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 need a modern, classy house. I could stay in something that wouldn't feel over 5-10 years outdated and out. Lots of renewable energy like solar power. Lots of natural light. Must have 3-4 bedrooms 3-4 bathrooms Open plan kitchen and dining for 10-12 guests Open patio to braai and entertain guests
We had a builder who was building but then disappeared with our house plans and it turns out that he did a poor job with the building as well. We need an architect to help us with the redrawing of plans. We are planning to extend the front of the house and turning the front of the house into a two story by adding a bedroom and a lounge to the top part.
I need to remodel a small 48sqm home’s interior layout by removing a wall to create an open-plan kitchen-living area, and redoing the kitchen and bathroom. I also need to replace the roof (currently asbestos), ceiling, windows and doors, and finishes. I also want to add a front stoep with braai. Please would you let me know if you can assist.
Our two story house's living space is the top floor...bedrooms are bottom floor. Its basically the "stoep-area" above our garage that i want to rebuild into a indoor braai area...as well as a room. So the entire i think 20sqm area of the stoep will be converted into a 8 sq room and indoor braairoom. Braairoom 12sqm approx.
We are looking at building a loft apartment above the garage as well as renovating the interior of the main house. The main house renovation will include interior redesign of bathrooms and a kitchen as well as extending the kitchen to incorporate the courtyard. We are looking for an architect to do a site visit and advise us as best they can on what is possible and on what might not be.
I bought a property from sellers and essentially bought 4 walls and a roof because the building was gutted. When I bought it, there were some issues with the roof and I needed to fix that. The original plans for the building were drawn by a draughtsman and I am now being told that those plans are no longer sufficient and they need to be redone by an accredited architect.
I needs an H shaped farm style design. The house must have a big veranda and must have a left wing and right wing. There needs to be a kitchen, dining room, bedrooms in the left wing. The right wing needs to have my main bedroom which will be an en suite and it has to have a kitchenette as well. Open plan. The main idea is that I am able to have my own space at one side of the house if I wish to have privacy.
Good day Please note I have taken a shop in Pretoria CBD Arcadia to be specific with my land lords being city property. I need an a sacap registered architect design for our next shop sized at 49sqm.

Please advise the requirements for such and how long it will take to prepare it. Cause we need it ASAP.

We have a 3 bedroom house. My wife has some ideas of rearranging (or should I say remodelling like changing locations of the kitchen and garage and bedrooms within the house) the house and also adding an additional bedroom. I am hoping to set up a meeting/consultation where the architect could give us some suggestions regarding what could work.
