local indigenous material cost:

moladi allows for the construction process to take place anywhere in the world, making use of indigenous labour and materials. It is imperative to obtain the local raw material and labour cost. Once we have received the information requested, our Projects Department will convert your design into a moladi mould or kit and this layout design will be forwarded for your approval. Once approved, the cost estimate is prepared and forwarded using the specific material cost supplied for that particular country.

detailed cost estimate:

the detailed cost estimate is divided into categories:

floating raft foundation and floor slab
superstructure - the shell
windows south african window sizes
doors
roof
ceiling
plumbing

these cost should be replaced in the cost estimate with pricing relevant to indigenous cost of finishing material suppliers in order to recalculate the cost of the unit.
