Sandton notes on drawings & surveys

Developers selling apartments off plan in the Sandton node order 3D floor plans and interior renders to market units before the first brick is laid. Owners in Craighall Park and Sunninghill order extension plans when adding a wing or a second storey, with neighbours' consent in some cases. Electrical layouts for solar, battery backup and a car charger point are standard requests when a Sandton house is rebuilt.

Homes and buildings in Sandton

Sandton mixes high-value houses with dense towers. Bryanston, Hyde Park, Morningside and Sandhurst have large stands where old houses are demolished or rebuilt with swimming pools, guest suites and high walls, and Rivonia, Sunninghill and Illovo have townhouse clusters. Apartment buildings and offices fill the node around Maude and Rivonia Road. Alexandra, close by, sees backyard rooms and shop extensions on tiny stands. Design is often handled by registered architects, with draughtspersons working under them for documentation. Many homeowners want 3D renders to show the committee or a bank, and Sandton's quiet streets are tightly governed by scheme rules on coverage and height.

Typical as-built drawings requests in the area come from:

  • Families building a new house: measured drawings of the family house when no approved plans can be found
  • Developers and builders: measured drawings of a purchased building before conversion or subdivision
  • Rental and granny flat investors: drawings of backyard rooms and extra units so rental income is above board
  • 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
  • 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

Local tips for Sandton

Most asked for in Sandton: architect-designed rebuilds, townhouse clusters and 3D renders for committees. Who draws them: architects in Hyde Park, Illovo and Sandhurst, draughtspersons throughout Bryanston. A useful tip: ask the architect for a fixed fee per stage and which views of the 3D are included.

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: mostly stable ground with dolomite pockets near Sunninghill: ask for a soil report.
