Questions

Good to know before you start

Can I build straight from a plan I buy?

Not in South Africa. Your municipality needs a site plan for your specific stand and drawings signed by a SACAP-registered professional before it will approve them. Our submission pack takes care of this, or you can use your own architect.

Who does the modification work?

Usually the designer who drew the plan, because they know it best. If they are not available, a partner SACAP professional does the work.

How long does council approval take?

Municipalities typically decide within 30 working days for buildings under 500 m² and 60 working days for larger ones, once a complete submission has been accepted. Approved plans usually lapse if building has not started within 12 months.

Do you design homes from scratch or alter existing houses?

No. We work with plans from our catalogue. For a custom design or alterations to an existing home, speak to a local architect.
