We have a one bedroom house in Craighall Park. Connected to the master bedroom is a studio office (not accessible by the bedroom) and connected to the studio office is a smaller room. We could like to incorporate the studio and smaller room into the main house to create additional rooms. This is a project which will require 1) knocking down existing walls, 2) constructing a corridor and 3) constructing walls to separate the new space into separate rooms.

+- 50m2 - Durbigum OR Torch-on (ABE). Need a quote for the bill of quantity - hence there is no need to have people contact me. A Bill of Quantity is to establish costing. Once the client approves the estimate then an appointed contractor is informed. Pricing - includes material & labour. Draws are paid on progress and not a deposit - that tells me a contractor is not positioned financially - material on site is another matter altogether. See JCB for standard contractual info.

I have a patio that has a foundation and ceiling but it is not enclosed. This patio is in front of a bedroom. I would like to convert the patio to a bathroom (fully enclosed). It is 3-4m from the main sewerage lines, close to water and electricity. It will be +- 1,6m x 6m, and must include a walk in shower, basin and toilet only. (no bath) Also requires the foundation to be leveled as the patio is about 20cm lower than the bedroom. The current bedroom window would have to be removed but can be reused. I also want built in closets and a door, tiling and a light.
I need to convert my open patio on top on the garage into a bedroom with a full bathroom. Find attached the current plan to give you an idea of the work. The Architect is working on the new plan and will share once available. If I can get a high level costing I would appreciate that. I will buy all my materials I want to be charged for labour only which includes building and plastering the walls to roof level. Please note two sides of the walls are built already to 1.8m. see current plan for details
