How long does an architectural project typically last?
Let's go over the timeline for the construction of a new family home.
I need to redo a bedroom into an office and lounge space. I would need the removal of old doors to be replaced with new doors and the removal of cupboard doors and replacement with new. The skirting of the room needs to be sanded and old paint on them removed and restained. Walls need to be painted including accent walls. Built in cupboard needs to be redone. Shelving needs to be designed and installed.
We are moving into a rented house, which we may decide to buy and renovate later. Initially we would like a quote for doing some restoration/repair work and a thorough repainting of the main downstairs rooms as well as the 3 bedrooms upstairs - we will have occupancy from 1st of Feb but will be allowed access before that to complete the work. If the work is good quality, you would be considered for the larger renovation once the property is purchased. Thanks,
1) To remove the retainer blocks in question against the precast fence between units 2 and 3. 2) To excavate and pour a 25 MPA concrete foundation. 3) To construct a new 1, high wall as close as possible to the precast wall – face bricks to match the existing walls and common bricks to be used behind the face bricks. 4) To remove the existing paver blocks at the proposed new position of the spa - bath - to lay the above blocks elsewhere as required by the owner. 5) To lay a level mm thick 25mpa concrete slab on top of BRC mesch – size of slab to accommodate the spa-bath. The edges of the slab are not to protrude more than mm from the edges of the spa – bath.
Retaining wall to be built along length of the house and as a support structure for sinking swimming pool . Foundation to be pinned. Large tree to be removed with root system to be killed off. Septic tank and sewage system to be replaced. Water and geyser system to be replaced/upgraded to improve water pressure and flow. Floor tiles to be removed so that foundation can be repaired. Tiles to be replaced. Major structural cracks on walls to be repaired.
I am building a main house with a cottage on a open piece of land in Langevlei Dunes, wilderness/Kleinkranz. I am looking for a general quote of cost per square meter so that I can short list builders. I currently live in Uitenhage and will becoming to the garden route to finalise a builder and my building plans.
3 bedroom house All the bedrooms must have a bathroom but the 2 bedrooms it must only be a shower,toilet and basin then the main bedroom's bathroom must have a shower, bathtub, basin and a toilet then The lounge A seating room And a spare toilet,basin and bathtub And a kitchen Double garage
*Renovating an open plan kitchen to be more functional, better functional design and more clever storage solutions. *breaking through to incorporate two back to back bathrooms into one larger, more spacious main bathroom en suite with walk in wardrobe. This is for my mum, I am doing this project on behalf of her, I require quotes to compare and make an informed decision on which avenue to go with.
Plans were submitted and approved. An engineer has been appointed. Want to remodel (break down 2 walls and refurbish existing bathroom) sub economic house and add an upper level consisting of a bathroom, 2 bedrooms and a pyjama lounge. The plan is to use nutec/timber on the upper level and a conservatory on the ground floor level. Please see attached plan.
We have plans for a multi phase product with various building works needed. Phase 1 - Conversion of double garage into a small flatlet (marked gymnasium on the drawing attached) the drawing only indicates requirements to pass the plans, but we would need all the additionals such as kitchen cupboards, BIC in bedroom and plumbing done (we have our own electrician) Phase 2 - Conversion of outbuilding into small bachelor pad (marked storeroom conversion on the drawings). here it would be the same as per the Garage conversion with less tilework but all the Sanware and plumbing included. The plans for this section will likely change a bit, but the general idea is indicated on the drawings. Phase 3 - Newly Built staff quarters. This will be a complete build from foundation to roofing. Due to the slant of the property the unit will likely be build on a platform or dug out to level the ground for building works. Phase 4 - Yard work. there is a tar driveway that needs to be extended into the property with parking bays. there is also 2 precast concrete walls to put up (10m and 18m approximately) as well as an existing parking bay needing renovation. Please could you be so kind as to provide estimates and quotes divided into the phases of the project so we can make decisions on the order of the phases based on cashflow and budgets.
Repair - maintenance. Roof room was built 30 years ago by Adrian Greylling and is generally in very good condition . We have been very happy with room. However the outer layer of the sheets of wooden material used for the walls, is crumbling in small sections - facing into the weather Would like to assess repair before Cape winter
