Dear Sirs As previously advised we wish to constructions an off street parking area at a private home - this will require excavation work of +-- 60sm ( max depth from 1.2 metres graduated down to street level) wall retention, and the construction of a 'T' shaped carport footprint. We also wish to construct a single garage in the driveway. Free quotations will be appreciated. Regards IVOR WALDECK 9 Manson Road, Newlands
I would like to convert our garage into a room that doubles as a home office/gym. i.e. home office during the day, gym in the evening. The idea is to end up with one large room after the following has been done: 1. Seal off the garage door 2. Add a frosted window to the sealed garage door that opens (for fresh air) 3. Add 2 large windows and a door on the adjacent wall Outside the garage is a covered open parking which I would also like to convert to a closed parking as follows: 1. Add a large gate to make it a closed parking 2. Add metal bars on top of the adjacent durawall similar to the ones on the opposite wall
Good evening I am looking to extend my boundary wall. The length and height that needs to be build is as per the below: Section one Length 13 meters Height mm Section two Length 8 meters Height 2 meters Section three Length 15 meters Height 1.2 There is an existing wall that has steel on it. The above measurements differ because the height of the actual differs throughout the driveway. Furthermore, we would like to add roofing to 21 meters in length and 4 to 5 meters in breadth. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Regards

I am a British contractor, married to a South African. I am coming to South Africa to build a house. I have my own architectural plan which I need to certify, pay for and permission to build the house as I have my own material. The house will be built using bricks, blocks with a simple roofing. As a contractor, everything will be done by myself and a few labourers. I would like your advice, collaboration and cost estimation regarding confirmation of my architectural plan and alternatively how much your own architectural plan would cost including that of council permissions. May you kindly give an indication of how much your job will cost. Best Regards
