How long does an architectural project typically last?
Let's go over the timeline for the construction of a new family home.
The thing is I am looking at buying a property in Sunninghill. it is a loft apartment in Sunninghill in one of the Sands developments. and I was wanting to get an idea/quote on doing an extension to the loft deck...its about a 2.5 x3m extension. I have two idea/option I would like to quote on to see what would be more worthwhile. my one thought is to leave the stairs where they are and just extend the deck out to the wall my other idea is to move the stairs to the other side, loft staircase style, in front of the door instead of the opening…
We would like to extend an exterior wall (our living room) out by one meter into our yard as it is difficult to arrnage furniture in the small space. The wall is 4meters in length. This means an extension of 4sqm. We would like to complete the project with block and would not mind a flat roof extension (our current roof is pitched).
Need a small townhouse renovated before December . Situated in Plettenburg Bay. Size of the unit is 80m2. 2 bathrooms,2bedrooms,lounge,dinning room, kitchen open plan. The house will be used for short term rentals. interior decor is also required. Small budget. I live in Gauteng. Unit is in reasonable good condition. Needs some modernization.
We have a three bedroom house with a huge living room and rather small kitchen.we would like to renovate and move the kitchen to another area etc.we would also like to to see if we can add a bathroom in the main bedroom and use some of the bigger space where the living room currently is to add stairs to the top which will lead to a balcony.the balcony must be like a braai area at the bottom or a relaxation or entertainment area
We are buying a sq meter house, it consists of a double garage and house, we want to add on a front section to the house that ties in with the garage on one side and the existing house on the other, so adding two walls will add a new room. Additional we want to add one more garage on the side of the existing double garage, so 3 walls there to complete that garage. Then we want to add a braai room behind the existing double garage and house, so 2 walls to make that room. Finally we need to enlarge a bedroom at the end of the existing house, so 3 walls to add that space. Then on top of the garages we want to add a top floor with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a teen lounge. The additional space is sq meters. The new front section gets a tin roof over the whole length and the back add on gets a extension if the existing tile roof. Included below is the house plan where I indicated what is already built, they never finished building the house to plan, and then a sketch of what we want to do.
1 garage with 2 floors [floors needs skimming or leveling, tiling or epoxy or vinyl floors, cupboards to be put in place], 1 bathroom - convert whole bathroom into shower. 1 bedroom has a 3m window to be removed and closed up. Main house and garage have structure cracks and plaster cracks, needs fixing, full interior paint work to be carried out.
We prefer a newtec type of house but are uncertian if a brick wall house or nutec home are beter.First time building a house.Stand size square meters.house for 2 people.2 bedroom (Not to small)1 bathroom(Big enough for a shower,a bath basin and toilet.open plan kitchen,lounce and diningroom.The plans on attatchment are plus minus what we want.The kitchen on the plan must just move as shown on the hand drawing made.
A small addition to a house in our yard. Similar to the image. There is an existing cement floor, and 1 wall that is one of the walls of my grandmother's house. So all I need is 3 walls and a roof. And obviously a door and a window and an electrical plug. Maybe a 3m× 6m space. Not sure how many sqm that is.
We are adding on a braai room. The braai has already been built onto our existing deck, and we are now looking for someone to build the roof and windows/doors, raise a small section of the deck floor, replace the flooring with an indoor board/tile, add on a small section of deck outside the braai (repurposing the existing deck boards), and adding a standard door from our house to the braai area. Essentially, we are looking for someone to enclose the braai area. The plans are complete and we are working with a local PRINGLE BAY based architect who is very open with communication should you have any questions in the quotation or building process. We are looking to start ASAP and to have the project completed by the end of November. In hopes that we find the right builder, we have other projects lined up as well. Please note, there are 12 files in total but only 8 could be uploaded at a time. Please contact for additional files.
When it rains, water has no drainage and get absorbed through the adjacent building wall. Water front the bathroom shower also leaks through the tiles up the adjacent walls. Need a small cupboard to house the electric DB box. Drainage for the washing machine. New stove connection to the existing 3 phase plug. Curtain rails
