Good day, we would like to enquire the costs for an extension to the house that would require breaking through of 1-2 walls from the current kitchen. Plans are needed, roofing, glass doors/ windows and foundation. The size is 3x5min maximum and the electricity board would need to be moved. I am looking for an estimation of costs for the total construction and plans/ plan approval in order to see whether we can go ahead with this idea.
We need to install steps against the outside wall that lead to the first floor apartment. The steps can be wood, metal or bricks. Also a door needs to seperate the inside steps, so that the downstairs apartment is now seperated from the upstairs apartment. A small kitchen can also be installed and pluming for a clothes washer.
The renovations will be in a 2-phased process - 1st. Babyroom - Please refer to plans attached. All walls in red must be brickwall and the one in green is drywall. I prefer for the guys to work from the garage with scaffolding onto the second floor and not through the house. The staircase needs to be covered up so no dust will go down towards the living room. I will supply the door, cornice, skirting and downlights. Please advise if you are providing me with an electrician that is COC complaint. New downlights and 2 plug points to be installed in babyroom. I also want vinyl floors in the new room, please can you prep and install. I will supply the product.

We are converting the current kitchen, dining room and lounge in our house into an open plan home office. I need to know which walls are weight bearing and which walls can be broken down. The job mostly entails demolishing walls, removing door frames, removing window frames (and saving these for use in other areas of the house), as well as building an addition/extension to the house. This may include redoing the roof where we are extending.
The thing is I am looking at buying a property in Sunninghill. it is a loft apartment in Sunninghill in one of the Sands developments. and I was wanting to get an idea/quote on doing an extension to the loft deck...its about a 2.5 x3m extension. I have two idea/option I would like to quote on to see what would be more worthwhile. my one thought is to leave the stairs where they are and just extend the deck out to the wall my other idea is to move the stairs to the other side, loft staircase style, in front of the door instead of the opening…
We would like to extend an exterior wall (our living room) out by one meter into our yard as it is difficult to arrnage furniture in the small space. The wall is 4meters in length. This means an extension of 4sqm. We would like to complete the project with block and would not mind a flat roof extension (our current roof is pitched).
