I have no idea if I even chose the right sqm. That's how clueless I am. I need house plans drawn up for an open plan bar style house. I have a very good idea of what I'd like the house to look like on the inside and outside. It will be a 5 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom, very open plan on a sqm erf in the shape of an L?
The project is a campus for a primary and high school. Precise measurements are pending. I would like a preliminary quote based on the information available on the rough draft. Ignore the measurements on the draft, take into account the number buildings and rooms. Ignore the distances between the buildings as that is also subject to change.
This is just a rough draft and the measurements on it are subject to change. We would like to obtain a quote from you for the cost of redrawing the plans based on the provided rough draft. This would involve refining the layout, ensuring accuracy, and incorporating the additional details and specifications to be outlined in the notes to be discussed in further communication. Additionally, please include any consultation or revision fees in your quote. We are also interested in determining the amount of land required to implement these plans effectively. As such, we kindly request your expertise in assessing the land size needed for the proposed facilities, taking into account factors such as building footprints, outdoor spaces, and circulation areas.

Portion of roof over double volume has translucent sheeting (I think it is glass fiber installed 20 years ago: 4 sheets wide and c. 1,5 M long on both sides (E and W)) which was damaged by the recent hail storm. A small hole (± 20mm) appeared after the storm. So I guess the sheets will have to be replaced with corrugated polycarbonate sheets.
We want to build an outdoor area with steel, brick and glass and would obviously need plans for that. I've attached some google images so you can see what style we want to go for PLUS photos, video and a drawing of what we want to do. That's projetct ONE. Project two is smaller as its a remodelling of our outbuildings, by extending the roof over the wasted space. Attached are also photos and a drawing of what we want to do. I'm not sure my outbuildings configuration is % cause it feels squased but anyway. Something you guys can guide us on when we get to the actual plans. Please provide a quote for projects one and two separately. Please ensure that this includes all sign-offs needed i.e. engineering approval. Please also include a line item for managing the whole process of submitting the plans. Thanks
Idea is to build in 3 phases, the outer walls to be lifted by approximately 7 rows of bricks to accommodate a lof area over bedrooms, with a open high roof in kitchen, dinner table and lounge area. Feel free to ask questions. Open to suggestions. This is to give an idea of what the need is. Also the 1st phase bathroom to be wheelchair friendly.
There’s an existing Boundary wall that needs to be demolished and reconstructed the wall is out of municipal lines and is built on top of the drain but the main reason for demolition is because the boundary wall wasn’t built prope from the first place. I need plans for a Garage and 2 Flatlets each with own toilet and shower.
