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 already have an idea of what i want, i have sketched it on paper, i just need a building plan to hand to the municipality. There are still some kinks to be sorted out. The idea of the building is to provide a double-story low-income home that can be rented out for about R-R. I am still unsure of whether I should use wood to complete the second story or also bricks. It is a large stand and once i have everything done i will build about 6 of these units.
Good day, I have a vacant land property and need to build a structure so that it is regarded a residential property. The COJ municipality advised that a small structure would be adequate. As such I need services for: 1. Plans to build a small room (3x 3) and a toilet. 2. Get the plans approved at the municipality. Regards,

Hi Could you please send us a quote for the below: Please see house plans attached Please note the porch ( little roof at front door) on the front of the house we never built and also not the bay window in the one bedroom. Our plan is to add a pool in the backyard and we would also like to add a living room for our kids, there bedrooms are bedroom 1 and guestroom. They each have their own bathroom that we thought we could move, as its not a nice spot for the bathrooms. We would also like to modernize the outside of our house, the front, and the back, the house needs to be repainted. My husband is worried about the levelling of the pool, also we stay on a farm so our house plans are not at the town council, I don’t even think it exist in Ladismith as our Municipality is out of action. Our plan is to start building in April. Look forward to hearing from you
We want to extend our double garage by 1.5 meters and potentially modify the roof from being flat to being pitched, also the current garage door needs to be moved to another location on the pre-existing part of the garage wall. Our goal is to be able to park both our vehicles in the garage as well as have additional space for working. The current garage area is 6.5 x 6.5 m and has 2 seperate motorised doors. A fire safe door into the home (to be moved) and a back door to the side of the home (outward leading door).
