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.
We are looking at building a loft apartment above the garage as well as renovating the interior of the main house. The main house renovation will include interior redesign of bathrooms and a kitchen as well as extending the kitchen to incorporate the courtyard. We are looking for an architect to do a site visit and advise us as best they can on what is possible and on what might not be.
Architectural guidelines in place due to small complex. I will send the guidelines upon request.
I want to cover my balcony with safety glass.
Six rooms, average size is 3x3m per room
I need to consult with an architect quite urgently.
