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 am planning an extension and modification of our garage. If all goes well this will be the first of a series of renovations to our property. A structural engineer's report is attached. A feature not included in the report is the desire to extend the garage to the sidewalk.
I want to extend a single story house with a double story part. I need a garage at the bottom and a bedroom on top. I also want to extend the kitchen slightly.
We need to remodel our industrial building of about sqm. I live in the North Coast of KZN and this industrial building is in Mafikeng. I will not be having the time to be liaising with municipality etc as I am not in the area. I will need the architect to help with submitting plans as well and the project management aspect.
I am looking to convert two bedrooms into one main bedroom and a walk-in closet.
It's a hardware store we need it to be arranged.
Need advice as we want to remove a wall internally and enclose the stoep
I have a rough idea of what I am looking for. Please call me to discuss.
I have a 3 room house, consisting of 2 bedroom and Dining room and Kitchen in 1 Room , so i want to separate the Dining room and Kitchen , extent a little bit to have the kitchen separate, without the house losing its shape. Please Help. i have attached a picture of the house, the windows you see its the bedrooms and when you enter its the dining and kitchen in 1 wall.
create more space and to create natural flow, we have an idea in mind but we are looking for some advice as well.
We're interested in buying a house that is in the area we want but is too small. Our idea is to extend from the existing braai room to create the space for a larger living room and dining room and for the kitchen to then extend out into part of the existing living room. We would also need to add a study which we think could be built behind the garage and provide direct access from the home to the garage. We would also need a pool. Overall the extension would probably be around 30m2.
