Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
I would like to build a 1 Bedroom Flatlet (+-30m2) above my existing lounge / dining room of my house. It should have a separate entrance and a deck to take advantage of the peninsula views. I still need an architect / draftsman to draw up plans for approval. I'm attaching my draft of ideas as reference. I would like to know more or less what a build like this would cost (bathroom, kitchen, tiling, decking etc. all inclusive). Please contact me via email for the quotes.
The project will be in the rural areas in Queenstown hence no municipal approval required. The size of the site is 60mX20m and front facing the east. The house will have 3 bedrooms(one the rooms with ensuite), open plan lounge and dining room, with the kitchen nicely hidden from the lounge but visible to the dining room area,double garage, bathroom and separate toilet, small scullery/laundry, small linen walking closet/storage place.
Hi We have a stand with a log cabin in Cape St Francis and would like to look at adding a more permanent brick structure onto it. The length is around 13,5m by 4.5m with a layout of potentially: a room 3.5m by 3m, shower/toilet 1.8m long, another room 3.5m by 3m this with a front section walkway of 1m wide and then the rest into a counter area for shelves or small kitchenette open storage/workshop space etc. The log cabin is apparently good for another 10 years or so, but we want to build this space onto it to eventually expand once the log cabin is end of life. Hence, we would like to understand the costs of this new section based on: 1. Ability to add on top double storey brick 2. Single storey only 3. Single storey brick and top storey wood. If the above has any price implications etc. If it is possible to understand a rough per meter cost for budgeting purposes that would be great thank you.
I need a 23m x 2.2m plastered boundary wall on Oak Ave,.out of SABS large cement blocks with the necessary brickforce. It requires a 4m gap for the gate .The only pillars will be on either side of the gate gap .The length of the actual construction is approximately 28m.There is an existing concrete base for a steel with a wrought iron fence . I will remove the fence.
We're looking at building a double garage, roughly 40sqm plus an additional parking, maybe length ways next to the left of the new garage, in front of an existing house.The problem is that there is granite underneath which will have to be excavated to road level and only then can the building commence. The only place available is to the right of the photo and there is a 1.5m building line. New steps to the top of the house will have to be constructed as well. Please see photos.
exterior I just want the structure to be built in fully with the roof and all exterior stuff like : windows, doors. interior I would all the inside wall according to the plan I have to also be built with the stairs. lastly, I want all the inside and outside walls top plaster. I want a big kitchen and lounge along with the dining room. The kitchen along with the lounge will be open plan and on the other side will be stairs with the dining table to eat. The second floor will be the rooms( )
Please tell me , do you also do ground work and construction of training centres and workshops ? For example we want to put up 1 qty x 50 meter x 50 meter x 6 meter high and 1 x 50 meter x 50 meter x 8 meter high. both of these 2 buildings will be about 6 meter apart but still next to each other .. With that I'm looking for deasant ground work , cement slabs inside for flooring at the highest standard as we want to use the 8 meter high shop / training centre with overhead cranes and heavy loads. The 6 meter will only be training centre with class rooms. with that all plumbing work and electrical work to be included... Will you be able to estimate quote on that ?
