Add laundry room
I recently purchased a new home. There is about 80 m2 of the house I wish to remodel into a flat, for rental purposes. The house is set out in such a way that this area can have its own entrance, and be complete private. This is the idea I do have. The area is a big open area at this stage (imagine a big hall) and it is part of the current house with roof and wiring. Please note I do have a corner home. So there is a lot that we can do, I simply need your expertise in what would be the best possible solution, and stay with in the rules and regulations. Also an update on the building plans would be required in order to add the possible adjustments. I do have the current plans. An onsite visit will be needed to provide ideas and then if all is in order, the new plans need to be drawn. I do require an estimate for the onsite visit and the possible plans.

Have drips and drabs of approved plans. Would like to have everything on one council approved plan. Lapa and storeroom might have to be demolished if it cant be legally classified as outbuildings. Would like sensible suggestions on things to improve e.g. making my hatchback garage a normal length garage, adding an outside braai place, changing the street facin boundary wall so that its not triangular with hiding places for potential criminals, updating the windows etc. Potentially add staff quarters on top of garage.
