How long does an architectural project typically last?
Let's go over the timeline for the construction of a new family home.
It is a residential property that I am considering purchasing. But would like ideas on space within the house, current floors or replace the floors, would think I need to replace cupboards, etc. house is 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, dining room, kitchen and a bar. Just want to ensure the most optimal space. Is that something you are able to assist with?
My place is in Welkom. I'm busy trying to do rezoning and the town planner suggested that I should get an architect to do a plan for me. According to him he said the municipality can only allow 8 rooms. My wishes: 8 rooms, I wanted more if possible but with the restrictions in that municipality it might be a problem according to the town planner. I also need each room to have small kitchen area, place to sleep, and toilet with shower.
The front of the house is a double storey, the back is only one storey. I need another floor added to the single storey, with a double garage, bedroom, bathroom and entertainment room. As well as a kitchen and dining room at the bottom of the existing floor. The bottom floor would be around 11 x 9sqm and the top floor would be 6 x 9sqm.
A few small jobs, eg plastering here and there, rhino lite on 4 walls, varnishing and fitting of 2 doors, fitting of skirting to 25m length walls, fitting of 4 curtain rails, paving in front of double garage for 2 vehicles (approx 4m), "relaxing" of ramp in front of double garage that is currently too high
We would like to add a roof with to an existing structure outside by the kitchen door as it has current walls plus two small gates. We would like to have one door and the roof has to have a rectangular aluminum and safety glass skylight. We unfortunately do not have house plans to supply the correct sizes.
I am currently away and site visits can be arranged with my son in Durbanville. Please contact me on email and we can then discuss further and make arrangements. We need to lift up all the tiles in downstairs area Inspect the foundation for possible cracks where we had water well up during the winter Repair the slab where and if necessary Ensure it’s ready and in condition to tile or screed Remove skirting which got wet Inspect replace or simply renovate and put back Seal cracks in a wall on outside where we think there was possible water entry Remove windows and doors and plaster ready to have new aluminium single unit inserted Ensure all tiles and rubble chipped up is carried to skip for removal Painting of areas where required Leave site in clean and neat condition
1. Balcony window • Re-secure the window bar’s fittings into the correct position across the width of the window. (The window bar came loose and is currently held in place with cable ties.) 2. Balcony wall (Option 1 - Seal & paint) • Remove all paint off balcony wall down to original brick work • Apply x2 coats of xypex concentrate • Apply primer once xypex has dried • Apply x2 coats white bathroom paint (mould-proof) to entire balcony wall, surrounding balcony walls and balcony ceiling 3. Balcony wall (Option 2 - Paint only) • Apply x2 coats white bathroom paint (mould-proof) to entire balcony wall, surrounding balcony walls and balcony ceiling 4. Kitchen wall • Break through a section of the kitchen wall to create a 'sort of' half wall between the kitchen and living room, given the potential structural limitations of the wall. The aim is: To have light carry through from the kitchen to the lounge in the afternoon, and from the lounge to the kitchen in the morning. The apartment is quite dark. To create more of a connection between the kitchen and the living area, making it feel less isolated, but still separated. To ever so slightly increase the usable surface area in the kitchen. 5. Parquet floor sanding • Sand down the parquet floor and baseboards in the bedroom, lounge and entry-way. Then, re-stain with a light stain to remove scratches, stick down loose pieces and overall lighten the apartment. Thanks so much!

As an expert, I can provide you with guidance on how to create a layout plan for the proposed conference/events venue, considering the specifications provided. Here is a suggested layout plan: 1. Accommodation: - Allocate space for hotels, chalets, and lodges in a centralized location within the venue. - Ensure enough rooms are available to accommodate a minimum of people comfortably. 2. Catering facilities/kitchen: - Designate a large area for the catering facilities/kitchen adjacent to the banquet halls for easy accessibility. - Include storage areas for food, equipment, and waste management. 3. Banquet halls: - Place the banquet halls close to the catering facilities to facilitate efficient service. - Design the large banquet hall to accommodate a maximum of people, the medium hall for people, and the small hall for people. - Consider flexible partitioning options to combine or separate the halls if required. 4. Restrooms: - Distribute multiple restroom facilities strategically throughout the venue to ensure convenience. - Allocate separate restroom areas for staff and guests, ensuring accessibility and hygiene. 5. Administrative building: - Include a dedicated administrative building where event organizers and venue staff can coordinate logistics. - Designate office spaces, meeting rooms, and storage areas to support administrative functions. 6. Chapel/place of worship: - Allocate a serene area within the venue premises for the chapel or place of worship, suitable for weddings and other ceremonies. - Ensure the space can accommodate the desired number of guests. 7. Auditorium: - Include a multipurpose auditorium suitable for various events like presentations, seminars, and performances. - Design the space to cater to a significant number of attendees and provide necessary equipment and facilities. 8. Breakaway rooms: - Designate three small breakaway rooms for smaller group discussions, workshops, or seminars. - Each room should be able to accommodate a maximum of 50 people and equipped with necessary amenities. 9. Gardens: - Design and allocate outdoor garden areas suitable for hosting events like outdoor weddings, receptions, or social gatherings. - Consider incorporating greenery, seating arrangements, and scenic elements to create an inviting atmosphere. 10. Additional features: - Based on the specific requirements of the venue and local regulations, you can consider additional features such as parking areas, accessibility ramps, outdoor recreational spaces, or technology infrastructure (audio-visual equipment, Wi-Fi connectivity, etc.).
To whom it may concern. We are would like to build a double storey home in Rangeview on an erf that has spectacular views. We have quite a couple of ideas and would like to meet to discuss and get an idea of what it would cost to build our home and get the process of building our home as soon as it would be possible for us.
