Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
I am building a main house with a cottage on a open piece of land in Langevlei Dunes, wilderness/Kleinkranz. I am looking for a general quote of cost per square meter so that I can short list builders. I currently live in Uitenhage and will becoming to the garden route to finalise a builder and my building plans.
3 bedroom house All the bedrooms must have a bathroom but the 2 bedrooms it must only be a shower,toilet and basin then the main bedroom's bathroom must have a shower, bathtub, basin and a toilet then The lounge A seating room And a spare toilet,basin and bathtub And a kitchen Double garage
*Renovating an open plan kitchen to be more functional, better functional design and more clever storage solutions. *breaking through to incorporate two back to back bathrooms into one larger, more spacious main bathroom en suite with walk in wardrobe. This is for my mum, I am doing this project on behalf of her, I require quotes to compare and make an informed decision on which avenue to go with.
Plans were submitted and approved. An engineer has been appointed. Want to remodel (break down 2 walls and refurbish existing bathroom) sub economic house and add an upper level consisting of a bathroom, 2 bedrooms and a pyjama lounge. The plan is to use nutec/timber on the upper level and a conservatory on the ground floor level. Please see attached plan.
We have plans for a multi phase product with various building works needed. Phase 1 - Conversion of double garage into a small flatlet (marked gymnasium on the drawing attached) the drawing only indicates requirements to pass the plans, but we would need all the additionals such as kitchen cupboards, BIC in bedroom and plumbing done (we have our own electrician) Phase 2 - Conversion of outbuilding into small bachelor pad (marked storeroom conversion on the drawings). here it would be the same as per the Garage conversion with less tilework but all the Sanware and plumbing included. The plans for this section will likely change a bit, but the general idea is indicated on the drawings. Phase 3 - Newly Built staff quarters. This will be a complete build from foundation to roofing. Due to the slant of the property the unit will likely be build on a platform or dug out to level the ground for building works. Phase 4 - Yard work. there is a tar driveway that needs to be extended into the property with parking bays. there is also 2 precast concrete walls to put up (10m and 18m approximately) as well as an existing parking bay needing renovation. Please could you be so kind as to provide estimates and quotes divided into the phases of the project so we can make decisions on the order of the phases based on cashflow and budgets.
Repair - maintenance. Roof room was built 30 years ago by Adrian Greylling and is generally in very good condition . We have been very happy with room. However the outer layer of the sheets of wooden material used for the walls, is crumbling in small sections - facing into the weather Would like to assess repair before Cape winter

This is a commercial building that needs to be gutted and demolished completely on the inside and new furnishes need to be done including flooring on the whole of the inside and outside areas. This project has a strict timeline and I am requesting that I am able to get access to the building from the 1st of April and I am expecting hand-over by the end of April.
