We have a carport but want to change the frames because it's rusting. Need to install and build a built in braai which will form part of the entertainment area. We also want to add to that and make another room. The carports had plans years back but not sure if it is approved (but it is installed). Plans could be at Athlone Department. Everything else needs plans. Currently have a braai but needs to be broken down. Artificial grass to also be installed by the entertainment area.
The project consists of two parts. The first is a garage attached to the house with a garage door. The second part is a boundary wall and gate. We need the current structure dismantled and a new wall erected. The gate will have a small pedestrian gate attached to it and it will be a sliding gate. The attached pictures show the design we are going for.
The property is a residential complex. The outside walls, some roofs and walkways need painting. Best would be if a contractor could view the property before quoting. As I do not always have my phone with me I would appreciate a WhatsApp. A contractor has started the job but then ran off with the money without doing most of the work.
Project Overview: The project involves the construction of a self-storage facility comprising two types of storage units: 6x3 meters and 3x3 meters. The primary objective is to provide a secure, easily accessible, and cost-effective storage solution. Each unit will be equipped with a garage-style door for easy access and maximum utilization of space. Requirements: Material Selection: Materials for construction should be durable yet cost-effective, aligning with the project's goal of being low cost storage. Quote Requirements Please provide a detailed quote that includes: * Material Costs: Breakdown of the cost of materials to be used. * Labor Costs: An estimate of the labor costs, including any subcontractors. * Timeline: Estimated time to complete the project. * Additional Costs: Any other costs such as permits, overheads, or contingencies. * Payment Terms: Specify the payment terms and conditions. * Warranty and After-Sale Service: Information on any warranties on the materials or workmanship and any after-sale services offered. Thanks
Would like to construct 2-bedroom apartments simplex, that will have 6 apartments. I have a plan however I need some modifications and also there are existing foundations. Services I require: building walls, with aluminium windows, door frames and doors, tiled roof (hip or open gable), floor tiles, septic tank, sinks, toilets, bathtubs.
I would like to remodel the house, extend the outside walls by a meter, change the main bedroom window into a sliding door. New roof and get the ceiling a bit high. Upgrade the electrical wiring, change windows and doors, upgrade the current sliding door into the folding one. Upgrade the bathrooms. Change the double garage roof from zinc into tiles ( Tuscan style) extend the back room and laundry, add inside shower and toilet.
The front of the house is a double storey, the back is only one storey. I need another floor added to the single storey, with a double garage, bedroom, bathroom and entertainment room. As well as a kitchen and dining room at the bottom of the existing floor. The bottom floor would be around 11 x 9sqm and the top floor would be 6 x 9sqm.
A few small jobs, eg plastering here and there, rhino lite on 4 walls, varnishing and fitting of 2 doors, fitting of skirting to 25m length walls, fitting of 4 curtain rails, paving in front of double garage for 2 vehicles (approx 4m), "relaxing" of ramp in front of double garage that is currently too high

We need to lift up all the tiles in downstairs area Inspect the foundation for possible cracks where we had water well up during the winter Repair the slab where and if necessary Ensure it’s ready and in condition to tile or screed Remove skirting which got wet Inspect replace or simply renovate and put back Seal cracks in a wall on outside where we think there was possible water entry Remove windows and doors and plaster ready to have new aluminium single unit inserted Ensure all tiles and rubble chipped up is carried to skip for removal Painting of areas where required Leave site in clean and neat condition
