How to choose the right architect for your house plans?
This four-step process should help you find the right architect for the job of drawing house plans.
I have an existing house with 3 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 Kitchen and one Bathroom. I have recently bought another house and would like to put this one on Air BNB but my concern is that the rooms are very small and it’s design is not suitable for Air BNB with all rooms sharing one bathroom. Therefore l would like to extend the house and possibly add Rooms to be Four all en-suites. The back yard is also big enough to make 3 more ensuits and would like to do them.
Good day. There is a few things we want to do. 1. Remove old car port and build new one. 2. Break down braai area and build indoor braai with chimney. 3. Extend car port to backyard adding windows and sliding door, and back door. 4. Add lighting. 5. Move outdoor water pipe to the front. 6. Remove paving and add tiles. 7. Remove old artificial grass and add new one. 8. Break down pillar. That's what I recall.

I would then need someone who can refine the design so that it can match the standards of a good Air BNB.
I wish to inquire about the possibility of getting a plan drafted for a contemporary loft apartment (80 square meters, full bathrooms for downstairs and loft area, dark grey color pallet with a bold industrial character). I wish to also ask about the approximate cost for the plan itself and a bill of quantities. I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards,

Good day, I am in the process of considering to buy and renovate a house. There is a few notable changes I would like to consider. The first one is to extend the current garage in order to accommodate a second vehicle. The garage currently is 16,5m squared and the backyard can accommodate the extension. A door will need to be added for courtyard and braai room access. The second change is to revamp the current front wall to accommodate a motorized gate. Not too sure if this will need to get approved or designed by an architect? Third change is to close off an existing sunroom for privacy. The wall will be approximately 4,21m and will need a few windows for sunlight. Fourth change will be to extend the current living area to create a braai room. This will join the tandem garage and will be dependent on the building lines allowed by the building commission / municipality. If all goes well, this change will be approximately 24,6m squared (8,2m x 3m) The fifth and final potential change is to add a scullery. This will be a smaller extension and accounting for 3,75m squared (1,5 x 2,5m) Please see attached original house plan and potential changes included. Kind regards,
Office revamp. We want a nautical theme given the nature of our business and effective utilization of space etc. and interior design services. I am based in Durban, but the business that needs the interior design is located in Fourways. I will be in Fourways the middle of February, we can set up meetings then. It is not just simple painting that we need, there are quite a few alterations. We need someone to actually see the space first before offering a quote.
I want to break out a wall that's underneath my staircase. The wall is load bearing and I thought I could put a steel beam in it's place as support. I also want to enlarge and already existing square arch but I am not sure how much of the wall I can take off. Then I also want to enlarge my the opening that my sliding is in. I want to enlarge it horizontally (not vertically) - again I am not sure how much of the wall I can take off

Preference will be to talk via Whatsapp. Difficult to take calls during the day. Will try my best to answer questions. Some will have to be discussed/answered by my husband. We would like advise on converting a 4 motor vehicle garage into a 2 bedroom Flatlet. Using the space to its optimal potential and finding ways to cross limitation such as ventilation, natural lighting, heat, going green, privacy, cost saving etc.
