Homes and buildings in Brits
Brits is an irrigation town on the Crocodile River, where citrus orchards, vegetables, small factories and Hartbeespoort Dam shape what gets built. Older houses in Damonsville and the town centre are being extended, and farm owners along the Magalies canal ask for homesteads and worker housing. Letlhabile, Mothutlung and Oukasie are growing with RDP houses, rooms to let and spaza shops. Around Hartbeespoort and Schoemansville, steep stands hold weekend homes and lifestyle estates with strict design guidelines. Clay and dolomite in some parts mean that the foundation question comes up often.

- Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: drawings of a farmhouse and outbuildings, many built over the years without approval
- Families building a new house: measured drawings of the family house when no approved plans can be found
- Shops, offices and restaurants: measured drawings of a leased shop or workshop for the landlord or an occupancy approval
- Owners adding or changing rooms: an accurate record of the walls and roof before knocking down or adding on
- Developers and builders: measured drawings of a purchased building before conversion or subdivision
- Churches, schools and crèches: records of an older church hall or school building before repairs or a new wing
- Rental and granny flat investors: drawings of backyard rooms and extra units so rental income is above board
