How to get building plan approval in South Africa?
What you have to do to get the permit and where to start.
Extend existing lounge and dining room to a new entertainment room (to be built). New entertainment room to overlook garden on one side and swimming pool on the other, therefore two sliding door entrances required on opposite sides of room. Loft in roof of house for a study and storage with retractable / foldable ladder. Existing entertainment room (outside main bedroom) to be divided to increase size of main bedroom. 1 bedroom cottage (2.4 x 3m) to built behind house.
The intention is to go up 2 levels on an existing house (Zoning GR 2), creating additional 3x 3 bedroomed self catering apartments , also register sectional title (For possibly selling 3 apartments after 5 years). Maximum utilisation of views required, roof overhangs to serve as veranda/decking/flooring protection, solar electricity solution to provide 10-15kva/hr, possibly grid connected or alternatively, island solution.. Access to 2nd-4th floor is problematic, possibly an elevator system to cater for disabled guests.
I would like to do a small renovation to my home, I am uncertain at this point if I should build a granny flat or add on an additional bedroom and bathroom to my house for my elderly parent. I would also like to enclose my current undercover braai area and incorporate a laundry into my garage. I don't get much sun in the front of my house so I would like advice on making basic changes to incorporate more sun.

Hi, we are looking at doing renovations in our new home and need an estimate of what it would cost to draw up new plans. We have an extended facility with the bank and they require plans, even if all structural changes are internal. We have a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom and 1.5 living rooms. A single garage etc. I have attached our current house plans. We are planning on knocking out the kitchen wall to open up the area into an open plan. We also want to knock out the wall between the dining room and steps leading down to the living room. We have already received confirmation that none of the walls are bearing walls. Please advise what the estimate cost would be to draw up new plans. Thank you,
