I have a 65 sq m flat, single story. I would like to extend up until the 3 x 9m stoep and enclose. The roof is a zinc flat roof. The 3 rooms will be extended to the end of the stoep. A foundation will need to be installed. The existing 3 x shutter doors will be repositioned. The outer external walls are 50% complete already. Excuse the mess. We had a small storm that day. Can you give me a rough estimate what the costs will be. The Body Corporate have approved the extension. I just need plans to submit. I am overseas but can be reached on whatsapp anytime.

Our holiday home at 9 Sydney St, Plettenberg Bay, has an old roof with fibre cement roof sheeting. This is old and breaking up with new cracks and leaks appearing from time to time. We need advice on the options and prices to replace the roof. I will be in Plett from 23 Jan for 3 weeks and you will be able to meet with me, view the roof and suggest alternatives with prices during this time.
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,
