Drawings & surveys in North West: local notes
Platinum mine cycles mean many Rustenburg owners rent out rooms, so extension and as-built drawings often follow an agent or tenant's request. Farmers near Lichtenburg and Delareyville ask for shed layouts, and Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom shops commission commercial layouts. Parts of the West Rand fringe and Magaliesberg foothills have dolomite or rocky ground, so an engineer may be needed in some areas.
Homes and buildings in North West
North West mixes platinum-belt towns with big farming country. Around Rustenburg and Brits, mine housing, new bonded townhouses and shops keep draughtspersons busy, while Potchefstroom's university brings student housing and the Hartbeespoort and Magaliesberg shorelines attract lifestyle estates and weekend homes. Klerksdorp, Lichtenburg and Mahikeng serve maize and cattle farms where farmhouses, sheds and workers' cottages are drawn. In the villages of Bojanala and Ngaka Modiri Molema, family homesteads often grow room by room, sometimes on land under traditional leadership. Dust, summer heat and occasional heavy rain shape roofs and drainage on most jobs.
Who asks for as-built drawings around North West, most often first:
- Families building a new house: measured drawings of the family house when no approved plans can be found
- Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: drawings of a farmhouse and outbuildings, many built over the years without approval
- Rental and granny flat investors: drawings of backyard rooms and extra units so rental income is above board
- Owners adding or changing rooms: an accurate record of the walls and roof before knocking down or adding on
- Shops, offices and restaurants: measured drawings of a leased shop or workshop for the landlord or an occupancy approval
- 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
Local tips for North West

Around North West the largest group asking is families building a new house, which usually means measured drawings of the family house when no approved plans can be found. Expect sACAP-signed if sent to council as the baseline, and keep in mind: dolomite and rock in places, hot summers, and heavy storms: ask about drainage.
