Thanks for your help! All five architects that you recommended contacted me in 1 - 2 days after my request, I was really surprised by their response. I'm very satisfied with selected architect, he found some very good solutions for my project. I'll definitely use your site again!
It's not easy to find a good architect for reasonable price. Thanks to your site, I found exactly who I was looking for :) Mr Wilson completed his job professionally, all documentation went through smoothly. We already agreed that he'd also prepare an interior design project for me, before we move into our new house.
My husband and I hired Laura, because she had the best references and presented the best quote. And we're very glad to have found her among your recommended architects, she's a warm person and also a true professional. She visited our home several times, presented more than 5 versions of interior design project and had a lot of great ideas and solutions. Laura, thanks again for your great work! Also a big thank you to procompare team.
You should contact an architect as soon as you decide on a project. An architect will present you with additional options, will help you to finalize the details and place your project into the chosen environment.
Before starting to build a house, you must have: a site plan, layout drawings, a fire installation drawing, drainage installation drawings, particulars of any existing building or structure that is going to be demolished (and you need to state how it will be demolished), and any other plans and particulars that your local authority requires.
An architect will either do plans only, or plans with project management. This means he will stay with you and help you throughout the building process.

Good day. I would like a cost estimate for architectural plans to construct 9 apartments on a sqm plot. There is a sqm house currently on the erf which will form the basement 7 bay parking area, laundry room and "club house" with 4x70sqm (2bedr) apartments on 1st floor, 2xsqm (3bedr) and 2x60sqm (1bedr) apartments on 2nd floor and sqm (4bedr) "penthouse" on 3rd floor. Thanks and regards, Shirlette
I wish to build a flat roof double-storey house with two garages, 5 bedrooms (two of them en-suite), two-room outside house (with toilet), a lapa and a swimming pool. The shape of the stand is not rectangular as it can be seen on the attachment (stand bordered in green line), so some architectural creativity is needed.
Hi, The house is already built, and I have the approved plans with me. The house currently is square meters. There are 3 balconies, roughly totalling 18 square meters. Optionally, I want to add to the plan a room above my garage. The garage has a roof over it and is 36 square meters. I can discuss this further with the architect. I require the plan to be modified as above, approval with the home owners association board in my estate, and then approval at the deeds office. I need the fee for this service, and how long this process will take. Also aware that professionals might not edit someone elses work. So advice how we will go about.
I have bought a low-end market property in PE and wish to sub divide the property and build 2 small townhouses on the property. the aprrox size is sqm. Water, electricity and sewage already in place. Looking for a rough estimate of the costs. Via WhatsApp only. Currently out of the country in Zambia. Would need the architects to run point and supervise the whole project as well!
You can contact my wife anytime or you can contact me via email, as I said I am stuck abroad due to the current Covid pandemic. The request is quite simple: We have an old house in Durban North that we have renovated and now we want to do the following works: Carport for the granny flat. This actually already installed but not on the original house plans Veranda shelter by the pool. This actually already installed but not on the original house plans boundary wall is the old precast fence panels that we want to clad with concrete. Not sure if this requires planning permission Install 2 shipping containers, which will be converted into a Gym/storage, carport and workshop area. The attached simple drawings I have prepared will explain the above: a) Site Plan: this will show what is the actual as of today and points 1&2 b) Container Design 3: Is the top view of point 4 c) Container Design 3 Roof: Is the side views and roof design of point 4. So our request is we want an Architect to advise costs for making the plans and getting planning permission approval.

I am looking to remodel our main bedroom by breaking the wall between the main bathroom and the maid quarters, which means the bathroom will move into the main quarters. I am going to need an architect to give advise. Also need to build a wall in the front of the house. 40 meter in length and 3 meters in height
We already have and guy who can draft for us, the only issue is that he doesn't have a SACAP number witch obviously will cause problems for when we want to send to council. So we want a architect to basically sign of our existing plans if possible to send to council. We are also aware that, that could also not sit well with other architects but since we have a tight budget, we can afford the guy drawing the plans for us Will have to ask the drafter for the exact amount but I think it's about the 8 spare meters or less
