OUR LATEST PROJECT

It has been quite sometime since I have posted anything because every waking moment has been used attending to our small business. Not that I am complaining. The economy in our area has taken a severe dive since the end of the coal mining boom resulting in very little work for all businesses not just the construction industry.

This new project involves an extension to this existing old brick veneer. The extension is not just stuck onto the back, but is fully incorporated into he whole building going from this to this.

All of the existing concrete roof tiles will be taken off and the entire building will have corrugated steel roof sheeting. The inside of the existing section has had all of the wall and ceiling sheets removed. New cyclone tie downs will be installed along with some minor rectification of the hardwood frame.

The existing dwelling is 129/m2 but with the new addition of a garage, carport, patio and new living area, brings the total to 325/m2. 

The living areas inside have high raking ceilings with flat ceilings in the bedroom and bathroom areas.

The addition of a sauna makes a nice feature.

A new pool will be situated to this view of the rear of the house around final construction time.

Many times is can be less expensive to convert an existing dwelling into something new and special. If designed properly, the use of the existing space can save you lots of money.
I will be adding regular updates on the progress of the different stages to show you just what goes into building a new and improved home.

Cheers for now!
