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 own a property on Parow, its situated at 50 Provident North, Avondale, and would like plans drawn up of the existing property so that I can then plan how to do any renovations. I tried unsuccessfully to get plans from the municipality probably because the house was built many years ago. Kindly let me know what is the cost of drawing up a plan for the existing property. Thank you.
I would like to convert our corner plot to a carport area with some I.R.B sheets to inclosing the open area that is facing the road.But we have completed the boundary wall facing the road with some vibracrete fencing which is 8slabs high and I have a good idea how to make use of it but I am going to need a good acritect to make sure that it is right way and to submit it to the original plans of the house.
