How long does an architectural project typically last?
Let's go over the timeline for the construction of a new family home.
Simple practical design, the budget for the build is R2million. I want a double story house. The top floor should have 4 bedrooms. One en-suite bathroom and two small bathroom. The ground floor should have one bedroom, a tv area, dining area, kitchen, scullery, enclosed patio area, and bathroom that has toilet & basin. Double garage. Outside toilet & basin also. I also need a built-in braai. Roughly 85sq-m for top floor and sq-m for ground floor
I have been defrauded by about 2 "architects" previously and I would like to be connected with companies closer to me so that we can have meetings and I can see them face to face. The previous guys did some work but never submitted anything to council, I need someone to draw plans for me and also see the process through this time in terms of submitting to town council.
It is just a verandah that was on the original plans that we enclosed. Its tiny and I can send you the plans and the measurements but it is a small job. Not as urgent I want to alter some really old plans for a new place I am buying, I just need a room put onto a cottage and a change of size on another room. Money is tight so don't want to spend a fortune.
I want to build a 4 bedroom two story home. 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 downstairs. The master bedroom should have an en suite bathroom and there should also be a separate shared bathroom. There should also be a separate toilet and a living room/entertaining area on the top floor. I have some further specs that can be sent upon request.
Mostly nutect. In Franskraal caravan park now trading as Kleinoverbergoord. My sister and I wish to have plans drawn and there could be many more people on average 30-50 others. Most are SASSA recipients. There are at this stage 2 houses but many more possibly will be interested also. Both houses are Nutec ( steel frame)one with 2 bedroom and one bathroom, open plan kitchen/ lounge and dining-room with a garage fully enclosed. Plus minus <m2. The other house ( wooden frame) is a three bedroom, full bathroom ( 2 toilet, basin, bathroom, shower and basin) kitchen, lounge, dining-room, sun-room, braai-room with double braai. Front stoop fully enclosed and small outside patio at the back of the property, fully enclosed plus a man cave or bachelor pad which consists of a bath, basin, toilet and a shower and space for a kitchen-net, or as a separate ablution on the property. Approximately m2.
Want to build a drywalled spray booth. Size 6 (L) x3 (W) x2.5 (H). There is an existing brick wall for the one side. Two doors 2mt in height. A sealed window on the 6mt wall. To include lighting. To include fans for air in and an extractor for air out. Architect would have to provide plans to the municipality and get necessary approvals from the municipality. Need this done in the shortest time possible.
It must be a octagon or a hexagon rondavel. It must have a bathroom, which has a shower and toilet. A big enough space to have a queen size bed, 2 big sofas, mini fridge, screen TV pasted on the wall, a big wardrobe or a built in one. A big aluminium sliding door and Windows. A veranda big enough to put some chairs and sit on. Something that looks almost like what I have attached below. But you can be flexible and make some of your taste.
Modernize a two story 5 bedroom home - contemporary/ open plan.
The house is situated in KwaMashu location. Services required is remodelling and extension of the existing old house with outside building (3 rooms and laundry room). The old existing building is standard 4 room house and I would like to change it to 3 bedroom house with one ensuite, second bathroom, open plan lounge-kitchen and garage for two cars. Proposed design should not be a double storey house. The services I require but not limited to design proposal, municipality approval, building and completing the house (Turnkey project). Attached is the recent plan that was not approved by the municipality.
Designing an educational centre- themed as an Animal Welfare Discovery Centre. It is about animal welfare and environmental education for all age groups, building on the sanctuary experiences and education concept- to promote behaviour change towards a world where people treat animals with respect empathy and understanding. The designs should reflect these educational elements and aligned to the One Welfare (animal welfare-human welfare and environmental aspects) framework.
