Worth Knowing
Before you commit to new builds
01
New homes in South Africa must be enrolled with the NHBRC before construction starts, under the Housing Consumers Protection Measures Act.
02
Foundation depth and width are set by the soil classification on your stand, not by the size of the house.
03
Council-approved plans are required before a single brick goes down — approval timelines vary by municipality.
04
Concrete reaches most of its working strength in 28 days, which is why a realistic programme allows for curing rather than rushing it.
