yes. Foundation will cost 400 to 500k depending on the depth of stable ground/rock at the site.

Hi good people.

Just seen these posts and decided to drop my 2 cents.

Noted that in the earlier part of this post guys talking of costs of 25k per sqM.
I am just about to start roofing my house and noted that althouth this is a good starting point. This would be the cost you pay the contractor and you walk into your house. If you buy the materials and contract a good foreman to supply labour (in stages i.e labour contract for foundation, then walling, slab etc) my costs will come to less than 13k per SqM. Thats my experience on a 410 sqM house.

That is interesting. Have you factored in the cost of the finishes, which believe is quite substantial ? Know you are yet to reach that stage but you may have done some projections...

@ Pablo.. you mention that you are in the roofing stage. A great percentage of construction costs is in the finishes stage i.e ceiling, floor tiles, bathroom fixtures septic tank e.t.c
Generally, foundation + ring beam/collumns + walling = roofing= +- 50 to 60 % of construction costs.
See the link below for a breakdown of costs at each stage.

This cost includes an est. 900k for interior finishes and 280k for a 60k ltr water tank which i constructed first.
I have not included the exterior finishes such as Septic tank, driveway cabro works, etc.

Not 100% sure the amount will finish it but will allow me to move in.
