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'm looking to build a small 1-2 bedroom blockhouse inspired cottage, with a braai/patio and mini pool in a stand at Marloth Park. The land is vacant and may need preparation for the cottage so if possible could I get estimates of that as well. I have attached images of the ideas I had in mind.
outside walls
4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, guest powder room, combined lounge, diningroom, kitchen, washing room, double garages, stain of all wooden window frames and wooden doors and double garage doors, Exterior: painting (building sqm), high pressure cleaning of outside verranda +/- sqm as well as all paving areas, treatment of damping of walls outside.
an open plan garage size room with shower and toilet
It's a standard 3 Bedroom House with en suite in main bedroom, need upgrade. Dining room needs extension to create entertainment area. Bathroom wall to come down, so that en suit become part of the bathroom. Main bedroom to be extended with en suite and walk-in closet. Close garage to create 4th bedroom. On the property is a shed that we want to shift to the corner and the plan also should provide for that. Kitchen needs extension. Lastly we want to build a pool of 5x4. Hope that helps
To discuss with chosen architects
3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, kitchen, verandah
l have 84sm with an RDP on it. I would like to turn the whole yard into a rental project. My idea is to have 6 or 8 units according to standard. 4 at the bottom and 4 at the top. the RDP can be restructured & walls broken down to fit my expectations. Each unit must be divided into 3 : have a bedroom, toilet+shower & Dinning room. I definitely would like the plan to be approved and start work exactly this June. Please let me know you quotation and advice if you are able to submit the plans and they get approved. My mobile is currently not working but l am able to contact you back please email.
