3 Bedroom House Plans in Pretoria

Three bedroom homes make up most of the new family houses drawn in Pretoria, from suburban stands to extensions on township plots. Draughtspersons in Gauteng know the local building lines, coverage limits and submission steps, and can fit a layout to the way your stand lies.

The main 3 bedroom house plans page explains the drawings, the standards and the costs in more detail.

House designs in Pretoria: local notes

Mooikloof, Moreleta Park and Garsfontein buyers lean towards modern double storey homes with a braai area and flat roofs behind parapets. In Mamelodi East and Soshanguve, three-bedroom houses are usually built in stages on 300 to 500 square metre stands, starting with two rooms. Families in Villieria and Rietondale ask for granny flats that suit a retired parent, so check whether Tshwane's rules allow a second dwelling.

Homes and buildings in Pretoria

Pretoria has a different rhythm from Johannesburg: jacaranda streets, red-brick Victorian and Art Deco houses, and a ring of newer estates. Older suburbs such as Arcadia, Sunnyside, Brooklyn, Waterkloof and Muckleneuk hold buildings that may fall under heritage rules, while Hatfield and Sunnyside have student flats and rental blocks. To the east, Mooikloof and Faerie Glen are filling with modern double storey homes, and in the north Mamelodi, Soshanguve and Ga-Rankuwa see families extend their houses and add backyard rooms. Hills and rocky outcrops affect slopes, and the Apies River floods in places. Draughtspersons, technologists and architects across the city quote directly.

Local tips for Pretoria

Plans for Pretoria are mostly drawn like this: architects in Brooklyn and Waterkloof, draughtspersons across the east and north. The requests that come up most: heritage-area alterations, student flats near Hatfield and Mooikloof family homes. When you ask for quotes, ask if your old house sits in a heritage area before you plan alterations.

Around Pretoria the largest group asking is families building a new house, which usually means the family house on a suburban or estate stand, with a garage and a covered patio. Expect sACAP-registered, drawn to SANS 10400 as the baseline, and keep in mind: rocky hills and clay in places, floodplain along the Apies: ask about site levels.

What to include in your request

  • The erf number, stand size and any title deed limits
  • Your layout preference: linear, L-shape or courtyard
  • En-suite, family bathroom, scullery and garage wishes
  • Whether there is an existing house on the stand
  • Whether the plans must be submitted to council
