When do I need a building permit in South Africa?
In South Africa, building applications for the construction of property and land use are highly regulated.

I have purchased a house that has recently been built. I would like ideas on furnishing and decorating. So I have bought a brand new home, the kitchen has been designed by the owner already but not built yet. he also designed the cupboards for the bedroom but allowed me to make changes. I’m not sure how decorators work in terms of costs. Kindly send me infor via email or what’s app as I’m at work and cannot speak. I would like ideas for bedroom, lounge, dining area and a bachelor pad decorating.
Building plan creation and submission. 1. Add new kitchen in a dining area with space for gas stove washing bowl and centre island. 2. Convert exiting kitchen into a pantry, scullery and washroom. 3. Brick up existing kitchen window with glass bricks. 4. Remove existing dining room window and replace with two smaller windows flanking a new Gas Stove. 5. Convert 1 bedroom into a bathroom to create a second ensuite. 6. Remove a wall between Storeroom and TV room to create one space with doors to close when not in use as a cinema room. Create a doorway into maids room from the new cinema room to create a new gym room
We would like to have our Kitchen to be remodeled: - Have a Little Island with the Top 4 gas stove (with installation of 48 Kg Gas Outside) , if possible, sink next to it. - Eye Level Oven against the Wall - Cabinets to be redone, with two appliances space, and fridge space - Tiles between counter top and cabinet - Counter top Quartz Material (White) That area has a door on the 4.50 m side of the wall, opposite a window about 1 m wide. What budget roughly are we looking at?
Hi - I currently have a cottage which was a previously converted garage that was already added onto. I want to now remodel this. It is along side another small bedroom (domestic quarter) which I want to breakthrough. The space will contain a small living room open planned with a bedroom and then the domestic quarters broken open to become a new bathroom. I would like this drawn up so I can get building / renovation costs.

Cosy with entartainment space and maximum views of river. Double garage with storage space. Needs to comply with Admiral Island achitectural guidelines.
Interior remodel, removable on non load supporting walls to create open plan living. Extension to create more space, extend roof and or add awnings to create outdoor living space, add a pool, add a fire pit, add a deck, add a built in braai pizza oven/ outdoor kitchen and plan retaining walls. I require assistance in the planning, layout and drawings for the build project to be done in stages as and when finances are available.
This is a bit of a mixed request. We have a lot of space, but I am not sure how to keep it well organised. I have a 3 and 5 year old, so the house needs to be functional and safe, with no frills that I am unable to maintain. The kids spend most of their time indoors, as outside is not adequate for unsupervised play. We require set up of office space (for work from home), some organisation of my hobby & craft space, storage space and my kids' bedrooms. We also have a space which the previous owner used as a hair salon, which we are wanting to turn into a gym space (child friendly), however this section of the house will require some building work, as it is not properly waterproofed. There would also be some miscellaneous maintenance work required.

We have bought a newly renovated stand alone house in Craighall. it has 4 bedrooms, two lounges and a dining room. My wishes: to have the home professionally decorated into a stylish, but comfortable home. It needs to be homely, but not basic. I generally like the traditional classic look but this house has modern elements and hence my need for assistance so that it doesn't look confused. The look needs to be sophisticated, but also functional because we have a toddler and family may still grow. Obviously it needs to be cost effective. Expectations: Never having used the services of interior design before, I am expecting collaboration on ideas, advise and sourcing right through to seeing to delivery and staging of the furniture and pieces.
