How to get building plan approval in South Africa?
What you have to do to get the permit and where to start.
I want to turn the property into a double story. The land itself is a bit tricky though so I need someone who can come out and do a site visit and check if that is possible. I am in Johannesburg and the property is in Durban. There are people around though so they will be able to facilitate a site visit.
Installation of insulated dry walls on two sides between existing columns under existing IBR roof. Installation of electric up and over door in existing arched entrance. One drywall to be studded to carry batteries and switchgear by others. Existing brick paved surface to be retained. Full frontal and side views for Trustee approval. Two sets of proposal drawings are required for two similar garages on the same site.
I have no idea if I even chose the right sqm. That's how clueless I am. I need house plans drawn up for an open plan bar style house. I have a very good idea of what I'd like the house to look like on the inside and outside. It will be a 5 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom, very open plan on a sqm erf in the shape of an L?
This is just a rough draft and the measurements on it are subject to change. We would like to obtain a quote from you for the cost of redrawing the plans based on the provided rough draft. This would involve refining the layout, ensuring accuracy, and incorporating the additional details and specifications to be outlined in the notes to be discussed in further communication. Additionally, please include any consultation or revision fees in your quote. We are also interested in determining the amount of land required to implement these plans effectively. As such, we kindly request your expertise in assessing the land size needed for the proposed facilities, taking into account factors such as building footprints, outdoor spaces, and circulation areas.

We want to build an outdoor area with steel, brick and glass and would obviously need plans for that. I've attached some google images so you can see what style we want to go for PLUS photos, video and a drawing of what we want to do. That's projetct ONE. Project two is smaller as its a remodelling of our outbuildings, by extending the roof over the wasted space. Attached are also photos and a drawing of what we want to do. I'm not sure my outbuildings configuration is % cause it feels squased but anyway. Something you guys can guide us on when we get to the actual plans. Please provide a quote for projects one and two separately. Please ensure that this includes all sign-offs needed i.e. engineering approval. Please also include a line item for managing the whole process of submitting the plans. Thanks
Idea is to build in 3 phases, the outer walls to be lifted by approximately 7 rows of bricks to accommodate a lof area over bedrooms, with a open high roof in kitchen, dinner table and lounge area. Feel free to ask questions. Open to suggestions. This is to give an idea of what the need is. Also the 1st phase bathroom to be wheelchair friendly.
I wish for this apartments building to be open space minimalist and each room to have as much natural lighting as possible, and I would like for the interior to have lots of black and the outdoor to have a bit of greenery and a chilling space since I'm targeting all sorts of people from students to employees with this apartments and I'd love for it to cater for everyone
I like to shop at second-hand and antique stores rather than buying brand new boilerplate stuff. This is not necessarily to save money, but for the character and pieces that are interesting.

My style is kind of traditional farmhouse, but not cluttered or fussy, with a touch of eclectic.
Good Afternoon 1. I need to add an en-suite full bathroom to one of the bedrooms downstairs 2. Convert an Open Patio upstairs to a bedroom with full en-suite 3. Add on Maids quarters with shower/Toilet and kitchenette 4. Add a boundary wall with a gate I therefore need the plans to be drawn and updated with the above and get quotes for the work to be done. This is a house am buying and want to get all the pre-work concluded so the actual repairs can start as soon as the house is registered I do have access to the house on arrangement
