2 Bedroom House Plans in Midrand

What to know locally in Midrand

Carlswald and Kyalami owners often choose modern flat roof homes with large glass and a covered terrace, which means the energy rules for glazing must be checked on the plans. In Noordwyk and Vorna Valley, owners add a granny flat for a parent or tenant, and in Ivory Park a small house grows room by room. Think about which wing you will build second before the first sketch.

Homes and buildings in Midrand

Midrand sits halfway between the two big cities and grows fast along the N1 and the M1 corridor. Waterfall and Kyalami Hills hold large lifestyle estates, with strict design rules and aesthetic committees, while Vorna Valley, Halfway House and Noordwyk have older family homes and townhouse complexes. Ivory Park and Tembisa feed the demand for extension plans and backyard rooms, and the business parks along Old Pretoria Road need warehouse and office layouts. Many Midrand stands are small, so double storey plans are common. Kyalami and parts of Glen Austin have rocky or clay ground. Local draughtspersons, technologists and architects draw the plans and quote you directly.

The requests we see from Midrand usually come from:

• Developers and builders: a repeatable two bedroom unit for a row of low cost houses or semi-detached pairs
• Families building a new house: a first home on a modest stand, drawn small and ready for a third bedroom later
• 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
• Owners adding or changing rooms: an old two-roomed house reworked with a proper bathroom and an open-plan living area
• Estate agents, sellers and landlords: approved plans for a small house about to be sold, or a clear layout for the listing
• Churches, schools and crèches: a two bedroom caretaker's or minister's house beside a church or school

Local tips for Midrand

Popular here: warehouse and office layouts, lifestyle estate homes and complexes of townhouses. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask which municipal region your stand falls under before choosing a drawer. Who does the work: architects near Waterfall and Carlswald, draughtspersons in Halfway House and Noordwyk.

Around Midrand the largest group asking is developers and builders, which usually means a repeatable two bedroom unit for a row of low cost houses or semi-detached pairs. Expect sACAP-registered, drawn to SANS 10400 as the baseline, and keep in mind: clay and rock in Kyalami and Glen Austin: expect an engineer's foundation design.

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
