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 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.

3 bedroom modern double storey house. With a open plan kitchen and large living room. One bedroom downstairs and 2 bedrooms upstairs with a balcony. Glass and metal finishes, 2 bedrooms with both shower and tub. Carport and pavement with lots of green grass and exotic trees. Plot size is square meters and building with a pool and gazebo outside.
Good day I need ideas for small spaces in the house to maximize the use for it. For instance, I have 2 rooms, on the smaller side, but have to accommodate 2 kids per room. I therefore need estimates of what I will be looking at price wise and then decide if I can do all spaces in one go or in sections. Thank you kindly Kind regards
I am looking for drawings done by Paul Mathews Architects (now Procompare), I have tried calling the number on the drawing but it is never answered. I am working on the fire detection layout but am working on hand sketched drawings of the site. the drawing attached is what I'm looking for in DWG format along with the ground and second floor office layouts. attached is the drawing number for reference and an example of the hand sketched drawings I am working from.
The yard is 30m x 20m. Im not sure of the the house size so I selected - sqm, it could be larger. 1. 4 bedrooms, 3 upstairs, 1 guest room down stairs. Main bedroom with in suit bathroom, toilet and small walk in closet, the other two bedrooms will share a bathroom and toilet and have built in wall closets. the guest bedroom must have an in suit bathroom, toilet and built in wall closets. 2. kitchen with pantry and scullery with space for waher and dryer. 3. dining room with large access to a patio. 4. lounge 5. double car garage side by side with a pass through for one car on the far end. 6. entertainment area over the garage with a braai area and must have an external stairway from outside and an entrance door from the upstairs passage. 7. a passage closet for extra blankets and stuff. 8. a toilet downstairs for guests. 9. a passage entrance from the garage into the the house. That's what we are thinking for the house, our yard has the blyde mountains in the background and we would love if the dining area, patio, entertainment area and main bedroom can have a view of that.
