My mother would like to renovate or rather extend her house, by adding a living room, patio, balcony, extend the bathroom and add a shower, plus add supporting structures to the garage. We'd need assistance with the house plan, design, cost estimate on the house materials and services required to kickoff the project. I've attached exterior imaged of the house in question below for guidance and consulting purposes. Please let me know if there's anything you'd need on my end. Thank you! .
I am in the process of putting in an OTP on a home in Dowerglen. The house is old, but has good bones. I would like to make alterations to the existing house like breaking down walls to have an open plan living area, relocating a kitchen and making the rooms bigger by breaking down some walls. I would like to take a contractor to the house to advise on what's possible. Let me know if this is a service you provide.

We would like to build a two bedroom flat extension onto the main house. The property already has a 2 bedroom flat, so we not allowed to have another dwelling, and therefore the new flat needs to be connected with the house. Attached is more or less what we want. So the flat and the house will be separated with a "stoep" The main house has a pitch roof, so not sure how the flat's roofing will connect to the main house as the flat will go in the opposite direction. Please can you give me a quote to do building plans.
