Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
I need to convert my open patio on top on the garage into a bedroom with a full bathroom. Find attached the current plan to give you an idea of the work. The Architect is working on the new plan and will share once available. If I can get a high level costing I would appreciate that. I will buy all my materials I want to be charged for labour only which includes building and plastering the walls to roof level. Please note two sides of the walls are built already to 1.8m. see current plan for details
Patio with a roof connected to an existing house by extension of the roof of the house, add braai and serving surface. The floor of the patio should be the same as those surrounding the swimming pool. The existing swimming pool will be renovated into a smaller pool. Paint of house and roof outside should be included
After the recent floods my house was ruined and a few flaws surfaced the floors seem to have warped or sunk in some areas of the house. I am looking to completely redo the floor from concrete base, reinforcement to make them stable and strong. The two bathrooms are to be fully redone with complete new installations as well as the floors. In the pictures you will see there is one with blue and red circles. On the blue circled area I want a sliding standard aluminum door and in the area on top of the bath tub, a new window aluminum as well.

This will need to be a 3 bedroom house that is open plan. We are looking at the prices of standard bricks and / or Building blocks. We have a plan that has been approved however, the plan is from another ERF and the elevations on the plot is more or less level. Ground is Sandy as far as I can tell. We need a builder that is NHBRC registered that can work with the bank. Attached is the plan, how ever, we only need the house done with the patio, not the garages ect. if that can be quoted separately to see how far we ca go
