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.
Good day Please note I have taken a shop in Pretoria CBD Arcadia to be specific with my land lords being city property. I need an a sacap registered architect design for our next shop sized at 49sqm. The land lord needs to send it to council for approval and the one we had they said was ok but not not fit for sacap approval So we wanted to submit ours to be re designed and approved. Please advise the requirements for such and how long it will take to prepare it. Cause we need it ASAP.
TVET took a decision to standardize all Sites’ entrance areas (Receptions), Staff Rooms, Kitchen, and Ablution Facilities and bring about brand uniformity by adding touches that are representing our brand in a unique way. The 3D renderings are necessary for approval prior to the commencement of the project. The Interior Designers must be on the Central Supplier Database (CSD) in order to do business with the college since we are a Government Institution. Thanks
I would like to modernize and furnish a 2-bedroom/2-bathroom apartment in Sea Point for personal use and potential short-term rental when I am not in Cape Town. My taste/style skews modern, minimalist (I will provide photos of other houses/apartments). I will need to completely furnish the apartment and am looking for layout, design ideas, and interior styling/decorating ideas. I work from home when in Cape Town so 2nd bedroom needs to function as home-office, and it would be ideal if it could also be used as a bedroom for guests. A video of the unit can be found at https://youtu.be/cTGx0UPDCOg. My tenant moves out at the end of September and I would like to be able to move in as soon as possible thereafter. I am available on Whatsapp, email and Whatsapp call.
We recently bought a home in Lonehill and looking to renovate the home. It is an older home but has many possibilities and we are looking for something different and nice. We are planning a full renovation first and then will proceed with the interior styling. I am French and my English is not the best but I am able to discuss.
It is a residential property that I am considering purchasing. But would like ideas on space within the house, current floors or replace the floors, would think I need to replace cupboards, etc. house is 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, dining room, kitchen and a bar. Just want to ensure the most optimal space. Is that something you are able to assist with?
A little about me: I am requesting assistance in styling a 3-bedroom apartment working with the layout in existence (no major rehab please). I expect to be closing on this week in a new development (Living/Dining/Entryway/Main Bed areas). My style is modern/comfortable/accessible. I also want to integrate things that I brought from my place of origin (photos, artifacts etc.) just to create a home feel. I like plants and spaces that create opportunities for mental/spiritual wellness. I spend alot of time watching media when I'm not working so I'd love a good media/sound system. Finally, I am an emerging senior (61) but active. **SEND QUOTES VIA EMAIL ONLY...I WILL EXTEND CALLS BASED ON QUOTES RECEIVED** Thank you

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. I would then need someone who can refine the design so that it can match the standards of a good Air BNB.
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
