Centurion notes on plans & approvals
Almost every estate in Centurion, from Midstream to Zwartkop, asks for plans to pass its design review before the City of Tshwane sees them, so build that step into your timeline. On dolomite land, the municipality may demand a stability investigation before approving foundations, and the engineer then sets the footing type. Ask what the estate's guidelines say about roof colour, boundary walls and coverage.
Homes and buildings in Centurion
Centurion lies between Johannesburg and Pretoria, and its housing is dominated by estates and sectional title complexes. Heritage Hill, Irene Farm Villages, Midstream and Zwartkop have design guidelines and an aesthetics committee, so plans often go to the estate before the municipality. Older Lyttelton Manor, Eldoraigne and Wierda Park have family homes on 800 to 1,000 square metre stands, and Olievenhoutbosch and Laudium see extensions and backyard rooms. Dolomite underlies large parts of Centurion, so a geotechnical report is often needed in some areas. Buyers usually want double storey homes with a patio, and plans come from local draughtspersons, technologists and architects.
The requests we see from Centurion usually come from:
- Families building a new house: a designed house that suits the slope, the sun and the family, with someone watching the build
- Developers and builders: a design team lead for a townhouse cluster or small estate, from concept through to council
- Owners adding or changing rooms: a sensitive redesign of an older house, including heritage questions and a clear new layout
- Rental and granny flat investors: a multi-unit or student-housing design that fits the zoning and gets the most from the stand
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: an architect's drawings or advice to unlock the value in a stand or an older property
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a designed shop, restaurant or office that works for customers, staff and the fire rules
- Churches, schools and crèches: a hall, church or school building designed for the congregation's needs and a fixed budget
Local tips for Centurion
Most asked for in Centurion: new estate homes with design review, townhouse complexes and extensions in Lyttelton. Who draws them: draughtspersons around Centurion CBD and Highveld, architects serving the estates. A useful tip: ask the estate for its design guidelines and whether review precedes council.
Jobs range from a single house to a multi-unit block. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for a designed house that suits the slope, the sun and the family, with someone watching the build. One local point to raise: dolomite in places: sinkhole stability and a geotechnical report may be required.
What to include in your request
- The suburb, erf number and stand size
- A budget for the finished building
- Rooms, lifestyle and houses you admire
- Any slope, view, heritage or estate rules
- Which stages you want the architect to do
A rough idea of the rooms is enough: the brief on this page turns it into a block plan and a floor area.
