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 would like to extend from single to double story. The plan must be approved firstly by the Home Owners association and then by the Tshwane Municipality and then by the bank (FNB). Currently the house is 3 bedroom, 80sqrs and would like a second floor that's also roughly 80sqrs. I attached a picture of what I would like, It is only for demonstration purposes. I do have the plan of the house, I can also share my project on Revit if that will be of any help to understand my requests. Please contact me via email.
Must have main bedroom and one room, bathroom shower, toilet and sitting room and outside spare room and room for wallflower and house break building in. Can you send me a quote on WhatsApp?
We have a three and a half bed-room cottage in Muizenberg Village. Its a heritage cottage around years old, There are no plans with council as they were destroyed in a fire some time back. However there is a heritage overlay. AS much as possible we would like to avoid the lengthly heritage process - so anyway we can work within the law and reduce the need for planning permissions the better. I don't know if this is possble by mainly doing internal changes? We would like to add bathrooms to the cottage, possibly in the side lane if possible, but alternatively within the bedrooms themselves. The cottage has a front and rear garden (with access to the rear garden via a sidelane), so we were hoping to design the house so that it can be split in half to two two-bedroom apartments which can be airbnb'ed. The lounge at the back of the house would need to be a bedroom and the kitchen and back stoep would need to be a small kitchen and living area. Then if necessary a door in the centre corridor could be opened and the house could be used as a five bedroom home.
I have a house, it has two bedrooms, a toilet and an open kitchen and a sitting room. I want to extend it by two bedrooms to make it a four-bedroom house, I also want to extend the toilet into a proper bathroom. With regard to the kitchen and sitting room, I want it to be an open kitchen and sitting room, plus a single-car garage. I want the house to have a flat butterfly roof.
