Do I need an architect if I want to build a house in South Africa?
A professional that is registered with the South African Council for the Architectural Profession must submit the building plans before extending, renovating or building a home.
I'm considering the possibility of adding a 2nd story to my house. Would like a similar layout to the ground floor with the exception of a kitchen on the top floor and using that extra space for a outside balcony section. House 60sqm and would want the top floor to consist of 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, with a open space for and entertainment area and balcony area. I attached the original plans for the house.

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.
