Our cooperation with the architectural firm we found on your site was more than excellent. Great ideas, a lot of experience, professional communication... The final project looks fantastic and we can't wait to start building our dream house :)
We needed an architecture company to design plans for extension to our existing home. Your website was a great tool - the quotes we received from local architecture firms were all good, they also sent us their references. The project was finished in time. Thanks for you help.
We hired Mrs Larring for the renovation of our row home in Johannesburg after interviewing several other local architecture firms. We couldn't have chosen better! We can only recommend this architect, and also your website for helping us find her!
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.

Convert the single story into a double. Possibly extend outward as my house is on a corner. Need to get costs estimates so that I can plan effectively.
