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.
Plans needs to be approved, & heritage stamp on the building
Furnishing & accessorising
I want to build a simple 2 storeys house that will use the total allowable space ( square meters). Rough thinking is as follows: all bedrooms upstairs, open plan plan living downstairs with three garages. How much would the architectural drawings costs roughly? I am attaching a plan of the site.
Want to add patio, garage, extend two bedrooms, remove wall between kitchen & dining
Building plans / drawings for additional entertainment room on the roof of existing house with a concrete roof.
It’s a loft which will be listed on Airbnb .. It must have contemporary look and feel. Should also feel warm and comfortable. Needs furniture, painting & other accessories.
4 bedroom, I want to convert one of bedrooms into a dining room & turn both kitchen into an open plan area. Some remodelling of the kitchen unit as well as new furniture for the dining area.
The property is an old stone farm barn that I would like to turn into a 2-3 bedroom house. I would like to keep the character of the building and its surroundings while still incorporating modern amenities and keeping it in line with a small budget. I love South African architecture and would prefer no Tuscan inspired designs as a must.
We would like to extend our living room, add a entertainment area at the back of our house, we live in a town house so we also want to extend to the front of the house but second story, (adding main bedroom with on suit, and two extra bedrooms)
3 bedrooms with the main en-suite, 2 bathrooms,lounge, dining room, modern kitchen, scullery, guest toilet, study n a double garage
