Namibia is a developing country, and that means that building costs are still reasonable. According to this article from Namibia’s government, the average cost of building a home in Namibia is $5,000-$20,000. Of course, this number varies depending on where you live in the country and what kind of home you have (smaller homes are cheaper). But let’s say you want to build an average-sized house: How much would it cost?
These are some of the most common house plans and their construction costs:
The following is a list of some of the most common house plans, along with their construction costs:
- Bungalow – $120,000
- Raised bungalow – $130,000
- Two-storey duplex – $150,000
- Two-storey and basement flat – $170,00
3-Bedroom House Plan
- 3-Bedroom House Plan: $200,000
- Total Cost for Building a Flat in Namibia (3-bedroom house): $350,000
The cost of building a house in Namibia depends on several factors such as structure size, materials used and labour costs. In this article, we will discuss how much does it cost to build a 3-bedroom flat in Namibia?
4-Bedroom House Plan
To get a rough idea of how much a flat in Namibia will cost, here are the main factors that play into its cost:
- Cost of Construction: The construction costs depend on the size of your home and what materials you want to use. You can expect to pay around N$1 million (US$64,723) for a 2-bedroom house built with quality brick veneer or cement block walls. If you want to go all out with expensive materials like marble flooring and granite countertops, then it may cost even more! That said, if you’re not aiming for anything fancy, then there’s no reason an average family couldn’t build their own 4-bedroom house using low-quality materials like wooden planks instead. It’s all about the balance between affordability and style preference here.
- Cost Of Furniture: besides building costs, there’ll also be furniture costs which vary depending on what type of furniture you buy as well as where it’s sourced from (i.e., locally versus overseas). Generally though – according to our research – buying furniture within Namibia isn’t going anywhere near as expensive as buying them abroad (i.e., in South Africa) because most stores sell imported goods at high markups due to import taxes/duties etcetera; so this means local residents don’t have any choice but shop online since high street shops tend not to carry cheap alternatives either way!
5-Bedroom House Plan
The cost of construction for a 5-bedroom house is N$2,300 per square meter. A five-bedroom house will have about 110 square meters of floor area and will have five bedrooms, two bathrooms and one sitting room. The cost per room in this type of house would be N$210,000 or about $18,000 USD.
Planning your house
- Planning your house is the first step towards creating a home, it is important for you to be clear about your budget so that you can start building.
- How much does it cost to build a house?
The total cost of building a house depends on several factors including design and size, materials used as well as location. The average cost of building a new home in Namibia ranges from N$1 million to N$2 million depending on its size and location. The more expensive components include labour costs which account for around 30% of the total project cost. Other costs include land preparation; utilities such as water supply and sewage disposal; site infrastructure like roads, stormwater drainage system etc., site security such as fencing around the property and driveway gates at entrance points etc.. The cheapest way to construct your own home would be through DIY kits – these usually contain all the necessary materials needed but may require some initial investment before this option becomes viable (around N$100 per square meter).
