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.
We have just moved into a home in the country, it is a beautiful home and I would love to know how to decorate it properly. I love the country/farmhouse style decor but have no idea where to source furniture of this kind or even where to start. I would love some advice, some guidance and some help!! It is a big home so we would possibly look at room by room, when we can afford it. This is my dream home and would love it to be furnished to bring out the character of the house.
(1) obtain/redraw existing plans as we do not have this for the house (2) design a boma area of about 8x6m (3) design extension of existing house 3,7x4,7m (4) design a way to cover up /extend the house's U-shape veranda. We'd like to use the plans to obtain a quote from construction guys... project will not start immediately but I need an amount to work towards to.
I just bought a new stand in Bloemfontein area and looking to build a sqm house with 4 beds, 4.5 baths and 2-3 garages. Currently, I'm looking to get a plan completed and looking for 2 cost options: if architect provides approved plans only, and also if architect were to project manage until the end of the build.
We need a kitchen extension out the back of our house as well as a bedroom extension out the side of our house. There is also a possibility of adding a bathroom on suite to the extended bedroom depending on cost. There is an existing outside wall that will need to be broken down in order to build the bedroom extension. Kitchen : extend out by 2m. The kitchen is 2.6m wide bedroom: extend out by 1 to 3m as the area available is triangular in shape. the bedroom is 3m wide. Please use Whatsapp for communication, I can't take a call.
