Hi
This is my first post, so I am not sure if this is the best section to place my question but here it goes.
I have a back porch and it is currently fenced off with railings.
It is rectangular in size, and about 14ft x 8ft floorspace.
There is a flight of stares connected to this porch (which goes down to the backyard) and it is made of concrete.
The flooring of this porch is also all concrete.
This porch is already apart of the same roof/ceiling of the house, it is completely sheltered. It is more like an open room if you will.
What I wish to do is, to take off the railings, and replace it with a wall and windows... and where the stairs are, a sliding door. Essentially building a new room.
Reason we want to do this is because it gets quite windy/rainy here in Melbourne (it's currently windy/raining now!) and we want a more safe and weatherproof solution in closing this porch off from harsh weather.
I've already tried calling a few builders and many have shown no interest in doing this project. (Maybe I am calling the wrong people).
I am located in South-east Melbourne.
Can anybody give any advice on what I can do to get this done?
Maybe a recommendation of someone who can? Anything at all?
Thank you for any advice.
