Is za-build-cost live?

Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 2h ago). It answered 100% of checks over the last 30 days.

Is za-build-cost free to use?

Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.

What tools does za-build-cost have?

6 tools: renovation_flip_check, roof_replacement_estimate, unmet_request, estimate_new_build, estimate_works, list_cost_items.

Is za-build-cost safe to connect?

The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

• list_cost_items open 2h ago

  Lists the building and renovation items that can be priced, with codes, units and base rates (Cape Town, standard quality, excl. VAT). Filter by category or keyword.

  Free to call. If you needed South African data that none of these tools provide (a cost, rate, rule, price or place we don't cover), describe it here in one sentence. We review these every week and build the most-requested data first.
