How long does an architectural project typically last?
Let's go over the timeline for the construction of a new family home.
Build in three sections. Main Home, section 1; office and guest room, section 2; and Granny Flat, section 3. Want to build Main Home (section 1) now with rest later as funds become available. Need to build within a budget and will have to negotiate with builder what we can do with the funds we have available. Phase 1 plan attached that we need quote on.
Plans have ben approved by council. Front Perimeter wall (segmented by "hip high" columns with a 20mm/maybe more brick upstand linking them - wooden slats - picket fence-esk style). This wall will run to the driveway gate Driveway will run the length of the house to the double garage (this will not be shown on the plans but I thought it was worth mentioning) Double Garage (dimensions of 6mx7m length) in the South East corner situated behind the main bedroom's en-suite - Flat roof, same design as the house - it will need to match the same slope etc. Rear perimeter wall (block is indicated on the plans but vibracrete will most likely be used) connecting the garage to our neighbours vibracrete wall Side perimeter wall on neighbour's boundary line (made of block - "hip high" as well approx 1m) running from the garage down the driveway to driveway gate (building line) Deck - If a separate quote could be provided on the building of a staircase leading to the deck as indicated by the plans Driveway - needs to be leveled and paved, separate quote on this can be provided as well Preferable start would be late April, early May
We have a timber frame house with ship lap cladding. we want to add a granny flat onto the side of the house, and then do some work on our main house, add a pool, add a patio and build stairs. Our house is double storey and we want to add on a unit that is the same style - split level with a small veranda in front and back. We are unsure about the size, but probably between 30 and 50 square metres.
I want to have a small (80-m2) single story, 2 bedroom house designed and built in Green Pastures Knysna and I would like a rough quote per square meter for building costs. I would also like to go and view houses built by the construction company to see how they build if possible. My budget is severely restricted so It is imperative to stay within this size range.
I would like to remove the bath and install a walk in show. Replace basin and toilet and retile the floor and walls. Install a vanity and towel rail. Window needs to be reduced and new windows installed. I already have the tiles needed. You can call or email me. I am quite busy and not always able to answer calls.
The roof was recently painted and the winter has damaged some of the roof sheets. The roof is leaking in 3 areas. I would like the roof to be checked and any issues sorted. I have an old roof. The builder has advised me it is either asbestos or fibre cement. I have some water proofing that needs to be done.
We are looking at renovating our stoep area - 8m x 8m. We’d like to change the roof from a flat to pitched exposed structure and tie it in to our existing house roof structure. Also, we’d like to add 2x 3-panel sliding doors , built in braai, re-tiling the area.. is this something you could assist with? Also assist in helping with the council plans for it?
