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 want to extend our double garage by 1.5 meters and potentially modify the roof from being flat to being pitched, also the current garage door needs to be moved to another location on the pre-existing part of the garage wall. Our goal is to be able to park both our vehicles in the garage as well as have additional space for working. The current garage area is 6.5 x 6.5 m and has 2 seperate motorised doors. A fire safe door into the home (to be moved) and a back door to the side of the home (outward leading door).

We have done some alterations to our house and we thought that the person who did our plans back then submitted everything. We have now sold the house and the new owner is looking for the plans, only to find out that the plans were never even submitted for the extensions. We have now fully moved to Jeffrey's Bay and need someone to help us sort this out asap!
The house is situated opposite a vineyard The colors of the furniture and paintings should compliments it We have two teenage children a boy and a girl. My mother will be occupying a room her colour is blue but not harsh. Then the main bedroom looks out to the vineyard.. Then there are two living spaces as well as the kitchen that needs to be furnished. This is a big project but we would like to finish the main area first. My partner is From Rwanda and his kids I am from South Africa. We have two weeks to complete the main areas because the children will come to visit. Oh we need appliances for the kitchen aa well.
