Small footprint. Proper home.
Our 1 bedroom Nutec houses are ideal for cottages, rental units, backyard accommodation, retirement units, farm accommodation and compact permanent homes. Choose your size, room arrangement and finishes, then we quote according to the final specification.
Use the examples below to estimate your 1 bedroom Nutec house before requesting the final quotation.
Choose the amount of space that suits how you want to live.
These estimates use the current standard Nutec construction rate of R5,500 per square metre. Final quotations depend on layout, site, location and selected options.
32m² 1 Bedroom
36m² 1 Bedroom
Illustrative arrangement only. Your final floor plan is customised according to size and site requirements.
A compact home must still feel like a real house.
We avoid wasting the limited floor area with unnecessary passages. The bedroom receives usable wall space, the bathroom remains private, and the kitchen and lounge share an efficient open-plan area.
The bedroom should have enough usable wall area for a bed, storage and circulation rather than being reduced excessively.
Typical bathroom layout can include a shower, toilet and basin.
Combining the kitchen and lounge makes a small house feel larger and reduces unnecessary internal walls.
Aluminium windows are positioned to improve ventilation and light throughout the bedroom and living area.
Exterior, interior and finishing from actual Nutec projects.
We use different project photographs throughout the website so customers can inspect more of the work instead of repeatedly seeing the same hero image.

Only pay for extras your project actually needs.
Not every client needs building plans, municipal submission, a concrete slab or custom cupboards. These can therefore be selected separately during the quotation process.
