---|---|---|
| 36 m² | 36 × R5,500 | R198,000 |
| 49 m² | 49 × R5,500 | R269,500 |
| 64 m² | 64 × R5,500 | R352,000 |
These are arithmetic examples, not fixed house packages or prices for the photographs on this page. They do not determine bedroom counts or confirm inclusions. Verandas, site-specific work and separately quoted requirements must be assessed.
Compare the same scope.
A quotation for an exterior shell is not the
same as a quotation including internal finishes,
plumbing and electrical work. Ask for every
inclusion and exclusion in writing.
Size & layout
Confirm the main-house floor area, veranda area and room arrangement separately.
Site & foundation
Discuss access, the proposed foundation and any additional site requirements.
Finish & services
Confirm windows, doors, roof covering, insulation, cupboards and utility work.

What goes into your quotation
Full specifications
Nutec building specifications, explained
The following describes our standard approach and available scope. Your written quotation controls the materials, quantities, finishes and services included in your project.
Poles or stilts
Raised construction is our standard foundation option. Concrete slabs and project-specific requirements are assessed and quoted separately.
Varnished wooden flooring
The standard floor is timber, finished and varnished. Confirm any alternative floor finish in the quotation.
Timber frame & Nutec cladding
Our homes use structural timber framing with exterior Nutec boards, prepared and painted according to the scope.
Agreed roof style & covering
Discuss the pitched or low-pitch roof arrangement, roof sheeting and veranda covering required for the design.
Aluminium windows & doors
Window sizes and quantities, a sliding entrance where included, and internal doors are confirmed from the selected layout.
Drywall, ceilings & insulation
Internal walls, ceilings, insulation and painting are included where specified. Check the actual materials and finish in your quotation.
Plumbing & electrical work
Bathroom and kitchen plumbing, wiring, switches, plugs, lighting and the distribution board can form part of the agreed construction scope. Confirm the fixtures, work and connections required for your property.
Separately quoted requirements
Kitchen cupboards, built-in bedroom cupboards, concrete slabs and plan-related services are not automatically included. Ask for any veranda, special finish or additional requirement to be itemised.

Compare more than the outside
What should you check before choosing a builder?
Use the same requirements when comparing quotations. A clear scope helps you identify what is covered and what still needs to be budgeted for.
- Main-house dimensions, veranda area and room layout.
- Foundation, frame and roof specification for your site.
- Internal lining, insulation, windows and floor finishes.
- Plumbing, electrical work and connection requirements.
- Plans, additional costs, payment stages and project arrangements in writing.
Inside a Nutec home
Plan the inside as carefully as the outside
Your interior can include drywall, ceiling boards, insulation, painted walls, electrical points, bathroom plumbing and finished wooden floors, according to the selected scope.
When describing your layout, tell us where you need privacy, storage and shared space. Confirm the bedroom sizes, kitchen arrangement, bathroom fittings and door positions before the specification is finalised.
Kitchen and bedroom cupboards are quoted separately. Photographs show completed finishes; they do not mean every pictured fitting is included in the reference rate.
Planning your project
Building plans and municipal submission
Tell us whether you already have plans, are still developing a layout or need help with submission. Plan-related services are quoted separately according to the project and municipality.
- Dwelling-house building plans
- Sketch plans
- 3D concepts where applicable
- Engineer involvement where required
- Municipal / council submission
- Project-specific requirements
Confirm the requirements for your property with the relevant municipality before arranging construction. Separately quoting a planning service does not establish that permission is unnecessary.
Where we build
Nutec house builders in Gauteng and selected South African areas
Gauteng is our primary service area. For other provinces, send the location, proposed size and access information so the project can be assessed.
Pretoria, Johannesburg & surrounding areas
Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Free State & other locations
Enquiries for farm cottages, plot accommodation and residential projects outside Gauteng are assessed individually. Rustenburg and other locations can also be discussed; availability is confirmed for the specific project.
Include the town, province and any limited or difficult access when requesting your quote.
Questions before you build
Nutec houses and Nutec homes: your questions answered
Use these answers to prepare your enquiry. The agreed quotation and specification confirm the details of your own building.
Ask a project-specific questionAre Nutec houses and Nutec homes the same thing?
On this page, both terms refer to our timber-framed
residential construction with Nutec exterior
cladding. The layout and interior specification
can be adapted for family accommodation, cottages
and other uses.
How much is a Nutec house per square metre?
Our standard reference rate is R5,500/m² for
qualifying projects. Final pricing depends on
size, layout, site conditions, location and the
agreed scope. Read our
Nutec house price guide
and request a project-specific quotation.
Can I choose a 1, 2 or 3 bedroom layout?
Yes. We offer one-, two-, three-bedroom and
custom options. Confirm the total floor area
and room arrangement rather than assuming a
particular exterior photograph represents a
fixed floor plan.
Are insulation, plumbing and electricity included?
They can form part of the quotation, but should
not be assumed from the cladding type or reference
rate alone. Confirm where insulation is specified,
the plumbing fixtures and connections, and the
electrical work included.
Are kitchen cupboards and bedroom cupboards included?
Kitchen cupboards and built-in bedroom cupboards
are quoted separately unless specifically included
in writing. Discuss storage, worktops and any
additional fittings before the scope is finalised.
Can the house be built on a concrete slab?
Concrete slab options can be assessed and quoted
separately. Our standard starting point is poles
or stilts with wooden flooring. The foundation
arrangement needs to suit the particular site
and building.
Do I need building plans or municipal approval?
Confirm the requirements for your property and
intended building with the relevant municipality.
We can quote plans, engineer involvement and
submission services separately where required.
Do not treat the choice of Nutec cladding or a
raised foundation as confirmation that permission
is unnecessary.
Do you build Nutec homes outside Gauteng?
Suitable projects in Limpopo, Mpumalanga,
Free State and other South African locations
can be assessed. Share the exact location,
site access and approximate size so availability
and requirements can be discussed.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send your town and province, main-house dimensions
or floor area, bedroom and bathroom requirements,
veranda size if applicable, available budget,
and whether you need plumbing, electrical work
or plans. A sketch or reference photo can help
explain your preferred layout.
