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.
It is an upstairs addition. I need to know the condition of the foundation and if it will be able to handle another level. And I need to know all the costs involved. I need someone who can come and check out the property. Please email me as I am currently traveling and phone calls are a bit difficult at the moment.
We are purchasing a property that is residential but forms part of a mixed used building (there are stores down stairs). We require a certificate to apply to apply for a mixed use property to be rated as residential. (the document to which this certificate is to be attached has been included in this request.)

We require an update to a previously approved plan (attached m). The plans are no longer to our taste and the extensions are larger than we currently require. The intention is to more effectively create useful spaces on a smaller footprint and creating a better integration with the limited yard space and to reduce the amount of space available for parking.
The type of project is student accommodation. There is an existing building has 8 units, a communal kitchen and a communal bathroom. The extension should consist of about 44 units including the existing structure. The unit must be singles. We can discuss the sharing and other facilities once you have developed a concept. Please advise on your rate and how you like to work
