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.
Studio apartment Coral Point new development. Would like to design for holiday letting and some private use. Need to maximise the space. Also looking at natural colours (greys, beige) with added sea breeze colour to create holiday feel. Decor needs to be strong wearing. Do not want to spend a fortune on a small place, so cost is a factor.
Good day I am planning to develop a water park in the rural village which is around Louis Trichardt, Limpopo. I am intending to secure a 5hectare land and for the purposes of rezoning and the environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), I was advised to get a draft of the plans. It will be my pleasure if you afford me the opportunity to meet and discuss the possibilities. In the meantime please find attached some of the different picture that will inform my waterpark project. Your assistance will be highly appreciated. Kind regards

Hi There! So, I have a one bedroom unit, that already has a concrete slab on top to build up, so I just want to build the same unit on top of the existing one. So it will be 4 exterior walls, 2 interior walls for the bathroom on the one corner and obviously windows and a sliding door..and then a flat roof that I can turn into a patio. Thank you. Kind Regards Ella

The property is an old stone farm barn that I would like to turn into a 2-3 bedroom house. I would like to keep the character of the building and its surroundings while still incorporating modern amenities and keeping it in line with a small budget. I love South African architecture and would prefer no Tuscan inspired designs as a must.
I am planning to start a new residential construction project. It should have the modern look yet with a country homey feel and finish with the double story main house having 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms(one en-suite bathroom, ground floor bathroom and top floor bathroom). I also require that the main house be attached to a 6/8 corner house with a double car garage connecting the two. The double story 6/8 also contain 1 bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a patio on top while a lounge area and kitchen be on the ground floor.
The document attached has pictures of what the house should look like when its completed. I need the plan to be drawn to scale, submitted for approval and an estimation of what the construction will cost. My plan is to build in the next 2 months. Project duration I would like to keep within 2,5 months.
