New SANS 10400 Building Regulations:

On 1 July 2011, the New Building Regulations came into effect, although some local authorities have yet to begin the enforcement of these new regulations. Plandeluxe.com has undertaken to revise all building plans for compliance. However, it is very important to note the following:

Building plans do not allow for, nor indicate cavity walls that are necessary for coastal areas particularly in Southern Cape and die West.
Regulation 1(g) requires inspection of the building work by a competent person from time to time, and issuance of a certificate upon project completion. This regulation?s application may vary from one Local Authority to another and it is unclear whether it will be enforced strictly on construction work for a single dwelling. SACAP registered professionals may be appointed from the Plandeluxe.com network to carry out this service where required by the Local Authority. The cost for this service would be agreed upon directly with the professional, as they are independent from Plandeluxe.com.
Home owners are strongly advised to approach their local authority and discuss the plans? approval and construction processes before they order a plan.
com undertakes to complete the documentation required from the architect with each new submission. However, please note that if an engineer form is needed, you will have to hire a local engineer to perform this task.

The new SANS 10400 Building Regulations currently require not only a registered architect for the certification of building plans for approval at any local authority, but also for the regular inspection of the building work during construction and upon completion, and certification of compliance with SANS 10400. Plandeluxe.com will supply and certify your building plans for approval, but do not offer services for the certification of compliance of the building work. Home owners will have to appoint a local SACAP registered professional to perform this task at the own cost of the owner. Plandeluxe can provide a list of professionals in the area where the house is to be built whom the owner may contact in this regard.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The construction, performance and validity of these Terms and Conditions are governed by the Laws of the Republic of South Africa and all parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the South African Courts in the event of a legal proceeding arising from any dispute.
