I'm considering the possibility of adding a 2nd story to my house. Would like a similar layout to the ground floor with the exception of a kitchen on the top floor and using that extra space for a outside balcony section. House 60sqm and would want the top floor to consist of 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, with a open space for and entertainment area and balcony area. I attached the original plans for the house.
Kitchen: I would like a quote for remodelling the kitchen in the house we have just purchased. I would like to remove all existing cabinets and install modern farm style green cabinets, with a wooden work top. We would want cabinets only on the bottom half and open shelving on the top, as it has a pantry and we would not need cabinets above. I would also like a matching island, preferably with a Butler's sink and space for 3 bar stools. We would also want to replace the existing sinks with butler's sinks.

Hi We would like to extend one side of the townhouse out by about 2 meters. It’s the side of the house with the kitchen, lounge, 2 bathrooms and main bedroom so this would be making these rooms bigger. Please see attached photo. We would like to add a covered patio with built in braai stand on the other side of the house which would be approximately 6 x 2 meters. Please see attached photos of where we would like patio to be as well as an example of the patio we would like. We would like to put in a swimming pool approximately 5 x 3 meters. Please see attached photo of where the pool would be. We need the building plans latest by Friday 13 August. We are going to the property on Wednesday 11 August at 5.30pm. We would like the person who will make the building plans to join us for this appointment to view the site and take necessary details/ measurements in order to make the necessary building plans and give a more accurate quotation for total cost. The building plans will need to be detailed enough for review by the body corporate. Please see the attached photos of what we have in mind. How much will you charge for the site visit and building plans? Kind Regards
