Good day I live in a rural area Klipfontein mission Station. Land is undeveloped, there are some brick houses, Wendy houses but mainly zinc houses. I live in a house made off zinc, between - sqms. My company is offering funding for housing assistance but I need a quote for building material which could be for brick, zinc, prefabricated panels or a wooden house. My company will then approve one of the quotes for the work to be done. No plans will be required as this is land owner based dwellings. Your assistance would be much appreciated.
Ground floor: an entrance patio that leads to the kitchen and a formal lounge that has a patio, then there’s a passage and when you enter the passage on the right there are stairs and next to the stairs there’s a bathroom and on the left there’s a dining room, going down the passage there’s bedroom 1 and 2, and at the end of the passage there’s a master bedroom with an en-suite and a patio, next to it there’s a garage. First floor: going up the stairs on you’ll end up on a passage facing bedroom 3, on the right of bedroom 3 there’s a pyjama lounge with a balcony, on the left of bedroom 3 there’s bedroom 4, opposite bedroom 4 there’s the study and between the study and the stairs there’s a bathroom. Down the passage, there’s a master bedroom with a master en-suite and between them, there’s a walk-in closet. This is my ideal house. I need a professional to execute it for me. Thank you

People came and ripped my copper pipes off the wall. I've replaced most of them except my kitchen tap pipes. I'm wanting to change them to polycorp pipes connected to the previous copper pipes that I've replaced. You need 5 corner pipes with piping and a T pipe and 1 galvanized/copper pipe that needs to go through the wall.
