How long does an architectural project typically last?
Let's go over the timeline for the construction of a new family home.
I need an 8-bedroom, 8 bathroom double/triple storey house, extension of an old house and a wall fencing. I'm making a research to ensure that I get something that is satisfying & affordable at the same time, for this reason would appreciate assistance from a professional that is good in architectural communications. Below I've attached an image of the design that I want for the professional to know what he/she will be dealing with.
Existing quadrant shower rail does not attach properly to the side brackets on the wall. The rail lifts and had in the past caused one of the sh9wer doors to fall and shatter. I installed a new shower door however the problem with the top rail persists. I wouod wondering is someone could assist to remove the old fault shower f.rame and install a new decent one for me
Hi There My folks live in Pilgrim’s Rest in a year old house. I would like to have one of the structural walls taken down and will require the assistance of a Structural engineer to ensure that the correct support beams are put in place to redistribute the weight etc. I would love a quote on the following: - Removal of load bearing wall and instillation of adequate substitute support pillars to redistribute the weight so that they house is not structurally compromised. - The removal of a rotten wooden floor approximately 4.5x4m and filled in with concrete. Please kindly contact me via email Kind Regards
Clear IBR (?) sheeting over a section of the garage (two car tunnel) lifted in strong wind. Currently held down by a couple of rocks but needs replacement. Perhaps general inspection of rest of roof would be good idea. Also wooden shelter between Kitchen and Garage which is flat, has bitumised (Laycool) (?) top. which has leak. Am concerned water collecting there could cause wood rot. Hasn't had bitumen redone for a year or two Needs redoing.
Existing asbestos roofing needs cleaning, some sealing and painting. Exterior walls, barge boards and facia boards need painting. Wooden doors and windows need varnishing, all window putty to be replaced. Property has two buildings i.e. main house + outbuilding. Work to be done on both structures. Boundary walls also require painting.
I’m looking to build a 2 story granny flat, with half of the ground floor being a car garage. The rest of the ground floor should have an open plan kitchen and living area with a kitchen bar counter where 2 people can eat, a powder room under the stairs to the first floor, and sliding doors all across one wall. The first floor should have a bathroom, walk in closet and large bedroom with space for a coach and tv in front of the bed. Nice to haves include wooden floors, air conditioning, large windows, security bars on all entrances to the building and the upstairs, and stylistic stairs. The proposed location of the build is street facing and next to a property boundary wall, it’s important to us that no one can see into the first floor which is above street level, while still getting optimal light. I have attached some inspiration pictures for the layout of the kitchen & bedroom.
A deck sits over my bedroom. The deck has a water feature and has planter trenches built into the low perimeter wall of the deck. There are signs of damp in the ceiling of the bedroom. I suspect the water feature and planter trenches are the source of the damp. I want to remove the water feature and trenches, and ensure that those areas are waterproof.

The leak is only on one side of the pitched roof close to the parapet wall. The leak is intermittent depending on the angle of the rain. On inspection the tiles all appear to be in good condition and no cracks were found. It could be something to do with the flashing installed where the tiles meet the wall.
We have a unique water saving product which needs to interface with the hot water pipe going to the mixer of a shower. The products consists of two boxes, one housing a flow switch and a solenoid valve. Work to be done: If the hot water pipe is accessible from the top in the roof then the two pipe attachments of the flow control need to be interfaced with the pipe. If the hot water pipe is not accessible then the tiles need to be removed from the shower wall to get access to the hot water pipe and a small box housing the flow control equipment needs to be fitted to the shower wall. The cable which is used to measure flow and control the solenoid valve needs to be placed between the tiles and fitted to the electronic control which is linked to the AC supply.
