We require a cost estimate for the building of the new residential house. The land we have allows for a duet house and the architects have designed it in such a way the house looks like one unit however it is split. I need registered contractors to execute the plan. Please feel free to email the quotes and then we will take it from there.
I am planning to build a 4 bedroom house by the gold estate areas that will have 4 bathrooms, lounge, dining area and an open plan kitchen. I also need a patio but with this one, I will discuss the designs with the contractor. I also need a carport structure for my cars as well. Please feel free to contact me for more info.

Good morning, please can you provide a quote for the following plumbing issue. There is a T junction where the sewer from one toilet runs into the pipe from the main toilet. The T junction is within about 2 metres from the main toilet and 5 metres from the second toilet. There appears to be a broken or damaged pipe in this area and this restriction is creating a blockage. It seems that the T junction will need to be replaced. There is obviously paving that needs to be removed in order to reach this section. We have previously had a plumber in who tried to clear the blockage and gave us the above information. We would like to receive a few quotes before going ahead with the repairs. Thank you. Kind regards

We are planning on ordering/building 5 barn types of steel structures like what BMI steel does (roof and support). Looking at a 15m x 30m home on 1 level (4,5m to eve’s height), I am trying to establish a very rough estimate for the shareholders. It is for a farm set-up. We like nice finishes but they must be suitable for the farm environment. Our one particular home should have 4 bedrooms, 3 ensuite bathrooms, a patio, battery room for solar, and big open plan living areas. We have an architect friend to draw up plans. I am trying to form a rough idea for now, if possible pls.
