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.

We bought a house, never knew that the flatlet was not on the building plans. So we looking around for someone just to change the garage to the existing flatlet. So needing prices, we got asked R just to change garage to flatlet. Which I feel is really a rip off. I do understand things cost money but not at that price.
Good day. Can I kindly request a quote. I want to close my patio with either sliding doors or stackable doors depending on affordability. Main door = 6m wide X 2.5m high. Second opening = 1.7m wide X 2.5m high Third opening = 1.5m wide X 2.5m There are two existing sliding doors which I'd like to remove and reuse if possible, their measurements are as follows; 2.4m wide X 2.1m high 1.8m wide X 2.1m high I understand that the final quote will be based on final measurements but I'm seeking an estimate for now. Please quote me and advise with regards to alternative options as I am not fixed with heights. If the 2.1m heights are more feasible, then I'll be happy to install block windows above the doors. The two sides of the patio do not need to be accessible.
I recently discovered there are no drawings at the Rustenburg municipality for my townhouse. I need "as built" drawings of the townhouse and thatched lapa to comply to insurance requirements and to be able to sell my property. The townhouse is in the Arendskloof complex. Thank you for your quote.
