When do I need a building permit in South Africa?
In South Africa, building applications for the construction of property and land use are highly regulated.
We are first time home owners and need to get quotes to build our house. The ERF is in Village on sea (Estate in Mossel Bay). We would like the house to have an industrial finish inside with 50% of the walls plastered and painted,25% just plastered and sealed and the other 25% exposed brick(Bagging). The doors and windows we would like to be Charcoal Aluminum. Wooden Front door and White doors inside. The outside we would like to be plastered and painted and the natural stone work indicated on the plan we would like to be just exposed brick. The roof needs to have gutters to comply with the estates rules.
We have a current patio area but it is not ideal for a proper patio set and braai. We would like a complete patio with a built in braai section. We need a basin and storage space for wood ect. The patio will be divided in 2 areas; a patio set area to seat 6-8 people and then the braai area which can accommodate 4-6 people. The roof needs to be closed with a wooden finish. I am attaching current images of the patio as well as pinterest images as samples.
We want to build a house that is a double story due to space confinement. We would like to possibly have 3 bedrooms with one being a master bedroom with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom (maybe that could be the top bedroom because that will give more space for all of this). The middle, where everyone enters will be the open plan living room with a dining area and tv room. And the bottom (underground) could be the other two bedrooms and a shared bathroom. We'd also like the inclusion of a balcony for the main bedroom. I will be waiting for your phone call(s) Thank you
New contemporary like house with 3 bedrooms all ensuite, one more downstairs, double story with bedroom balconies to maximise the view and lots of natural light, double garage.

I would like to install reclaimed teak parquet flooring in 3 bedrooms. The existing carpets need to be removed and carted away. The reclaimed parquet flooring need to be cleaned and to be re-assembled before they can be laid. The parquet flooring is the small version. Request for quotations and how long it will take is essential.
I own a first floor unit in an apartment block on Long Street and would like to have a balcony erected from the unit and across the first floor. I need plans to be drawn up and submitted to the CoCT. The current building plans at the CoCT are not very detailed nor up to date. I will be waiting for your response. Than you
An existing house has 3 small bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a small kitchen and a lounge. We need to extend all 3 bedrooms, kitchen and lounge, add a dining room, a study, a laundry room, a small patio/Braai area and a double garage. The size of the house should at least be - square meters. Or build a new house on another piece of land: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, lounge, dining, kitchen, study, laundry room, Patio/Braai area and a double garage. The size of the house should at least be to square meters. I really need a professional's advice here Please contact me via email, telephonically as well as Whatsapp I am not choosy. Thank you
I would like to get a quote for building a townhouse that has 3 bedrooms ( the master bedroom with an ensuite), 1 bathroom, an open plan kitchen and a dining area.

I am the manager at a retail store that is about meters square, the front door entrance needs to have an alarm installed and the back door emergency as well. I also need 2 panic buttons so that when the intruders attack us we press the button and the alarm goes off. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you
The house is already constructed. There is no finishing, no tiling, no ceiling, no electrical wiring its basically empty it's just an empty box. There is a double garage door, but there is no motor, no windows no doors, no painting, and no plumbing. I need a building company to do the finishing. Please feel free to contact me for more info. Thank you
