Developing a budget with a skilled professional is a smart planning step in any construction project — regardless of the job's size or complexity. When you work with us, we'll help you take advantage of significant benefits to ensure project success. You can:

Discover if your design is possible. A budget will take your drawings and translate them into estimated project costs. You may discover you have more or less capital to work with, letting you make any changes well ahead of time.

Know where your money is going. Preconstruction budgets help you determine specific costs for different project stages. You can use this information to prioritize phases and plan a schedule that accommodates your financial flexibility.

Keep your project funded. With a budget, you will know ahead of time what costs to expect and when you'll have to pay them. This will help ensure you have enough capital on hand to keep your project moving according to the timeline.

We bring a personal and effective approach to every project we work on.

Manufacturing & Fabrication Strand

• Cape Town

SA Skylights™ strives to raise the bar when it comes to delivering the best possible products. SA Skylights™ products are factory assembled & quality controlled.

A manufacturing budget estimates the cost of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead for the number of units predicted to be produced in the production budget. In other words, the manufacturing budget estimates how much it will cost the company to produce the number of products included the production budget.

The manufacturing budget is usually split into three separate reports or budgets: direct material, direct labor, and factory overhead. The direct materials budget will include the raw materials needed for each product, the budgeted beginning and ending inventory, raw material costs, as well as number of units set to be produced.

The direct labor budget computes the total number of labor hours need by multiplying the number of units set to be produced by the estimated number of hours required to produce each unit. The total number of hours needed can then be multiplied by the estimated hourly cost of labor to arrive at the total budgeted labor cost.

The variable overhead is multiplied by the number of units produced and then added to the fixed overhead.

We bring a personal and effective approach to every project we work on.
