3 offices and a small walk way. I am not % sure what the sqm. is and I am not too sure how I can explain it but I can specify sizes of the rooms in meters. Specs are: 7x3.5m is one room, 5x5.5m second room and the third room is 5x3.5m. Our walkway is 2.5x1.5m. Our ceilings are about two meters high. Normal white PVA nothing fancy. Urgent! We need this done by possibly this week already. Please contact me to organise a site visit. We are also unfortunately budget sensitive so please take this into consideration as well.
Hail storm destroyed tile roofing, causing water leakage on the whole roof. During the damage most roof tiles fell off and broke. Water system also need serious attention also, as copper pipes outside that bring in water into the house were broken during vandalization of the property. All water taps in bathrooms and kitchen sink need replacement. Some carpentry work too is required to restore kitchen built-in wooden cupboards. At the front entrance steps outside, the whole top slab of the steps is loose and needs reconcreting to fix it back to place. Thank you.

House still busy with transfer, looking at mid september occupation. Knocking out 2 walls (load bearing) and potentially placing in Lintils or I-Beams / H-Beams. replaster and paint to close up etc. The idea is to open the kitchen / lounge / dining room which are closed by walls. There is a slanted high ceiling in the lounge / dining room areas so the kitchen wall seems almost like a double high wall to the slanted roof. There are a few other minor walls to come out that are single sized walls 1 bathroom wall to connect a smaller bathroom to make it a bigger one. bricking up a doorway on a single wall and creating another doorway in the same wall somewhere else. knocking out a wall near the lounge, standard sized wall. Can attach pictures / video when needed and have a mock floor plan with changes but open to any other ideas from your team also. I am located in JHB currently so will have to work remotely, video / pictures until we can do a proper inspection of the house in September. Seperate quotes for kitchen / each bathroom / kitchen , dining , living open plan remodel quotes on walls.
Rubberized roof
Good day, we are looking to build a tiny home of not more than 70m2 - 90m2 in the Rosendal, Free State area. The home should consist of 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom (shower in the bath) an open plan living and kitchen area as well as a stoep, all on one level. The erf is not sloped and flat, but the area consist of clay and I would suggest a floating foundation. The shape of the roof is not so important, so sloped or flat.
