Top 20 Building design Pros Faerie Glen, 2025
Sarel was very efficient and punctual, kept up to all his promises. I can personally recommend him to any one for his excellence. Keep up the excellent work!
Thus far we have managed to get prompt service and we managed to get the necessary quotes for the building plan that we need. So now from our side we are just waiting on the Registration Process to be finalized and when the property is registered in our names. Then we can begin with the process of starting with the actual building plan.
Thus far we are happy with the service that we have received so far.

Extension or Remodel
House is a double story in a country cottage style, currently in an L-shape. We would like to extend the kitchen on the ground floor and the main bedroom above it. An en-suite bathroom should be added at the end of the main bedroom. A scullery and servants quarters should be added with a lean-to roof, with the possibility of a workshop/storage room as a separate building, depending on cost.

Yes plan for extension. I am available on Whatsapp.

I am in the process of purchasing a house for which there are no plans. My preferred bank is requiring certified plans for the house to clear the financing. However I am concerned that the process might cause problematic delays. I would like to know what the realistic cost and timeline would be for getting plans drawn up and registered.
