When do I need a building permit in South Africa?
In South Africa, building applications for the construction of property and land use are highly regulated.
We would like to extend or increase the room sizes of the current house. For example, increase the bathroom space to allow for a shower. Increase the lounge and kitchen space as well. We have approved as-built drawings and require new layouts for municipal approval. The date of the house renovations is not yet confirmed.
I have 8 completed garages and want plans to convert 4 or 5 garages into home and other 3 or 4 stays garages. The plans i currently have shows it halved into 2 homes and plans are not approved by previous architect. I purchased it in this manner. I need to still activate electricity and water but only until plans are approved.
Good Day - I am looking to do some internal changes in the house. I would like to open up the inside walls between the family room, dining room and kitchen. We need to understand which walls can be removed and which can't. From the plans we are not able to identify - therefore I am requesting quotes to see what new plans (if needed) would cost and how best to tackle this project. Thanks
