"That is a bit too much as I did one for a three-bedroom, and it did not get to such an amount."

"Go to the hardware yourself and buy the roofing materials, and then call a fundi for the labour. You can save some expenses that way."

"Prepare; it may be more than that. You will come back and tell us."
