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.
Orientation of the house - sunlight and heat Main bedroom * Apart from other rooms in one * Closest and dressing area * Bathroom * Walk in shower * Dual sinks * Tub 3 other bedrooms * 2 room Bathrooms? Main bathroom * walk in shower wheel chair accessible Kitchen Scullery and laundry Dining area Living room area Garage and workshop space * 4 car garage? Guest toilet Helpers quarters Spaces important to us * Gym * Study * Yoga, meditate, reading * Entertainment space (possibly separate from home) * Table tennis * Pool table * Fire pit Home should be understated. Entertainment space and cottage will probably be attended to after main home is built.
I'd like to build a house with a big dining area, large kitchen and one room on the ground flour. Four rooms at the second floor and a rooftop with some sort of covering for shade. Each room should have its own bathroom with basin with shower head. I have a picture that I'd like the house to look similar to, will attach. House should be more than square meters with spaceous rooms. Paving leading to driveway and grass and trees all over the yard. Vacant land/Plot is square meters.
This is a RDP house and I bought it through the bank, now I am experiencing dampness, mold on the walls and some walls have cracks, the floor is also having dampness that results to the cracking of tiles. I am not sure if it's the right move to remodel the existing structure as to try and fix/cover the damaged areas

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.
Good day. There is a few things we want to do. 1. Remove old car port and build new one. 2. Break down braai area and build indoor braai with chimney. 3. Extend car port to backyard adding windows and sliding door, and back door. 4. Add lighting. 5. Move outdoor water pipe to the front. 6. Remove paving and add tiles. 7. Remove old artificial grass and add new one. 8. Break down pillar. That's what I recall.
