I want to completely renovate my house. I have a facebrick house that I bought without doing a proper home inspection. A lot of work needs to be done. 1. I want to build a new boundary wall 2. Pave the yard and landscape the garden 3. Resurface the pool 4. Get rid of some trees 5. Install new garage doors 6. Renovate all bathrooms 7. Dress the exterior walls 8. Install new bedroom wardrobes 9. Renovate the kitchen
I need some maintenance and relatively minor (hopefully) repairs and painting done on my home including; bathroom grout/silicone repair, kitchen cabinet repair (hoping maintenance can be done rather than a remodel) and some painting done due to minor water damage in spots. Various other small things as well.
I have the plans but they still need to be submitted to council. I have recently bought a plot in De Rust, where I would like to build a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home. Around sqm. I am going to be completely off grid and want someone that can integrate solar electricity and water collection systems into the build. I want a very simple and elegant build, open plan. I have a strict budget to stick to and will be building through means of a building loan through the bank. I am ideally looking for a turn key solution and want to avoid having to sub contract too much of the work. Thank you in advance for your quote.
The current house inside walls must be removed to create one big open plan. The roof re structured. The current garage and outbuildings must be converted into a one bedroom flatlet with small kitchen. A workshop will be added to this at the back. New addition with a TV room and three ensuite bedrooms will be build onto the current house. Attached find current house plans as well as a plan for the new project. The specifications are as follows: Cemcrete or relevant floor, no floor tiles. Structure build with light clay stocks to be washed and sealed with limited plaster and paint work. Open roof trusses painted white. No solar or electrical geyser only Gas geysers for all bathrooms and kitchen. Gas stove for main house kitchen. No stove for flatlet. Covered patio. Windows to specifications. Lights and fittings to specifications. No baths for the 4 bathrooms only showers.
I would like to build a house on a 1 hectare lot. The smart home will have floor-to-ceiling windows comprising of 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 4 car garage, study, home cinema, 2 living areas, a large swimming pool with Jacuzzi connected, pool house with a bar. Furthermore, staff quarters building shall be detached from the house which will form part of a 2 bedroom guest house with a big 4 car garage to store additional cars
KITCHEN: water inlets put in for a washing machine and dishwasher and the electrical plug point for them, kitchen walls painted correctly, curtain rail put up above window. BATHROOM: most crucial is painting**, then - put up a curtain rail above the window, (potentially bathroom redone - new toilet, bath and sink). GENERAL: light bulbs replaced in 3 rooms (2 LED bulbs per room), floors need replacing throughout apartment - tiles - but we would like advice (55 sqm apartment).
1) Replacement of existing partially collapsed brick f retaining wall with interlocking brick (some already purchased = approximately 5m long and going from 1m to 2m high (sloping driveway) 2) Assessment / repair / buttressing of very old existing brick wall with eroded foundation, approximately 6m long and 2m high

Please only email or Whatsapp me for now. I am looking for an estimate on the project as I am still in the process of getting the plans finalised but would to add a garage/work space to my house.
