Klerksdorp notes on drawings & surveys
Drawing work in Klerksdorp includes measured plans of older houses in the centre and Wilkoppies for sale, floor plans for shops and restaurants along Margaret Prinsloo Drive and the Matlosana Mall area, and school or church extensions in Jouberton. Mine residents and landlords in Stilfontein and Orkney order as-built sets for cottages and flats. Extensions are the most frequent job overall.
Homes and buildings in Klerksdorp
Klerksdorp is one of the oldest towns in the Transvaal and a gold-mining centre on the Schoonspruit, with big old stands in the centre and newer suburbs spreading outward. Doringkruin, Flamwood, Wilkoppies and Meiringspark hold family houses that owners extend with extra bedrooms and entertainment areas. Jouberton, Alabama and Kanana grow with RDP houses and backyard rooms, and Stilfontein and Orkney have mine houses with their own history. Some buildings in the old town are old enough that heritage permission may be needed. Dolomite and old mine workings mean ground conditions need attention.
The requests we see from Klerksdorp usually come from:
- Families building a new house: measured drawings of the family house when no approved plans can be found
- Owners adding or changing rooms: an accurate record of the walls and roof before knocking down or adding on
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: as-built plans so the sale can pass the bank and the conveyancer at transfer
- Rental and granny flat investors: drawings of backyard rooms and extra units so rental income is above board

- Churches, schools and crèches: records of an older church hall or school building before repairs or a new wing
- Developers and builders: measured drawings of a purchased building before conversion or subdivision
- Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: drawings of a farmhouse and outbuildings, many built over the years without approval
Local tips for Klerksdorp
Most asked for in Klerksdorp: extensions to older face-brick houses, heritage checks, backyard rental rooms. Who draws them: draughtspersons in Klerksdorp and Orkney, engineers and surveyors in town. A useful tip: ask whether your stand needs a dolomite report before the engineer starts.
Jobs range from a 40 m² flat to a large homestead. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for measured drawings of the family house when no approved plans can be found. One local point to raise: dolomite and old workings in places: ask for a stability report and engineer.
