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'm looking to: See page 1 of plans: 1. Remove the walls behind the "Bar"; 2. Create as much south and west facing windows as possible in "existing diningroom" (similar to "w4" and "w5") See page 2 of plans: 3. Add a new bathroom next to "Bedroom 4" in what is now the "Foyer" to be used by "Bedroom 4", containing basin, bath and shower as well as shaver plug; 4. Close "Existing Balcony" south of Bedroom 4 with a slab to create another bedroom, bedroom 5; 5. Change plans so that the bathroom west of this new bedroom 5 is linked to bedroom 5 (move door) and possibly make bathroom smaller so that new bedroom will be larger; 6. Extend the new bedroom 5 into "Existing Bedroom 4" to create a walk in cupboard; 7. Close the double volume and remove wall between "double volume" and "existing TV room" 8. Extend "existing main bedroom" into "existing main bathroom" in line with east wall of "existing balcony", making both "existing main bathroom" and "Existing Dressingrm" smaller 9.

I need someone who can help me choose suitable wall decorations, lighting and furniture colours that complement one another. I want the consultant to consider what is available in the house and help me choose colours of what is missing, as well as help by suggesting wall decor. It would be ideal if the consultant is able to simulate and provide a picture of what the house would look like at the end of the project.
