How much does an architect cost in South Africa?
The South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP) publishes "standard rates" based on a price per square meter when using a building cost of R12 500 per m².
Hi - I currently have a cottage which was a previously converted garage that was already added onto. I want to now remodel this. It is along side another small bedroom (domestic quarter) which I want to breakthrough. The space will contain a small living room open planned with a bedroom and then the domestic quarters broken open to become a new bathroom. I would like this drawn up so I can get building / renovation costs.
Modern contemporary 4 bedroom house for family with kids. Property is on river bank overlooking estuary to South. Access road on Nortern side. Property slopes by 3m from road down to riverside. Cosy with entartainment space and maximum views of river. Double garage with storage space. Needs to comply with Admiral Island achitectural guidelines.
Interior remodel, removable on non load supporting walls to create open plan living. Extension to create more space, extend roof and or add awnings to create outdoor living space, add a pool, add a fire pit, add a deck, add a built in braai pizza oven/ outdoor kitchen and plan retaining walls. I require assistance in the planning, layout and drawings for the build project to be done in stages as and when finances are available.
This is a bit of a mixed request. We have a lot of space, but I am not sure how to keep it well organised. I have a 3 and 5 year old, so the house needs to be functional and safe, with no frills that I am unable to maintain. The kids spend most of their time indoors, as outside is not adequate for unsupervised play. We require set up of office space (for work from home), some organisation of my hobby & craft space, storage space and my kids' bedrooms. We also have a space which the previous owner used as a hair salon, which we are wanting to turn into a gym space (child friendly), however this section of the house will require some building work, as it is not properly waterproofed. There would also be some miscellaneous maintenance work required.

We have bought a newly renovated stand alone house in Craighall. it has 4 bedrooms, two lounges and a dining room. My wishes: to have the home professionally decorated into a stylish, but comfortable home. It needs to be homely, but not basic. I generally like the traditional classic look but this house has modern elements and hence my need for assistance so that it doesn't look confused. The look needs to be sophisticated, but also functional because we have a toddler and family may still grow. Obviously it needs to be cost effective. Expectations: Never having used the services of interior design before, I am expecting collaboration on ideas, advise and sourcing right through to seeing to delivery and staging of the furniture and pieces. Regards

I am not sure on the sqm, but I want to build bachelor flats. Looking at it from outside or far, it should look like one house but in actual fact, it should be 3-4 completely separate bachelor flats that share walls. I am not talking about a typical row of flats, it should look like house from the outside or at least far. I have attached a picture of how i would like each of the flats to look like but there is no picture of how it should look like on the outside. I want modern finishes but not too luxurious, the aim is to rent it out to semi-professionals. Key things are clear separation between areas like bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen, there should be enough room for a double size bed, 4 seat L couch, TV, built in bedroom and kitchen cupboards, sink, washing machine, fridge, kitchen table etc. Keep in mind its a bachelor not a 1 bedroom. The aim is to build at least 4* 3-4 bachelor flats so in total i need about 12-16 flats but obviously i want to start with one unit. Each flat must have its own shower&toilet, small geyser, electrical and water meter and an undercover parking. Roof can be sink. Windows and doors plain other finishes can be discussed in future. My key purpose at the moment is a estimate quotation and possible designs or suggestions.
Ground floor 6x12m- double garage 1st floor 6x12m - toilet, kitchen, laundry, dinning, living, stoep with built-in braai, pool 2nd floor 6x6m - loft 2 bedroom 2 ensuite bathroom bath and shower 3rd and 4th floor is duplicate of 1 and 2 - Open plan, glass, steel, wood, concrete, solar and gas
I’m looking for someone who can understand small spaces and maximize the use of it. Looking for simple, exquisite, modern And functional design. Have a small space so need it to be homely and practical and have the necessities. It’s currently a bachelor pad and need it to be more livable since we’re now spending more time at home.
