METHODOLOGY

How CallTech builds this planning range.

This page uses anonymised, aggregated price estimates from recent publicly accessible South African service requests in the same category. We use the 25th percentile, median and 75th percentile rather than one advertised price because request scope varies significantly. No third-party customer identity or private contact information is displayed here.

The range is refreshed as our demand dataset grows. It is not a quotation, tariff, regulated fee schedule or guarantee of what a provider will charge.
