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.
I am planning to build a double-storey building that will be divided into two. The top floor has to be more like a normal house plan i.e. 2 bedrooms, dining area, open plan kitchen and bathroom. On the ground floor, I want to put my shop, so it has to have a store layout. I have an idea of what I want I will discuss it further with the appointed Architect
The ultimate goal is to make this home more spacious. Much bigger room in the living room/dining room and kitchen - still keep them open plan. Outdoor entertainment space on the side of the house, possibly next to the living room. Additional space in the bedroom and if possible bathrooms as well. And the addition of a double garage.
I would like to get a quote for building a 3 bedroom modernised house that has an open plan kitchen, dining area and a bathroom. Please feel free to contact me as soon as possible as I will be travelling next week I want to schedule an appointment with you so that when am back we will just shoot straight to the point. Thank you
Hi there, I would like to build a farmhouse I like Farmhouses or those designs from Simbithi estates. It must be a 4 bedroom double story with a nice lounge design and dining, open kitchen plan, double garage and outdoor pool. I will later share a picture. Please feel free to contact me for more info.
We would like to remodel and extend a 3 bedroom house into a 5-6 bedroom double story home. Upstairs we would like to have 3 bedrooms, all with en-suites and two with walk-in closets and a balcony as well as an additional lounging area also with a balcony. The current house has 3 bedrooms and an outbuilding, a veranda and a pool.
We would like to do as follows: First floor : Main bedroom with en suite and closet 2 bedrooms with ensuite Study room Private lounge Ground floor: Indoor swimming pool, Gym area Lounge Dinning 1 Bedroom 1 separate bathroom Kitchen Storeroom Scullery Visitors bedroom with en suite, Fireplace Double garage If possible, can the plan be similar or close to the house I have attached below. I do not know how it looks inside but we'd like to have a house like it.
I need a few changes to an existing plan 3 bedrooms 2bath open plan kitchen/living Veranda and single garage Cost per sq m on these changes and municipal approval? I need to know all of that because you not going to be designing the house plan from the scratch its just a few changes. Please feel free to contact me for more info.
I need plans for a house on 3 levels, bottom should be a double oversized garage with storage in the back and a large rumpus room to the right with a mudroom on this level. The middle floor is the kitchen, living, dining area. I want a butler’s pantry and a powder room and a large deck that will form a carport over the garage doors. Top floor I want 3 bedrooms and a study with ensuite and walk in robe to the main bedroom and a second bathroom. The land has a slight slope so the bottom floor we would like to build in to the ground slightly. A Rough drawing is attached.
