In South Africa, how long does it take to build a two-story house?
A two-story/multi-story home can take 8-12 months for something fairly simple and not too extravagant. If you have a more elaborate design, you will have to wait even longer.
Is it less expensive to build a two-story house?
Double-story homes are 30% more expensive than single-story home designs. The pricing varies due to the difference in structural support required. It is also more difficult to construct.
Is a two-story house more energy efficient?
The general consensus has always been that a single-story home is more energy-efficient because heat rises, resulting in greater temperature variance and an additional burden on climate control systems. And this is correct, because warm air will always seek out cooler air in an attempt to balance things out.
