Germiston notes on house designs

On the older suburban stands, double storey additions and new two-bedroom cottages behind the main house are common. In Primrose and Elsburg, small families look for compact three-bedroom plans that fit narrow, deep stands with a side driveway. Ask the designer to check the building line along the street, because many Germiston roads were widened after the original houses went up.

Homes and buildings in Germiston

Germiston is an old railway and industrial town on the East Rand, with Victorian-era brick houses and tin roofs in Georgetown and Primrose, leafy larger stands in Dinwiddie and Lambton, and the upmarket edge of Bedfordview just north. Owners here tend to renovate rather than start again: pressed-ceiling cottages get new kitchens, garages become offices, and big erven are cut in two for a second house. Around the lake and along Rand Airport Road, workshops and small factories need layouts for fit-outs. Many buildings are old enough that a heritage check may be worth asking about.

Who asks for 2 bedroom house plans around Germiston, most often first:

• Owners adding or changing rooms: an old two-roomed house reworked with a proper bathroom and an open-plan living area
• Shops, offices and restaurants: staff housing for a small business, drawn as compact two bedroom units
• Families building a new house: a first home on a modest stand, drawn small and ready for a third bedroom later
• 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
• 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 Germiston

Most asked for in Germiston: renovations of older houses, workshop and warehouse fit-outs, stand subdivisions. Who draws them: draughtspersons across the suburbs, architects in Bedfordview and Germiston CBD. A useful tip: ask if a house older than 60 years in Georgetown or Primrose needs a heritage check.

Around Germiston the largest group asking is owners adding or changing rooms, which usually means an old two-roomed house reworked with a proper bathroom and an open-plan living area. Expect sACAP-registered, drawn to SANS 10400 as the baseline, and keep in mind: old mine ground and fill near the rail yards: ask whether an engineer should check it.

• 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
