How long does an architectural project typically last?
Let's go over the timeline for the construction of a new family home.
Project in early stages of planning. NPO being registered still. Existing structure in Bokkie park will be extended out towards the dam. same dimesions as existing structure. 21m long by 6m wide. We will enclose existing structure and build kitchen and bar. Extension will be enclosed carport basically with big sliding door openings facing dam. This will be for seating. On the far end next to bathroom a office and additional bathroom will be constructed. All bricks for walls and IBR sheeting for roof. Existing roof does need some patching.
Toilet is not flushing properly. It only flushes when I open the clean out pipe and let the air out. The last few days even that is not helping to make it flush and the drain fills up. Solids take forever to flush down. Water level in toilet drops and it makes a glugging sound that goes on until I open the clean out pipe.

In a 3.2 ha pice of land situated on a m bank of the vaal marina. 3 modern design houses each with a build size of m^2 to m^2 all having pools and semi ultra modern finishes. By the river bank a modern clubhouse with a build of m^2 with a deck going into the dam. The materiel to be used are concrete and steel mostly with huge glasses and very minimal usage of bricks.
We have already dug open the underground sewerage pipe. Roots of a tree grew into old clay type sewerage pipe. We shall also remove the existing sewerage pipe , 5 meter length. We have already bought the new mm underground sewerage pipe ( 6 meter length) as well as the connecter fittings ( mm ) . We have also bought the river sand which should be placed in the trench underneath the new pipe and also on top of the new pipe. Please quote to place the new pipe.
- Looking to have both my small bathrooms redone - Total tile change (floor and walls), paint change, light fitting change and blind change in both bathrooms - Family bathroom: move the shower to an over-the-bath shower for more space, move and replace the sink with something with more storage space, add a cabinet mirror for more storage space - En-suite: replace shower door (preferably with the glass from the family bathroom), move the toilet to the side slightly and replace the sink with a bigger one with storage, add a cabinet mirror for more storage space
Buglers came into the house to vandalize and steal all the steel in the house. Currently all the water taps, shower taps, basins taps, sink taps and all handles are missing therefore need replacement. An estimate of what is needed is following: - 2 bathtub tabs and handles - 2 basin dual (hot and cold) tabs - 2 shower tap and handles - 1 sink dual tab And other general plumbing services like reconnecting the municipality water back into the house.
Toilet and tap in main bathroom is leaking and the floor is getting very wet. The toilet seat which is a cream colour is cracked and needs to be replaced. The guest bathroom white toilet set needs to be replaced. The 2nd Bedroom white toilet set needs to be replaced. This toilet also has the push flushing pads built into the wall. The full flush is loose and needs to be looked at. The Basins in the main bathroom has the push in plugs silver they are not sealing properly and needs to be replaced. The Taps in the wash rooms does not want to turn close and it is very difficult to close once you have opened it. The double kitchen sinks in the kitchen also need 3 new press plugs which are different to the bathroom one's as they leak slowly once filled with water. We then have a blocked pipe in the front garden on the side of the house which is on our property. Thanking you
We have a cottage on our property that was once a garage. It has a bit of a strange design currently and we are looking to improve it. We want to make a bedroom by dividing the bathroom (which is currently huge) and also put a door and window at the back of the cottage to lead outside into a courtyard/deck garden. The new bedroom and new bathroom would also need windows put in. The current style is cottage windows and we would like to keep this style (but need to factor in security). The outside area is currently a wood store, so we need to build the deck and pergola and create a nice outside area. Drainage would need to be put in to ensure water doesn't collect from the mountainside. We would like our kitchen improved significantly. We would also like our bathroom redesigned and improved. We have a limited budget. There is a security concern from the back of the cottage (which we think is why there haven't been doors or windows inserted before) and we need to fence off the back area and screen it off from the mountain so that people can't see into the property, so we are also looking to put screening up (probably latte fencing). There is an existing gate that leads to the mountain, which is currently a security concern, but we would like to keep this if possible, but make it more secure. We would love to hear from builders about ways to approach this project - quoting on the full job, and also advising, if necessary, on a phased process, if we do not have all of the necessary capital immediately. We would be looking to start the project in May. We hope to have the project finished by September . I don't think we need building plans as we aren't changing the shape of the shell of the building.
I just moved into my house November , so there is a lot of work to be done. All floors needs to be done with tiles. Built in cupboards for both the kitchen and rooms. The ceiling needs to b done, new doors and windows, paint both interior and exterior, plus paving for the outside. New lights, a new sink etc
