When do I need a building permit in South Africa?
In South Africa, building applications for the construction of property and land use are highly regulated.
I live in an Art Deco heritage building in Seapoint called . We require the assistance of a conservation architect to provide guidance and plans for the maintenance and upkeep of our building. Below I have listed our brief. Guidance and insight: Provide a general overview of things we should consider for the preservation of the building from a conservation perspective Stair maintenance: • We need handrails for the internal and external staircases and require guidance on the material and style that is in keeping with the building's heritage Window frames and doors: • We require plans that include both the material and style spec for our current doors and windows.. • Understand how the spec might differ for the front, back and side of the building with consideration to balcony doors, front doors, bathrooms windows etc Door security: • Explore security alternatives specifically for doors facing the exterior that are in keeping with the building's heritage

I have 8 completed garages and want plans to convert 4 or 5 garages into home and other 3 or 4 stays garages. The plans i currently have shows it halved into 2 homes and plans are not approved by previous architect. I purchased it in this manner. I need to still activate electricity and water but only until plans are approved.
Good Day - I am looking to do some internal changes in the house. I would like to open up the inside walls between the family room, dining room and kitchen. We need to understand which walls can be removed and which can't. From the plans we are not able to identify - therefore I am requesting quotes to see what new plans (if needed) would cost and how best to tackle this project. Thanks

Turning vacant land in a complex into my dream home. With the estate guidelines and the architects skills, I would like to design a small two bedroom house to start of with and later extend when I can afford. This will be my first build and finances are not sufficient so I will be working extra hard to rake up funds as the months go on.
