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 require an architect to serve on a Specifications Committee to determine the specifications that should be included in a tender for the construction of a Community Arts Centre. STAND is an implementing agency for Provincial Government. We were tasked to draft a tender document to invite submissions for the Construction of the Arts Centre. We however require the expertise of an architect/ engineer to draft the specifications that need to be included in the tender document.
3 modern luxury homes (1 large, 2 smaller, but similar style/layout). sqm (house 1) and sqm (house 2 and 3 each). I want fixed fee per month to approved plans stage. Given economies of scale, I am looking for a significant discount to gazette rates. Build cost (based on precious projects) estimated at R15k per m3

The house is an older 3 bedroom, 1 study Sydenham home that has had some renovations done to it by past owners. But it still has old pressed ceilings and sprung wooden floors and is not open plan. The house also has some old finishes and non functional aspects. Our favourite aspect of the house is the view of the Linksfield Mountain which we would like to remodel the house to face as a feature. Currently the lounge and dining areas face the other side. We want to with economic and Pre existing structures remodel the following: A) Make the house open plan, functional and modern. B) Make the living area face the mountain C) Make the floors solid D) Have modern ceilings E) Have an improved entrance F) Have improved exterior modern design G) Have an on suite bathroom to each bedroom
A little about me: I am requesting assistance in styling a 3-bedroom apartment working with the layout in existence (no major rehab please). I expect to be closing on this week in a new development (Living/Dining/Entryway/Main Bed areas). My style is modern/comfortable/accessible. I also want to integrate things that I brought from my place of origin (photos, artifacts etc.) just to create a home feel. I like plants and spaces that create opportunities for mental/spiritual wellness. I spend alot of time watching media when I'm not working so I'd love a good media/sound system. Finally, I am an emerging senior (61) but active. **SEND QUOTES VIA EMAIL ONLY...I WILL EXTEND CALLS BASED ON QUOTES RECEIVED** Thank you

I am planning to cover the space between my garage and house, approximately 22m2 and have a drawing from a other resident in our complex which has been passed by the municipality. So, my requirement is that I need to have a drawing done of my proposed addition to my property and have it submitted to the municipality for authorization

We would like to get an idea of pricing in terms of architectual drawing for a 3 or 4 bedroom house, total open plan concept for the living room, kitchen, dining room opening up to a patio. Spacious rooms with ample cupboard space, 2 full bathrooms & a guest toilet, a walk in closet or open plan closet for the main bedroom, bringing in as much light as possible into the house. Single storey with a no ceiling structure.
