Frequently asked questions
-
At what point in my project should I involve an architect?
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.
-
What do I need before I start building a house?
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.
-
What services does an architect offer?
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.

We are in the process of designing a home that is to be built in a wildlife estate in Hoedspruit, Limpopo. Key design features include: - Single story, between and sqm, 3 bedrooms with a double garage. - 35 degree Croma deck roofing. - Off-grid infrastructure with % solar power, Eskom power as back-up. - Underground grey water tank (Showers, basins excluding kitchen and washing machine water outlet). - French drain self managed sewer system, given that the estate does not accommodate for municipal sewage infrastructure. We have a proposed layout in mind with basic floor sketches available, which should make the architecture design phase of this initiative reasonably quick and easy.
Extension or Remodel
I just bought a house and the current kitchen is too small and is upstairs close to bedrooms. There was a room that I believe was initially a garage which I would like to turn into a new kitchen but it's 10m length but only 3m width and now am not sure if this kitchen will be nice there. Again I would like to make additions. 2 bedrooms and living room, preferably a double storey add-on. Finally this house has a pool in front yard and I would like a privacy wall that will look nice .
