Hello Sir I bought a plot on a seaside in Laaiplek Velddrift, about km from Cape Town Central, and will like to develop a 5-6 bedroom house that features everything a beautiful house can have. The house can be divided into 2 separates houses of 3 bedrooms each but just look like one house. The house can go one floor up, and very open for sea view and freshness all around. The size of the plot is m2 and is about m from the beach and situated in the Atlantic Waves development in Laaiplek Kindly advise Thank You
I have flat roof sections in my house above the kitchen and entrance hall and need to build a pitched roof due to water leaks.I have made repairs to no avail and the cost to waterproof does not warrant the expenditure. I was looking at just building the roofing for now above the kitchen and entrance hall and later turning the area above the kitchen into a study. While having to submit plans i would also like to determine cost of adding a patio to the plans infront of the area C on the current plans (attachment 1) which wraps around to area A (New coverage). The current roof is corrugated roof sheeting and would be used for both the area above the kitchen as well as the patio. Kind regards
