Hi there, My husband and I are wanting to build a double garage on our property with a workshop extension. We already have the drawing completed. We just need it to be double checked (in case of requirements not being met) and submitted to council. Please could you send through a quote of what the cost is likely to be and what the process entails (waiting time etc.) Have an awesome day! Kind regards,
At the moment, our lounge dining room and kitchen are open planned. There’s a loft above the kitchen. We would like to extend the lounge(by 3m) and give our house a modern finish. We would like to build a double volume lounge ,dining room. Outside the kitchen is an entertainment area which is 6x6m, we would like to incorporate the entertainment with the house.
As a school we are wanting to renovate our staff room. I attach an architect's proposed plan. It will include renovating the kitchen, putting vinyl flooring, replacing chairs and tables, building new pigeon holes for 72 teachers, replacing stack doors to the outside patio and upgrading the patio area with a screen. It will also require removing a current dry wall phone booth. 21 Middlebrook Avenue, Danville Park Girls High School
