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.
I am doing internal renovations and 1 of the changes need council approval as per body corporate. Already started with the project. I initially assume we only need an engineer report to approve the relocation of the bathroom door which have. Body corporate still insist on council approval. Will attach a drawing that’s explains everything.

There's a 5 roomed house, so I wish to build the student accommodation as the use Zone is Residential 3 and it is less than 5 minutes from a TVT College. The house could be used for additional accommodation/Commune or be put down if there's a need. The start of project will depend on availability of funds. I have to present the Building plan and cost of building in order to qualify for funding so maybe 3 or more months.
