Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
It's my first house project. My current location is Witbank. The house is supposed to be built in Thohoyandou, Venda Limpopo. I have an idea of the house and the details of the house. Details of the house are : Brief of the House *Ground Floor*: Grand Entrance with double volume Chefs Kitchen with back and front kitchen Scullery and walk in Pantry Laundry room Dining Area to open to the deck with pool views. 2x Lounges (Formal and Family) with fireplace. TV lounge with bar 1x Guest Bedroom with Ensuite Guest Bathroom Library Maids Quarters with ensuite Outdoor entertainment area with Braai area, bar, Boma and swimming pool. Pool house with Bar and full Bathroom Storage Outside Gardener Toilet and tool storage area 3x Garage *1st floor* Pyjama Lounge with Kitchenette and balcony Office/ Study Linen room ( for towel and linen) Gym 4x Bedrooms with Ensuite, Walk in Closet with Balcony Master Bedroom with his and hers Walk in Closet and ensuite. Approximately +/- sqm
Two bedroom, kitchen, sitting room and one toilet. Would like to add a dinning room. Nothing has been done since the early '80 when it was built. The plan is to flip the house and renovat it and add a room. Considering that it is a old structure, would like change the roofing, timber, and ceiling. Plastering, tiling, electricity and plumbing.
- Remove existing wadrobes (2.5 x 0.56 m) & install them in the outside room - Remove bath (1.94 x 1.21 m) - Build wall separating bathroom (remaining shower, toilet & basin) from the closet (see below) - remove part of window & brick it - Install walk in closet where the bath is & mirror entry door - may need to remodel the rest of the bathroom Will need plan to agree on the design before we start.
Upgrade of bathroom: remove existing tiles on floors and walls; Install new mid-range tiles; convert large shower into a bath/shower combo with clear partition and recessed shelf; upgrade existing double vanity with new countertop, sinks, and hardware; remove bidet but keep existing toilet; paint section of walls where not retiled; (Not sure if plans are required?)
Important notes: 1. Property to be built on a private nature reserve. 2. Erf is zoned as rural. 3. There is no electricity, so it will require a generator if need be. 4. NO TRUCKS can reach the stands. The roads allow for bakkies, possibly with a trailer. 3 Tonne truck should also be fine. 5. Builders are not allowed to stay on the stand overnight. There is accommodation available at the farm gate (about 10km or so from the stand).

It is a room below the main house that is used for storage, we want to change it into a bedroom with a bathroom (including shower and toilet) We need it to have the same finishes as the main house. The only difficulty will be getting the plumbing for a toilet in there as it may need to be pumped upwards into the main sewage line.
Looking to build a property on a stand which I would like to make purchase of. Something very modern, industrial residential. The stand is in Kyalami area. The image attached is some design inspiration, no tiles or paint. Just bricks and screed. Would like to understand current costs to build from ground up. My banker said to find estimates from contractors to match into a building bond.
