Good day, I am in the process of considering to buy and renovate a house. There is a few notable changes I would like to consider. The first one is to extend the current garage in order to accommodate a second vehicle. The garage currently is 16,5m squared and the backyard can accommodate the extension. A door will need to be added for courtyard and braai room access. The second change is to revamp the current front wall to accommodate a motorized gate. Not too sure if this will need to get approved or designed by an architect? Third change is to close off an existing sunroom for privacy. The wall will be approximately 4,21m and will need a few windows for sunlight. Fourth change will be to extend the current living area to create a braai room. This will join the tandem garage and will be dependent on the building lines allowed by the building commission / municipality. If all goes well, this change will be approximately 24,6m squared (8,2m x 3m) The fifth and final potential change is to add a scullery. This will be a smaller extension and accounting for 3,75m squared (1,5 x 2,5m) Please see attached original house plan and potential changes included. Kind regards,
Office revamp. We want a nautical theme given the nature of our business and effective utilization of space etc. and interior design services. I am based in Durban, but the business that needs the interior design is located in Fourways. I will be in Fourways the middle of February, we can set up meetings then. It is not just simple painting that we need, there are quite a few alterations. We need someone to actually see the space first before offering a quote.
I want to break out a wall that's underneath my staircase. The wall is load bearing and I thought I could put a steel beam in it's place as support. I also want to enlarge and already existing square arch but I am not sure how much of the wall I can take off. Then I also want to enlarge my the opening that my sliding is in. I want to enlarge it horizontally (not vertically) - again I am not sure how much of the wall I can take off

Preference will be to talk via Whatsapp. Difficult to take calls during the day. Will try my best to answer questions. Some will have to be discussed/answered by my husband.

Using the space to its optimal potential and finding ways to cross limitation such as ventilation, natural lighting, heat, going green, privacy, cost saving etc.

Extending passage wall out by app. m. ( That will go into bathroom, study, and kitchen space which are next to each other in the passage. We will then have to in turn. extend the outer walls of these rooms by a meter or so to restore size. On the opposite side of the passage are 3 bedrooms. I would also like to extend the outer wall of these bedrooms outward by a meter to extend the bedrooms. These bedrooms’ outer wall is about 3,5 meters long each.
I previously utilised a different architect to draw up and submit the plans and I've already paid scrutiny fees, but this architect is very unprofessional and unreliable as I always have to run after him and he never respond and he has no answer. I need assistance to follow and notify me the progress of the plans at the council
