Damp wall, our insurance is not responding... we have to do this ourselves. Can you please send someone asap. Water is leaking through the walls. Standard send people out to fix it. First the shower in the bathroom, then they fixed the leak, then in the kitchen. But water is still leaking through the wall. We called on our insurance with standard bank, but no response. We will do it ourselves because that wall is about to burst. We also need an professional to let us know what to do. The reason why we looking at an engineer is because of structural damage. Weather the is structural or not.

Hi, id like to renovate my house in this manner: Btwn 90 and sqm of extention Change of roofing I have a draft plan which I can share, the previous architect did not meet our end of the deal but I have a plan which needs minor adjustments.

We are looking to design our new office building. We are a tech business and wanted something trendy but practical to build. This will be a Ground + 2 building totalling approximately 1, Sq meters of office space. We have a single story building on the premises but will likely demolish this building as it's old and we are not sure of its structual integrity.
We have plans of the house - 1. wish to convert a large tile roof carport into a pool room. 2. Wish to install a pool 3. Minor internal changes 4. External staircase to link main house to the pool area We need design and then plans to submit on about a 90sqmt extension / conversion of existing car-port. It will need plans submitted - as it’s fundamentally changing the use. It will also require placing of a pool that may be across a 7m building line at the front of the house.
