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 will be flying overseas to Spain at the beginning of May and I will be coming back in about September then I will be getting the ball rolling with the house plan. Please Whatsapp or email me. I am looking to build a house of approximately sqm. I am looking to know how much the whole architectural process will be along with submitting to council.
We bought a house, never knew that the flatlet was not on the building plans. So we looking around for someone just to change the garage to the existing flatlet. So needing prices, we got asked R just to change garage to flatlet. Which I feel is really a rip off. I do understand things cost money but not at that price.
I recently discovered there are no drawings at the Rustenburg municipality for my townhouse. I need "as built" drawings of the townhouse and thatched lapa to comply to insurance requirements and to be able to sell my property. The townhouse is in the Arendskloof complex. Thank you for your quote.
Good day We need to extend building and open up inside to accommodate more storage space. We need Plans drawn up and assistant with getting approval from Municipality. This is for a Takealot pick up point with a deadline attached, so I need urgent assistance here please if you are able to assist.

I have been defrauded by about 2 "architects" previously and I would like to be connected with companies closer to me so that we can have meetings and I can see them face to face. The previous guys did some work but never submitted anything to council, I need someone to draw plans for me and also see the process through this time in terms of submitting to town council.
It is just a verandah that was on the original plans that we enclosed. Its tiny and I can send you the plans and the measurements but it is a small job. Not as urgent I want to alter some really old plans for a new place I am buying, I just need a room put onto a cottage and a change of size on another room. Money is tight so don't want to spend a fortune.
I want to build a 4 bedroom two story home. 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 downstairs. The master bedroom should have an en suite bathroom and there should also be a separate shared bathroom. There should also be a separate toilet and a living room/entertaining area on the top floor. I have some further specs that can be sent upon request.
