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.
Office revamp. We want a nautical theme given the nature of our business and effective utilization of space etc. and interior design services. I am based in Durban, but the business that needs the interior design is located in Fourways. I will be in Fourways the middle of February, we can set up meetings then. It is not just simple painting that we need, there are quite a few alterations. We need someone to actually see the space first before offering a quote.
I want to break out a wall that's underneath my staircase. The wall is load bearing and I thought I could put a steel beam in it's place as support. I also want to enlarge and already existing square arch but I am not sure how much of the wall I can take off. Then I also want to enlarge my the opening that my sliding is in. I want to enlarge it horizontally (not vertically) - again I am not sure how much of the wall I can take off
I’m a junior designer who’s taking on a restaurant renovation in Waterfall Corner. I’m completely changing the look without structural changes. I’m providing 3D rendering services and adding to the existing plans to show changes in materials such as cladding, built-in seating, the bar & bathroom. Their budget is R . I’m unsure on how to charge. Please assist
Hallo. Ek wil graag idees he hoe om my seun se woonstel atmosfeer te gee. Hy het in n woonstel ingetrek sien fotos aangeheg. Kussings, iets teen mure, bedlampies, kuns plante, lamp, ornament en dalk n mat. Kleurskema by fotos. Hy wil nog n tv cabinet kry om die inverter en batterye in te sit. Kan u asb eers vir my n kwotasie gee wat dit sal kos om vir my die raad te gee. Groete
I like to shop at second-hand and antique stores rather than buying brand new boilerplate stuff. This is not necessarily to save money, but for the character and pieces that are interesting. The house is just over sqm, with large living/dining area and 2 bedrooms. Kitchen and bathroom are largely set in stone. I need serious working space somewhere. My style is kind of traditional farmhouse, but not cluttered or fussy, with a touch of eclectic.
The house is situated opposite a vineyard The colors of the furniture and paintings should compliments it We have two teenage children a boy and a girl. My mother will be occupying a room her colour is blue but not harsh. Then the main bedroom looks out to the vineyard.. Then there are two living spaces as well as the kitchen that needs to be furnished. This is a big project but we would like to finish the main area first. My partner is From Rwanda and his kids I am from South Africa. We have two weeks to complete the main areas because the children will come to visit. Oh we need appliances for the kitchen aa well.
Full turn key project, renovate two bathrooms, demolish, brick up re-plaster, paint and finishes, interior lay-out, remodel/ paint existing furniture, aluminum and glass partitioning, blinds, curtains, lighting, switches, re-wrap cupboards & spray paint- over all remodel from dated to industrial design in brick, glass, steel, aluminum look and feel (man cave style)
Good day I need ideas for small spaces in the house to maximize the use for it. For instance, I have 2 rooms, on the smaller side, but have to accommodate 2 kids per room. I therefore need estimates of what I will be looking at price wise and then decide if I can do all spaces in one go or in sections. Thank you kindly Kind regards
