How long does an architectural project typically last?
Let's go over the timeline for the construction of a new family home.

Fit 1 x sliding door (supplied) at opening end of container Close existing single door opening with container wall removed for extension Roof unit with 0.35m overhang all around

We would like to re-do the whole bathroom. Remove the bath and install a shower. replace the tiles on the wall and floor. Replace the toilet and basin and add a floating shelves under the basin. we would also like to re place the ceiling and lights. I want a rain shower as well as a adjustable hand shower. we currently have a shower in the bath but may need to move the pipes to accommodate the new design. We would also like to place the toilet in a different location in the bathroom to make it more spacious. We have an idea of the layout but we are open to suggestions. We would like to start mid March, but would like to work out the budget before then. our bathroom size: cm length by cm width.
Afternoon , I do have a project which is supposed to start any time soon its a ground floor with a story on top of the double garage part and the lounge dinning and kitchen part. So it will be having 3 bedrooms on the ground floor 2 will be having ensuites ,a study room, separate bathroom and toilet and also an outside toilet On the first floor is, main bedroom with ensuites and separate toilet , lounge and the veranda part with palisades. In short...
Would like to have an idea of what it will cost to build a simple rectangular shaped house using blocks and IBR sheeting roof, exposed inside roof using poles, concrete "stuco-type" floor throughout. WIDTH - 14 meters wide consisting of 8 meters internal living area, plus 4 meters front patio., plus 2 meters back patio. LENGTH - 25 meters completely open plan for kitchen with laundry and pantry, dining room, lounge (all open plan), and four bedrooms in the last 12 meters
walkways and access to flats on three levels need restoration of waterproofing and sealing with jotamastic and hardtop flexi or similar Diamond-grind the walkway in order to profile the surface in preparation for coating, Sand the skirting, Cut open all cracks in the walkway and backfill them with Hybriflex or similar , Rebuild with Smooth ’n Patch or simial, remove all hollow/disbonded topping-screed and repair the areas with Smooth ‘n Patch, , Prime all repaired areas with a two coat system of Jotamastic 90 followed by a two coat system Hardtop-Flexi, or similar
kitchen, 2xbathrooms (1 with shower and 1 with bath), add wall to enclose 3rd bedroom again. that is needed. Would also like a quote on opening up a load bearing wall about 4m x 2m, this used to be the outside wall so would also be a firewall if I am correct. the room behind that would need the floor raised and if possible the ceiling as well, else we will extend this to be the living room/tv wall
Whole roof underlay to be replaced with superior quality, temperature controlling material. Valley messed up by previous builder to be fixed. Considering to have parapets knocked off as they have always leaked, resulting in interior damage to steel door frames, etc. Patio to be changed into a room (roof, ceiling and aluminium sliding doors). Flat roof of braai room to be changed to a pitched tile roof like the rest of the house with sliding doors and windows(for better ventilation), overlooking the swimming-pool. 3 x Bathroom makeovers In the middle of the tandem double garage is the parapet wall which hosted the previous two steel roll-up doors. This complete wall must be removed, but then the trusses of the front garage will need support over a distance of about 7m. The complete garage needs a ceiling. The raw cement floor needs levelling and either epoxy coted, tiled or painted. There are a few minor jobs, e.g. removing rusty steel doorframes, cracks in walls and ceilings, damp problems, replacing a few windows and doors, erecting concrete platforms for water tanks, etc. Electrical changes and additions will of course be needed.

I need to have a new kitchen installed. The kitchen has been stripped bare so there is a blank canvas. I have already had the plumbing and electrical points done and I have decided where I want the different appliances to go. All I now need is for cabinets to be installed, a built in stove and hob installed, and a dish washer and washing machine installed.
