Interest rate is at 10% over a 20 year period. Stand cost of ZAR 500,000. Estate Agent fees were calculated at 7,5%. It is significant to note the saving incurred in the process. 1. Total Saving - ZAR 2,150,000 2. Interest on Building Cost Saved Projected @ 10% - ZAR 1,075,000 3. Reinvest Savings @ 13% - ZAR 800,000 4.

More control over appointment of sub-contractors 3. Better "product" in the end due to better value for money. 4. Client can be involved in the whole process.
