How to get building plan approval in South Africa?
What you have to do to get the permit and where to start.
Hi I have a closed in patio under a balcony. I need to have the plans for the house amended to include these changes and then have the plan submitted to the council. There are two side that were closed in, one side is half a wall and a sliding window and the other side had a sliding door added. I would like to get a quote to have these changes made to my plans and submitted to the council. Regards S van Niekerk

You can contact my wife anytime or you can contact me via email, as I said I am stuck abroad due to the current Covid pandemic. The request is quite simple: We have an old house in Durban North that we have renovated and now we want to do the following works: Carport for the granny flat. This actually already installed but not on the original house plans Veranda shelter by the pool. This actually already installed but not on the original house plans boundary wall is the old precast fence panels that we want to clad with concrete. Not sure if this requires planning permission Install 2 shipping containers, which will be converted into a Gym/storage, carport and workshop area. The attached simple drawings I have prepared will explain the above: a) Site Plan: this will show what is the actual as of today and points 1&2 b) Container Design 3: Is the top view of point 4 c) Container Design 3 Roof: Is the side views and roof design of point 4. So our request is we want an Architect to advise costs for making the plans and getting planning permission approval.

I am looking to redecorate my lounge and main bedroom only as budget is limited. Happy to consider trainees, junior members of a design team or freelancers as long as they have a good eye for colour and can put a room together. Lounge is 5m x 8m (4 large windows, loads of light) Bedroom 3.5m x 5m Sourcing for decor items from retail outlets preferred. I am not looking for bespoke custom made furniture at this point as my kids are small (4 & 7) and will ruin beautiful, expensive furniture. I've attached pictures of some styles I like.
