Pretoria notes on drawings & surveys
Students pay for rooms in Hatfield, Arcadia and Sunnyside, so owners commission as-built drawings and fire-escape layouts when converting a house. Agents in Lynnwood and Menlo Park use floor plans in their listings, and shop owners in Brooklyn and Menlyn have commercial layouts drawn for tenant fit-outs. Many buyers of older Pretoria houses discover extra rooms that lack approval, which as-built drawings can fix.
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.
The requests we see from Pretoria 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
- Rental and granny flat investors: drawings of backyard rooms and extra units so rental income is above board
- Developers and builders: measured drawings of a purchased building before conversion or subdivision
- Shops, offices and restaurants: measured drawings of a leased shop or workshop for the landlord or an occupancy approval
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: as-built plans so the sale can pass the bank and the conveyancer at transfer
- Churches, schools and crèches: records of an older church hall or school building before repairs or a new wing
