How to choose the right architect for your house plans?
This four-step process should help you find the right architect for the job of drawing house plans.
We really want someone to bring our ideas to reality. We recently bought a space and completely broke it down and had it redone so we now have a 4 bedroom space. Now we need help with designing, bathrooms, kitchen, lounge, literally everything. We have ideas but need help putting it all together. We need someone who can assist with where to put what, how and where to put cupboards. Basically we just need to know what works and what won't.
I want to build a log house in already established residential property. I am building a very simple cottage at the back of my daughter's yard and need some assistance. I also need some advice as my daughter no longer has the plans of her home, I therefore need someone to advise me with regards to the regulations and steps forward. I am currently in Port Elizabeth but am looking to build in Port Shepstone.
I want to extend the kitchen. I also want to add a bathroom and turn my bedroom into a en-suite. In fact, I actually want to extend every room of the home because the house is quite small. I live in a residential complex and I am not sure about all of the rules regarding extensions but I am hoping that I am able to do all of the things to the home that I am looking for.

We had a builder who was building but then disappeared with our house plans and it turns out that he did a poor job with the building as well. We need an architect to help us with the redrawing of plans. We are planning to extend the front of the house and turning the front of the house into a two story by adding a bedroom and a lounge to the top part.
I need to remodel a small 48sqm home’s interior layout by removing a wall to create an open-plan kitchen-living area, and redoing the kitchen and bathroom. I also need to replace the roof (currently asbestos), ceiling, windows and doors, and finishes. I also want to add a front stoep with braai. Please would you let me know if you can assist.
Our two story house's living space is the top floor...bedrooms are bottom floor. Its basically the "stoep-area" above our garage that i want to rebuild into a indoor braai area...as well as a room. So the entire i think 20sqm area of the stoep will be converted into a 8 sq room and indoor braairoom. Braairoom 12sqm approx.
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.
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.
