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.

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
