How long does an architectural project typically last?
Let's go over the timeline for the construction of a new family home.
Currently we have a 2 bedroom home and a small bathroom. All of the rooms are too small. We want to remove the current bathroom completely because it is next to the kitchen and make that space part of the kitchen. We want to use one of the existing rooms to convert it into a bathroom. We then want to extend the other bedroom as well as the kitchen and lounge area and add another bedroom as well.
The client requires 2 bathroom renovations. Bathroom 1 is 7sqm and includes the adjoining of the common bathroom and toilet by demolishing the existing wall between the two and bricking one of the doors. The bathroom will include a new bath, shower, hand wash basin/ vanity and toilet with new plumbing to exterior wall. new tiling and

We will be doing the furnishings on the inside like the taps and basins and such as well as the furnishings on the outside. We will need the builder to assist with plumbing and electrical but not much else. We are only willing to go up to R2,5 million in total for the building of this house.
Designing an educational centre- themed as an Animal Welfare Discovery Centre. It is about animal welfare and environmental education for all age groups, building on the sanctuary experiences and education concept- to promote behaviour change towards a world where people treat animals with respect empathy and understanding. The designs should reflect these educational elements and aligned to the One Welfare (animal welfare-human welfare and environmental aspects) framework. We are looking for an environmentally friendly building (low carbon footprint, sustainable use of water resources, green technology)
The estate requires that the design of the house be a South African vernacular farm and country style, but I would like it to have a very modern twist to it. I am currently in the process of discussing with architects and once that is finalised, I will need a good building contractor who can bring the vision for the home to life.
I need a replacement quote on our Sectional Title units in a complex please; generally 2 bed units of +-87 square meter each; and a boat locker each of 36 square meter. There is 24 units and we just want to ensure we are correctly insured. What is the average building cost for the unit and the garage please? It has standard finishes mostly.
House and garage was attached via adjoining wall which is currently the extended kitchen and dining room. Roof for the above mentioned currently is waterproofed and shutterply. Additions to be done, remove waterproofing and shutterply, remove garage roof which sits approximately 20sqm, deck both roofs with the possibility of additional room above decking.
I'm looking to buy a plot on Darling golf course and build a 3-bed house for my family and myself. Intention is to start out as cheap as possible, and create something we can develop over time. Currently selling my home in Cape Town to make funds available, would like to talk through my options with somebody.
We live in an older house. Our washing machine is working quite well, but we need someone to come out and check because our washing sometimes comes out with yellow-ish or orange stains. This also happens in the sink as well and because it is several spots in the house - I think it could be a problem with our pipes. They could be rusted.
