About us
Having identified the need for affordable and low cost housing, Budget Builds has set out to formulate solutions of well constructed low cost housing and affordable homes. These are specifically aimed at a market that is in need of affordable housing.
Our director has been responsible for the construction of international award winning multi million dollar structures as well as large scale low cost core housing projects. Through this experience, the need to offer low cost and affordable housing solutions for the lower and medium income earners of our society was observed. Economically speaking, it is currently more expensive to build than buy, but we believe that we can change that. We are intent in solving the problems of expensive home construction as well as driving sustainable living. It is our mission to make available the best and most affordable low cost building options for our society.
