Do I need an architect if I want to build a house in South Africa?

There's a 5 roomed house, so I wish to build the student accommodation as the use Zone is Residential 3 and it is less than 5 minutes from a TVT College. The house could be used for additional accommodation/Commune or be put down if there's a need. The start of project will depend on availability of funds. I have to present the Building plan and cost of building in order to qualify for funding so maybe 3 or more months.

Hi I want to have a front wall built in front of the garden on the boundary. I have a builder and the existing plans with me however I would just need a quote for the updated plan for the wall on the boundary. At some point, I would like to add a splash pool in my yard and room on top of the garage. This would be at a later stage (approximately within two years) So I would like to have this added to the plan as well. Kind Regards
