How to get building plan approval in South Africa?
What you have to do to get the permit and where to start.
I would like to extend from single to double story. The plan must be approved firstly by the Home Owners association and then by the Tshwane Municipality and then by the bank (FNB). Currently the house is 3 bedroom, 80sqrs and would like a second floor that's also roughly 80sqrs. I attached a picture of what I would like, It is only for demonstration purposes. I do have the plan of the house, I can also share my project on Revit if that will be of any help to understand my requests. Please contact me via email.
We have a three and a half bed-room cottage in Muizenberg Village. Its a heritage cottage around years old, There are no plans with council as they were destroyed in a fire some time back. However there is a heritage overlay. AS much as possible we would like to avoid the lengthly heritage process - so anyway we can work within the law and reduce the need for planning permissions the better. I don't know if this is possble by mainly doing internal changes? We would like to add bathrooms to the cottage, possibly in the side lane if possible, but alternatively within the bedrooms themselves. The cottage has a front and rear garden (with access to the rear garden via a sidelane), so we were hoping to design the house so that it can be split in half to two two-bedroom apartments which can be airbnb'ed. The lounge at the back of the house would need to be a bedroom and the kitchen and back stoep would need to be a small kitchen and living area. Then if necessary a door in the centre corridor could be opened and the house could be used as a five bedroom home.
I have a house, it has two bedrooms, a toilet and an open kitchen and a sitting room. I want to extend it by two bedrooms to make it a four-bedroom house, I also want to extend the toilet into a proper bathroom. With regard to the kitchen and sitting room, I want it to be an open kitchen and sitting room, plus a single-car garage. I want the house to have a flat butterfly roof.
Hi there I am planning to build a 3-bedroom house with an open-plan kitchen, dining area, bathroom and a double garage.

Good morning I live in London, UK and own a house in Petrel Close in Camps Bay which is operated as a guest Villa by Nox rentals. I have obtained planning consent for the demolition of an existing garage and the construction of a new garage at street level and refurbishment and conversion of an existing garage into a fully-equipped gym with an external access passageway as shown in the attached plans. The existing architect who obtained the permissions has had a career change and is unable to assist with construction and completion of the building works. I am therefore looking to identify an architect to assist in preparing for the construction, appointing a QS and identifying contractors to tender for the works. I am flexible on the start of the process but would like to have an introductory meeting to look at the site and have a general conversation. I shall be in Cape Town this 18 /12 to 4 Jan and was wondering if you are available for a meeting.

I am an indigent older person with life rights in a retirement village. We pay a levy for management services . A generator has been installed so that those with "oxygen" machines are serviced during load shedding. The Generator is fully enclosed and free standing and adjacent to a brick wall we ask if it is necessary to have plans drawn and BCMM approval for the "lean-too" roof. Our Municipal building inspector has advised verbally that it is not necessary so we ask for a second opinion as the extra expense would be a heavy burden for us oldies.
The flat is double height with ~47 square metre floor space. I require an architectural drawing of a planned mezzanine with ~28 square metre floor space, and a staircase. The builder has drawn plans for both mezzanine and staircase. The architectural plans are for the purpose of building Trustee and approval
