Homes and buildings in Rustenburg
Rustenburg is a mining city under the Magaliesberg, where platinum shafts, smelters and tailings dams share the plain with suburbs and villages. Older houses in Cashan, Karlien Park, Waterkloof and Geelhout Park are being extended, and Zinniaville and Safari Gardens hold sectional title complexes and older brick houses. Boitekong and Tlhabane grow with RDP houses, rooms to let and small shops. Phokeng and the nearby villages lie on land under the Bafokeng and other traditional authorities, which affects how plans are lodged. Black turf soil in parts of the plain is a regular concern for foundations.
The requests we see from Rustenburg usually come from:
- 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

- Churches, schools and crèches: records of an older church hall or school building before repairs or a new wing
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: as-built plans so the sale can pass the bank and the conveyancer at transfer

Plans for Rustenburg are mostly drawn like this: draughtspersons across Rustenburg, engineers and surveyors near Beyers Naude Drive.

When you ask for quotes, ask whether your site is freehold or under a traditional authority before you start.
Around Rustenburg 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.
