Getting three draughtspersons to look at your stand in Gauteng takes calls and weeks. Send one request instead, with the rooms, the stand and what you have now, and we pass it to draughtspersons and architects who work in towns and cities across Gauteng.
2 Bedroom House Plans in Gauteng
In Gauteng, a two bedroom house is a common first build for young families and a popular size for retirement cottages and rental units. Draughtspersons working in Gauteng can fit the layout to your stand, check the local building lines and submit the drawings to the municipality for you.

What to know locally in Gauteng
Stand sizes decide most house designs here. Newer Midrand and Centurion estates often have small stands and tight coverage, which pushes families toward double storeys, while Randburg, Edenvale and Boksburg still have 1,000 square metre stands that suit single-storey three and four bedroom homes with a pool and braai area. In Soweto and Ekurhuleni townships, a main house with a rentable backyard room is a common request.
Homes and buildings in Gauteng
Gauteng is where most South African plan requests start: older Johannesburg suburbs such as Linden, Parkhurst and Bedfordview where big stands are being subdivided, Pretoria's Waterkloof and Brooklyn, and security-minded estates around Midrand, Centurion and Fourways with strict design guidelines. Townships like Soweto, Tembisa, Mamelodi and Katlehong see steady extensions and backyard rooms on small stands. Highveld thunderstorms, expansive clay and dolomite in parts of the West Rand and Centurion mean engineers and geotechnical reports often come into the picture. Draughtspersons work in nearly every suburb, while architects cluster in Rosebank, Sandton and Hatfield for larger or more complex jobs.
The requests we see from Gauteng usually come from:
- Families building a new house: a first home on a modest stand, drawn small and ready for a third bedroom later
- Owners adding or changing rooms: an old two-roomed house reworked with a proper bathroom and an open-plan living area
- Developers and builders: a repeatable two bedroom unit for a row of low cost houses or semi-detached pairs
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: approved plans for a small house about to be sold, or a clear layout for the listing
- Shops, offices and restaurants: staff housing for a small business, drawn as compact two bedroom units
- Rental and granny flat investors: two bedroom rental units on one erf, with separate entrances and meters
- Churches, schools and crèches: a two bedroom caretaker's or minister's house beside a church or school
Local tips for Gauteng
Popular here: double storeys, backyard rental rooms, as-built plans for transfer and estate homes. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask which metro office your stand falls under before the draughtsperson starts. Who does the work: draughtspersons in every suburb, architects in Rosebank, Sandton, Hatfield and Menlyn.
Jobs range from about 55 to 90 m² under the roof. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for a first home on a modest stand, drawn small and ready for a third bedroom later. One local point to raise: highveld clay and dolomite in places: ask if a geotechnical report is needed.
What to include in your request
- The stand size, erf number and street address
- One bathroom or two, open-plan or closed kitchen
- Whether you want to add a third bedroom later
- Your budget and roof type, such as IBR sheeting
- Whether the drawings must go to council
