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.
Extension of 1 bedroom, living area, bathroom, kitchen remodeling, study room or office and a double garage Extension of existing 3 bedrooms
To add a double garage on property
Modern but simple two bedroom, open plan with a bathroom 40sqm apartment with another directly above it. For rental purposes...so it should be simple and not expensive to build but attractive.
I need extra garage space on the property. There is a single garage at this moment, and I wish to extend the front and the back. The Front will be more or less 2m, and the space will be extended in an L shape with folding stacking doors at the end to facilitate a boat to move through the doors. The base of the "L" will be used as a workshop. Furthermore, I wish to add a braai space with a pizza oven in the opposite corner of the property.
We have a plot of approx m2 and want to build three similar duplex homes of around m2 each on the plot. Three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, open plan kitchen, lounge, dining room, braai room and double garage. I would like a ballpark quote from an architect to design the homes and submit plans.
I need to do some remodelling on the outside of my house, I need to close up a space between my garage and home and require plans.
I want to build a 3 bedroom house.
I would like to move my existing boundary wall approximately 4.5m closer to the street (to the boundary of my erf) to enlarge the inside yard space. I have existing building plans (hard copy and scanned version - attached), but the quality is not great and the drawings are quite old. I would like to apply at the municipality to move my existing wall to the proposed position, but not sure if this can be done by indicating it on the old building plans, or if new plans need to be drawn up. I would like to request a quote, either way. My erf is approximately m2. The main building, a 3 bedroom townhouse is approximately 85m2. The second building is approximately 60m2, a double garage and small living quarters.
