I'm looking for a +-10kw system that is fully offgrid as I don't have an Eskom supply and the wiring and fittings and db board have been stolen due to the house being standing vacant for a while. I have just recently acquired the property and am having a problem with the local municipality to connect the electricity. Can someone please assist with this matter. Thank you
It’s a small loft apartment I’m looking to buy. I’m looking to move where the stairs are located and have them be on the other side of the apartment so that I can extend the bedroom right on top of where they originally are. I then hope that this will also create more space for me to create 2 bathrooms upstairs as there is currently only 1. Before o purchase it I just want to make confirm how much this will roughly cost me.
PROJECT BRIEF I am planning to develop a small residential building consisting of three identical 55 sqm loft-style units. I have a clear concept and visual inspiration, but I am not a construction or architecture professional, so I am seeking expert guidance, advice, and a realistic quotation for the entire process. I have attached a full detailed project description along with inspiration images in the attachments section for your review. At this stage, I am not fully aware of all the required steps, approvals, or technical details involved in completing a project like this. Any feedback on feasibility, recommended materials, structural considerations, or necessary procedures would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to understand the total cost, the timeline, and the steps required to successfully complete this building project. I am open to professional recommendations that can help refine the design and ensure the development is safe, efficient, and achievable within a realistic budget.

We need to build a chalet for hunting visitors. I was only provided with a simple plan and need an estimate to present to the owner. The type of material with dimensions, amount required and cost per unit will be needed. The length is 8.5m, the breadth 7.5m and from foundation to top of roof 5.5m. I roughly calculated the Bathroom to be 2.5m x 2.75m, the Bedroom 3m x 3.75m and Porch 3m x 3.75m.
Hello. the existing installation has a Fivestar 3kva inverter & 3 Ecco LP12- batteries. there are 4 existing panels on the roof (unknown specs) I need to upgrade this to a decent (at least) 5kva inverter with appropriate Lithium batteries - (ideally i would want to 'return' the existing equipment for a credit). I imagine the DBs and connection from inverter (in garage) to the house are adequate.

The window dimensions are approximately cm wide × 80 cm high (see attached photo). I would like to close off the fixed window pane with a wall and install an aluminium opening window in the remaining side (so the new window can open). Could you please advise on the feasibility, design options, and cost for this modification? Thanks again.
