Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
Cottage or small house with verandas, on a slope, modular for add-ons at a later date. I'd also like a quote on a bigger version of the above, at to m.sq. Do you do double-story/dorma rooms and mezanines? Does this work out economically per m.squ, for additional space. Do you build with underfloor and other (wall and ceiling) insulation? With thanks Helen

We live in a complex. The bathroom door frame is rusting and needs refurbishment. What may be costly though is that the frame is a junction frame. There is a room with door frame aligned next to the bathroom frame. This job may need cutting into cement and brick as it's a metal frame. This then effects the tiling as well. The rust may be deep and a patchwork job may not work. Many thanks
Hi I am planning on building a house of about to square meters on a square meter plot in Hurlingham.

What ball pack cost can to estimate, understanding that you would have to survey and quote? Thanks
I am looking at extending my home, but considering the options and what would be most cost effective. I am considering two options: 1. A granny flat- with 2 beds, bath, open plan lounge and kitchen 2. Adding on a second floor, with 3 beds, bath and open plan lounge and kitchen. Preferably with an outside stairs, but not sure if building regulations allow this. Need to connect with an "advisor" then can give some ideas, before we proceed with having plans drawn up etc.
1. Open plan rondavel 3 m in diameter with black roof 2. The roof should have a strip of glass right round for natural sunlight (skylight) 3. The door should face north and be wide enough for a wheelchair to pass through 4. The interior should have wooden walls and roof and floors 5. The windows should open and there should be no windows located on the south side of the the building. 5. The picture I have attached is what I want
