How much does an architect cost in South Africa?
The South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP) publishes "standard rates" based on a price per square meter when using a building cost of R12 500 per m².
I need a plan for a house including a Cinder block fence around it. My plot is on a slope, so I need some sort of a feature along the fence for heavy rain water to be redirected away from the fence. I would like the house to be a large Open plan structure. Only one large dormitory style bedroom for 6 three-quarter beds along the opposite walls And a sliding door leading onto the patio. I would like 2 bathrooms against the walls opposite each other. An L shaped kitchen and island in the left hand corner and a fireplace in the right hand corner as you come in the front door of the house.
3 bedrooms house plan
Currently I have a sketch that I made and laid the foundation according to the floor all I need is planning with the roof and maybe shifting the rooms and everything.
Happy to discuss directly ... 1. I have a bricked loft apartment 2. 61sqm so i need to maximize space 3. Its a heritage building so limited to interior only ..
I am not sure about the exact square meters, need someone to come check physically and advise.
The house has already been built, I just need someone to draw an updated plan and submit it to council for approval.
I already have drawn up plans, that has been rejected twice by council. Few changes to be made which current architect did not make on my request. Requirements, open ceiling for living area and kitchen, no scullery. No double front door, but a swivel door. No windows where the fireplace is except for patio doors. No down lighters, single lights in rooms and bathrooms, and 3 lights throughout kitchen and living area (I have photos of what I want).
I wish the architect to see the plan of the existing house, ERF size and our intended changes to be made.
It is quite a small piece of land and it will be a small house. I am looking at approx. 3 bedrooms.
