If one has started building their own home or has their own building plan and is shortage of materials or finances, members can visit their nearest Cashbuild and get information on how much everything will cost and start applying on the same website but state the reasons of applying.

People who would like to build their own offices and business workplaces can also apply on www.elegancorp.co.za which is still under the same business but works with a different website.
