I want to build a small 34 sqm flatlet consisting of 3 total rooms. I want to use the cheapest building option (vibrecrete / nutec / brick and mortar) and i would like to have the flatlet build all the way up onto the boundary wall. The boundary wall is vibrecrete. I would like to if possible use the existing vibrecrete boundary wall as the new flatlets exterior wall if possible thereby saving costs. I do not know the building regulations and what is possible but we have a very limited space available. Also not sure where the drainage pipe are located but that might be an issue as well. Not sure if the drainage pipes can be rerouted. I need guidance please

I need an architect for building a church building. We are planning on buying a property and need the architect to assist with the feasibility report for the property. They will need to work hand in hand with other engineers etc that we have also appointed in order to assess this property before purchase. Once that has been resolved, we will then need the architect to assist with the design and submitting of the plans to council. We basically need someone to fully project manage this project as well.

TVET took a decision to standardize all Sites’ entrance areas (Receptions), Staff Rooms, Kitchen, and Ablution Facilities and bring about brand uniformity by adding touches that are representing our brand in a unique way. The 3D renderings are necessary for approval prior to the commencement of the project. The Interior Designers must be on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) in order to do business with the college since we are a Government Institution. Thanks
I have an exiting plan that has expired. The updates/addition for the plan, is to add a bedroom and bathroom, which will extend out into the backyard and add a spiral staircase, that leads to the second floor. The house, has two levels and would essentially close off the top section from the bottom section, hence the additional staircase, but space is quite limited, do figured spiral staircase would work best.
I would like to modernize and furnish a 2-bedroom/2-bathroom apartment in Sea Point for personal use and potential short-term rental when I am not in Cape Town. My taste/style skews modern, minimalist (I will provide photos of other houses/apartments). I will need to completely furnish the apartment and am looking for layout, design ideas, and interior styling/decorating ideas. I work from home when in Cape Town so 2nd bedroom needs to function as home-office, and it would be ideal if it could also be used as a bedroom for guests. A video of the unit can be found at https://youtu.be/cTGx0UPDCOg. My tenant moves out at the end of September and I would like to be able to move in as soon as possible thereafter. I am available on Whatsapp, email and Whatsapp call.
