We have a one bedroom house in Craighall Park. Connected to the master bedroom is a studio office (not accessible by the bedroom) and connected to the studio office is a smaller room. We could like to incorporate the studio and smaller room into the main house to create additional rooms. This is a project which will require 1) knocking down existing walls, 2) constructing a corridor and 3) constructing walls to separate the new space into separate rooms.
Need further advice. Planning on purchasing 2 Hectare plot for residential and small scale farming. The plan is to live and do farming on 1 hectare and use the other hectare for livestock grazing for 10 years and then sell it. Is is then wise to install electric on the entire 2 hectare or just 1 hectare and do normal razor wire fencing on one. The livestock will graze and be returned each day back into the electric fenced hectare.

+- 50m2 - Durbigum OR Torch-on (ABE). Need a quote for the bill of quantity - hence there is no need to have people contact me. A Bill of Quantity is to establish costing. Once the client approves the estimate then an appointed contractor is informed. Pricing - includes material & labour. Draws are paid on progress and not a deposit - that tells me a contractor is not positioned financially - material on site is another matter altogether. See JCB for standard contractual info.
