I have bought a home and should be ready to move in around March April . I will need the driveway paved and one of the restraining walls redone as well as my veranda need to be restored with some economical tiles
We have plans for a multi phase product with various building works needed. Phase 1 - Conversion of double garage into a small flatlet (marked gymnasium on the drawing attached) the drawing only indicates requirements to pass the plans, but we would need all the additionals such as kitchen cupboards, BIC in bedroom and plumbing done (we have our own electrician) Phase 2 - Conversion of outbuilding into small bachelor pad (marked storeroom conversion on the drawings). here it would be the same as per the Garage conversion with less tilework but all the Sanware and plumbing included. The plans for this section will likely change a bit, but the general idea is indicated on the drawings. Phase 3 - Newly Built staff quarters. This will be a complete build from foundation to roofing. Due to the slant of the property the unit will likely be build on a platform or dug out to level the ground for building works. Phase 4 - Yard work. there is a tar driveway that needs to be extended into the property with parking bays. there is also 2 precast concrete walls to put up (10m and 18m approximately) as well as an existing parking bay needing renovation. Please could you be so kind as to provide estimates and quotes divided into the phases of the project so we can make decisions on the order of the phases based on cashflow and budgets.
