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.
In the past 3 years, I have completed minor renovations at my home in Paulshof, Jhb North. I had an architect design the additions and draft new plans, but I never got the plans approved at city council due to the incredibly long and inefficient process at council. It would be great to get my plans approved and updated with the city council so everything is in order if I need to sell one day. Would you be able to assist with this? I believe I need both a Building Plan approval and a Site Development Plan approval. I can provide completed architectural plans on request.
Good day I trust you are well. I am looking for a company to design me a residential house in an estate. My idea is to have a double story building with a swimming pool, a few bedrooms (some with ensuite), open plan kitchen and dining area.

I am available on Whatsapp, Whatsapp call and email. A 3 bedroom house, with a kitchen, sitting room, bathroom and dining room. One of the bedrooms would be a master bedroom with it's own bathroom and toilet, study office and a small dressing room. It should come with 2 veranda, one on the kitchen door and the other on the sitting room door.
14 meters by 4 meters (56 square meters) in size. It is going to be a vibracrete house on a back yard property. The 14 meter front wall will have 5 windows & 14 meter back wall will have two fixed windows with the main door. Both 14 meter walls will be 1 meter away from neighbors boundary walls. So "No Objection Forms " will be necessary, but not a problem because of good neighbors. I want to do it within Building Code Planning Regulations.
I would like to build residential units of bachelor flats, one bedroom and two bedrooms in Bethanie for the miners and low-to-medium earning workers around there. Total units should be 16 on the property purchased. Units must include basic facility needs such as a toilet/bathroom in each. The least amount of space should be used to construct each unit, with parking and a lapa/play area facility on the premises.
Please do not Whatsapp me as I have a business Whatsapp and I am scared that I might miss something. Either a call or email will be preferred. It will be either an extension or a remodel. We are not too sure which one so we will need to be in touch with someone who knows what they are talking about. We have a very big house on a very big plot and we want to add flats and maybe split the house in sections.
looking for a simple yet sophisticated square-shaped design with some character, in addition to an A frame existing building without having to disrupt too much of the current roof but build in a way that the existing roof is not so visible, to go out on either side of the property by 2 meters with double garage.
Good day, I am working on a building project and wanted to find out how many 1-bedroom units can be built on land approximately 1 .58 square meters big. This includes parking and enough space to avoid clutter. The building can also be 2 stories high. Also, roughly how much would the entire project cost? The numbers do not have to be perfect; I just need information before hiring another dodgy architect. Thanks and regards, Glaser.
