Residential Estate – Farm Style Getaway
This project was a rebooted development in the Natal Midlands. The Architecture was redone to represent a farm style lifestyle with wrap around porches, where aspects of Old Natal were brought into the visual canvas. A new site development plan was created to optimise the clients needs, wants and desire for an uncomplicated, relaxing country getaway.
A professional team was brought onboard to lay down a roadmap for doing the development and to cover all aspects of the project which included:
Legal;
Quantity Surveying;
Civil Engineering;
Structural Engineering;
Electrical Engineering;
Architectural;
Town Planning.
I worked with each client to compile a style that suited them. Plans were then drawn up and detailed finish specifications compiled.
Once each contract was finalised, construction commenced.
With the remoteness of the location, the project took 2 years to rollout and complete. The development comprised of 10 buildings across 5 properties.
My scope of work included design services, development management, project management, product sourcing, negotiating between contractors, clients and suppliers and maintaining excellent quality and standards at all levels of implementation, as well as the construction of the primary sites and the individual homes from:
Civils;
