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.
This job comprises creating architect plans and the gaining of planning permission for the two alterations showing in the attachments. The first comprises the construction of two additional en suite bedrooms over a garage. The latter comprises the construction of a basement done underneath the existing patio with an office space underneath the current dwelling.
I have rough drawings of what I want to achieve. I also have contractors ready to do the work. I would like to determine if the changes are possible in terms of removing walls and creating on open plan living space. I would also like assistance with getting the building plans approved so construction can commence.
