Do I need an architect if I want to build a house in South Africa?
A professional that is registered with the South African Council for the Architectural Profession must submit the building plans before extending, renovating or building a home.
We currently have a tiny house (4 m long by 2.3 wide ) which fits a double bed, shelves bath and toilet. We want to extend by building an upstairs section over the existing footprint (so 4 m x 2.3) with an outside deck extension that also acts as a double covered garage (no sides needed on the garage) just decking and paving floor. Please send me a wtsapp text
Good day, we have a current house that we would like to extend/renovate and also add a little cottage to the property. We have something in mind but would like to get a professional opinion as to whether it is possible or a better design plan of what would be possible as well as keeping cost to a minimum taking the area onto consideration. Regards, nicky

We would like to extend our bathroom, add a shower, add an additional 3 rooms and a courtyard. This will all be added to an outside room that we are currently using as a bedroom, the one room will be a lounge open plan kitchen. The other two rooms, one will be a second bedroom and the other will be made into a study. We want the bathroom, kitchen and study to all lead to the courtyard.
I want to sell my house and there are some of the rooms like garage and an extra room which is not on the house plans I got from the Municipality 20 years ago.

I have an existing commercial property that requires remodelling. However, I am struggling to get the building from the Municipality because the building is quite old. The Municipality is unable to assist me with the drawings as they have nothing. I would really appreciate a phone call and discuss this further.
