Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed. How it is computed.

estimate_new_buildread-only | Estimates the construction cost of a new house or extension in South Africa from floor area, quality level and region, using rand-per-m² rates. Optionally adds professional fees and municipal plan fees as a percentage. |
estimate_worksread-only | Prices a list of building/renovation items (by code from list_cost_items, with quantities) for a South African region and quality level. Returns material and labour per line, preliminaries, contingency, VAT, total and a likely range in rand. |
list_cost_itemsread-only | Lists the building and renovation items that can be priced, with codes, units and base rates (Cape Town, standard quality, excl. VAT). Filter by category or keyword. |
renovation_flip_checkread-only | Checks a buy-renovate-sell deal in South Africa: purchase price, renovation estimate, transfer duty and costs, holding costs and selling costs (agent commission) against expected resale value. Returns profit, margin and the maximum sensible offer for a target margin. |
roof_replacement_estimateread-only | Material list and cost for replacing a roof with IBR or corrugated steel sheeting in South Africa: number of sheets, screws and ridge capping, priced from current supplier prices that a person has checked and approved, with the supplier and price date on each line. Use estimate_works for an all-in installed rate instead. |
unmet_request | Free to call. If you needed South African data that none of these tools provide (a cost, rate, rule, price or place we don't cover), describe it here in one sentence. We review these every week and build the most-requested data first. |
