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.
We are looking to renovate and redesign our home. Ideally we want a designer to source and execute the interior design to suit our needs and budget.
Ground floor plan. 6 bedrooms , 3 sharing, 3 en-suites with own sliding doors. Main b/r door facing main entrance/ hall, guest toilet. Open plan tv room and kitchen, scullery next laundry, dinning room and lounge with sliding and windows, double garage with entrance to kitchen, main b/r with own patio sharing with tv patio. Dimensions is 40mx 80m
I'd like to explore costs with helping me update my lounge/kitchen area: 1) Right paint colour for lounge / kitchen area. 2) How to lighten dark furniture in room by mixing - all furniture is dark 3) Artwork for lounge walls -make it feel more homely 4) Suggesting and updating lighting fixtures 5) Updating lounge curtains - advice on if I can modernise them without having to buy new ones? 6) Storage options
Approximately 15m to the back and 5m wide onto existing house. 3 rooms main with en suite and 1 bathroom.
We want to make our current garage building (separate from main house) a double story. We want to put in a wood floor because we think that a cement slap will be to expensive? Current building has a flat roof. Bathroom must be included.
4 rooms to be added each of these rooms are going to be like a studio apartment , these will have a small bathroom and kitchen and dressing room
20 Bachelor rooms , each room will have a en suite small kitchen . This will be a double story 10 rooms on top and 10 at he bottom .
