Is it cheaper to build or buy a house in South Africa in 2025?
The short answer is that it is cheaper to buy an existing house in South Africa but every year less so.
We want to change the house structure in the most cost effective way. We want to demolish two existing bedrooms and add two new ones and we need an architect to draw these changes onto new house plans. We also need some advice on what is possible and what is not.

I bought a property from sellers and essentially bought 4 walls and a roof because the building was gutted. When I bought it, there were some issues with the roof and I needed to fix that. The original plans for the building were drawn by a draughtsman and I am now being told that those plans are no longer sufficient and they need to be redone by an accredited architect.
I needs an H shaped farm style design. The house must have a big veranda and must have a left wing and right wing. There needs to be a kitchen, dining room, bedrooms in the left wing. The right wing needs to have my main bedroom which will be an en suite and it has to have a kitchenette as well. Open plan. The main idea is that I am able to have my own space at one side of the house if I wish to have privacy.
I need a quotation of square meter solar panels manufacturing plant , 10 square meter production area, m2, laboratory, m2 office area, Canteen m2 , the total size of the area with parking lot and garden is m2. This property is for manufacturing purposes and needs an architect who is well versed with this scope of work.
