  1. I love this F&^^% guy. We get so ripped off by contractors and this Man is honest as hell. May your business grow from strength to strength and you continue to be blessed

  2. Bm.
    I love your designs, minimalistic yet beautiful.
    I am from Tanzania East Africa and i hope one day to invite you here so you can help me design a simple, large and minimalistic house.

  3. I'm very curious about the style of building employed by many American developers. I often see them rely mostly on timber rather than brick and I always wondered about the cost for both options. Building and maintenance. Would you recommend the American style of building in SA looking at cost, material availability and ease of construction?

  4. The are no hidden costs if you are familiar with the build science, you need to know the geology of the land. The spec needs to be right, water proofing & humidity control

  5. It would be a cool series if someone could review these luxury modern houses that cost millions and runs through the cost (or estimations) of building them. i mean, I can't be the only one wondering that, if a house costs 9mil, how much did it cost to build? And as mentioned in the video, there are multiple costs that are included in addition to the labour and material but it would still be a fun series to watch.

  6. Thank you for the information, but nextime please never record in an empty room or one with bare concrete floors. Your sound was really bad after you left the field. to solve this you could have done a voice-over since the audio is so bad, if you need help on how to better record sound please feel free to contact me. I'm happy to help.

  7. Speaking about unexpected costs(Gremlins to your account), budget for these… Land surveyor, Geotechnical engineer and Structural engineer… Your Architect will require services from these guys before they can design and submit your plans… 🙂

  8. Very informative, Tumi.

    It's just interesting that a Quantity Surveyor, the professional charged with managing all of these costs from stages 1-6 of construction, was not mentioned….

  9. Quite insightul.

    Semi-pro tip: Always talk to an architect or builder before you start. They are usually keen on sharing information with the hope that they will get your business. Amazing what you can learn "for free".

  10. Thank you once again Boitumelo for another amazing informative video. A question I have before purchasing any land to build on, would the estate (in this instance) provide the information beforehand so that the potential buyer knows that they would need to increase their budget? I mean surely someone must evaluate the land beforehand to see whether if it is habitable right?
