Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
He was friendly, but the work wasn't up to standard.
We asked the contractor several times to check the prices before he quoted, because we have no lee-way when the contract is accepted. Once the project started, he kept requesting more money than his initial deposit for a range of reasons. Despite our understanding that only certain materials were to be used per our client's request, the contractor kept trying to use cheaper materials by saying he couldn't source the materials, he should have already sourced. Which wasted time and angered the client. We had to source the right materials for him. He assured us he was done with the work. Then we requested an addition to the drywall. When we received photos of the finished product, the finishing work was appalling. More photos were submitted with work that wasn't complete. The client was furious. We asked that the work should be corrected so we could do the final payment. The contractor was warned that if the fixes were not done by the next day as agreed, the final payment would not be forthcoming. The next morning, the client went to inspect the work, and nothing had been done. But the contractor assured us that the job had been done. The client threatened to sue us, and refused to have the contractor continue. We had to get in a new contractor to finish the work. The original contractor said it would take an hour, but the new contractor had to work through the night to make the deadline. The original contract was fully paid, the balance of the work on the second contract that was not done (but he said was done) and still had to be done between the two projects (which he also said was done) was much more than the amount the original contractor was not paid. And a working fluorescent light that was moved incorrectly, no longer worked and had to be totally refurbished.

I want to do two things: 1. Expand the living space inside the house by building into the garage space. I want to use half the garage space to move the kitchen and the other half to make a bedroom.

I want to add on to the house an enclosed balcony and patio up and down with staving doors all the way.

I want to turn 2 x Garages and an old staff room into a flexible space that would initially be used as a cottage - but could be adapted easily for future buyers into an office, games room etc. Plumbing already exists but would need adjusting. Floors are cement and would need to be screeded. Doors and Windows would need to be replaced (and sometimes a door is becoming a window and a window is becoming a door. Walls would need to be plastered. Some Cabinetry Work as well.

We plan to relocate the kitchen to the front of the flat and install new cabinetry. A partition wall will be added to create a separate bedroom. In the bathroom, we intend to remove the existing bathtub and convert the space into a walk-in shower. Additionally, we will upgrade the electrical and plumbing systems to accommodate the bathroom’s dual function as a laundry area.
Much of the renovation has already been done. What remains to project manage is supervision of the repair of one exterior wall where there is water ingress (the contractor here is very competent), limited upgrading of one ensuite bathroom, the repair of 16 shutters and 8 window frames and the repair of a wooden front door
