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 have flat roof sections in my house above the kitchen and entrance hall and need to build a pitched roof due to water leaks.I have made repairs to no avail and the cost to waterproof does not warrant the expenditure. I was looking at just building the roofing for now above the kitchen and entrance hall and later turning the area above the kitchen into a study. While having to submit plans i would also like to determine cost of adding a patio to the plans infront of the area C on the current plans (attachment 1) which wraps around to area A (New coverage). The current roof is corrugated roof sheeting and would be used for both the area above the kitchen as well as the patio. Kind regards

Hi, The house is already built, and I have the approved plans with me. The house currently is square meters. There are 3 balconies, roughly totalling 18 square meters. Optionally, I want to add to the plan a room above my garage. The garage has a roof over it and is 36 square meters. I can discuss this further with the architect. I require the plan to be modified as above, approval with the home owners association board in my estate, and then approval at the deeds office. I need the fee for this service, and how long this process will take. Also aware that professionals might not edit someone elses work. So advice how we will go about.
