How long does an architectural project typically last?
Let's go over the timeline for the construction of a new family home.
The idea for the house which we will use at retirement in a few years time would be as follows: --80--90m2 max total interior floor area. Ideally the house should face North to take advantage to the light and perhaps a bit of the mountain view. --3 bedrooms (one of which must be on ground floor should the design be for a two storey building to accommodate us should we not be able to access the second floor (due to old age, for example). --2 bathrooms --To be added in another phase perhaps: a garage (for one vehicle, but with additional space for a laundry and tiny workshop area). Access will be possible from the garage into the house. We came across a design on YouTube that we really feel captures most of what we are hoping for in the house. I have included the link to this on YouTube : https://youtu.be/cSIFIDb5loI
Kitchen renovation: full scope including making kitchen bigger. Cabinets; plumbing; removing wall; plastering; installation of gas job and electric oven; clearance certificate for gas; etc Braai room: converting existing braai into a wood burning fireplace without insert. Adding wood mantel and cabinets on each side of fireplace.
Bathroom 1: expanding shower; installation of new taps and fittings, tiling (floor and walls), addressing any damp issues, installation/building of new double vanity (and removal of old vanity) Bathroom 2: removal of old vanity and installing/bullring new single vanity; repairing tiles if needed Kitchen: removal of old wall and floor tiles and counters; removal/repurpose some cabinets; re wrapping of current cabinets; changing some cabinets to glass doors; extending peninsula; installation of quartz countertops tops, new sink and stove; retailing floor and backsplash.
New cottage in Riverside Estate as per specifications in approved building plan - wall construction either by means of the preferred FinnBuilder method or standard cement blockwork (in other words quotation must provide for the two alternatives) PC amounts for Light Fittings and Bathroom/Sanitary Ware still to be determined. Please feel free to contact me for more info.
Currently, have a 2 bedroom home, and my plan is to extend the house to a double-storey. I want a three-bedroom at the top, a master bedroom with an ensuite and another bathroom for kids. Then downstairs, I want an open plan kitchen, dining room, lounge, and another toilet for visitors. I have an existing house plan though. Thank you, I will be waiting for your call.
Hi my name is . I need to tile my house it is 40square meter. I need cupboards for the Kitchen and built-it stove. New ceiling for bathroom and just a paint for ceiling in the other rooms, new toilet seat for bathroom. And new fitted wardrobe for 2 rooms one smaller and the other bigger. My budget is small for all the project it is about R50 .
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.
