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 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.
I need a quotation of square meter solar panels manufacturing plant , 10 square meter production area, m2, laboratory, m2 office area, Canteen m2 , the total size of the area with parking lot and garden is m2. This property is for manufacturing purposes and needs an architect who is well versed with this scope of work.
