We want to build a separate flat apart from our house that we want to rent out, we are looking at possibly 2 units. The space to build on is 7.5x5 meters and the units that we want to build has to be approx 3.75x5 in size. We also have a bit of a parking issue, therefore I want to find a solution for this as well. I also want to add a staircase.
The remodel is meant to bring the outdoors indoors, optimising one side of the house for indoor gardening and incorporating a courtyard of sorts. At the same time, airflow and transparency (especially in the roof design) will have to be considered so the house (double-story) doesn't become a sauna. I already know what I want the finished product to look like. I prefer email communication, as due to my line of work, I'm often unable to take personal phone calls.
We really want someone to bring our ideas to reality. We recently bought a space and completely broke it down and had it redone so we now have a 4 bedroom space. Now we need help with designing, bathrooms, kitchen, lounge, literally everything. We have ideas but need help putting it all together. We need someone who can assist with where to put what, how and where to put cupboards. Basically we just need to know what works and what won't.
I want to build a log house in already established residential property. I am building a very simple cottage at the back of my daughter's yard and need some assistance. I also need some advice as my daughter no longer has the plans of her home, I therefore need someone to advise me with regards to the regulations and steps forward. I am currently in Port Elizabeth but am looking to build in Port Shepstone.
I want to extend the kitchen. I also want to add a bathroom and turn my bedroom into a en-suite. In fact, I actually want to extend every room of the home because the house is quite small. I live in a residential complex and I am not sure about all of the rules regarding extensions but I am hoping that I am able to do all of the things to the home that I am looking for.
