Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
I have identified a residential land in Kuils River and I have a plan of building 10 70m² properties on the land. These properties will have to be modern affordable homes, a 2 bedroom house that will have garage/parking space and then some room where one can put a granny flat if they choose. I need a figure of how much would material and labour cost for such project, from start to finish.
We would like to build a 4 bedroomed, double storey house, X2 Garages, x2 Bathrooms, X1 large living space. House to be build in rural area, in Sterkspruit, +/- kms from Bloemfontein. However, there's no building plans except just a piece of land to build on. All I need is an idea of how much such a property could cost, building plans, landscaping and construction. Would also appreciate your advice and guidance.

On the far end next to bathroom a office and additional bathroom will be constructed. All bricks for walls and IBR sheeting for roof. Existing roof does need some patching.

- Looking to have both my small bathrooms redone - Total tile change (floor and walls), paint change, light fitting change and blind change in both bathrooms - Family bathroom: move the shower to an over-the-bath shower for more space, move and replace the sink with something with more storage space, add a cabinet mirror for more storage space - En-suite: replace shower door (preferably with the glass from the family bathroom), move the toilet to the side slightly and replace the sink with a bigger one with storage, add a cabinet mirror for more storage space
We have a cottage on our property that was once a garage. It has a bit of a strange design currently and we are looking to improve it. We want to make a bedroom by dividing the bathroom (which is currently huge) and also put a door and window at the back of the cottage to lead outside into a courtyard/deck garden. The new bedroom and new bathroom would also need windows put in. The current style is cottage windows and we would like to keep this style (but need to factor in security). The outside area is currently a wood store, so we need to build the deck and pergola and create a nice outside area. Drainage would need to be put in to ensure water doesn't collect from the mountainside. We would like our kitchen improved significantly. We would also like our bathroom redesigned and improved. We have a limited budget. There is a security concern from the back of the cottage (which we think is why there haven't been doors or windows inserted before) and we need to fence off the back area and screen it off from the mountain so that people can't see into the property, so we are also looking to put screening up (probably latte fencing). There is an existing gate that leads to the mountain, which is currently a security concern, but we would like to keep this if possible, but make it more secure. We would love to hear from builders about ways to approach this project - quoting on the full job, and also advising, if necessary, on a phased process, if we do not have all of the necessary capital immediately. We would be looking to start the project in May. We hope to have the project finished by September . I don't think we need building plans as we aren't changing the shape of the shell of the building.
I just moved into my house November , so there is a lot of work to be done. All floors needs to be done with tiles. Built in cupboards for both the kitchen and rooms. The ceiling needs to b done, new doors and windows, paint both interior and exterior, plus paving for the outside. New lights, a new sink etc
