Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
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
I would like to rebuild my mother's house in Letlhabile. It's currently a two bedroomed, toilet (No bath or shower), a small kitchen and lounge. I would like to restructure it as it seems to not be built properly or standing in the correct position. I would like to demolish all of it or most of it and build a three bedroomed home, with an ensuite in one of the rooms, a fully functional bathroom, a lounge, kitchen and dining room. I'm looking to have a modern/minimalistic look to it inside. This would also include a double garage and refencing of the property. I would have loved to attach a photo of the home stand however do not have any at the moment.
Good Day, I am looking for someone that can assist with a boundary wall - I either need the current vibacrete wall to be removed and install a new 1.8 m vibacrete wall or have a normal brick wall built around the property. This is for a children's home that we are assisting in getting their security upgraded. Thank you

The project is a campus for a primary and high school. Precise measurements are pending. I would like a preliminary quote based on the information available on the rough draft. Ignore the measurements on the draft, take into account the number buildings and rooms. Ignore the distances between the buildings as that is also subject to change.
There’s an existing Boundary wall that needs to be demolished and reconstructed the wall is out of municipal lines and is built on top of the drain but the main reason for demolition is because the boundary wall wasn’t built prope from the first place. I need plans for a Garage and 2 Flatlets each with own toilet and shower.
Renovating bathroom. Everything has been removed already, main feed in the wall but new pipes required Toilet stays in the same place, but the pipes need to be slightly adjusted.
