Answer them once in a request for as-built drawings in Vanderbijlpark, and we pass it to draughtspersons who measure up buildings who cover Vanderbijlpark and nearby areas of Gauteng.

Vanderbijlpark notes on drawings & surveys
As-built drawings are common when older steelworker houses in Vanderbijlpark are sold with unapproved additions. Commercial layouts for light industry, truck workshops and takeaways along Barrage Road and in the Vanderbijlpark CBD need fire and escape routes marked. Church halls and crèches in Bophelong and Boipatong often need an accessible toilet and a simple hall layout.
Homes and buildings in Vanderbijlpark
Vanderbijlpark is a planned steel town on the Vaal, laid out in numbered sectors (SW1 to SW5, CW and NW) around the old Iscor works. Many houses are 1950s and 1960s face-brick homes on generous stands, now being extended, while Vaalpark, Rust-ter-Vaal and the riverside stands near Bedworthpark hold larger houses with decks and boat sheds. Bophelong, Boipatong and Sebokeng nearby have extended township houses and backyard rooms. Typical jobs are extensions, river-edge houses and small workshops, with local draughtspersons covering most of the work.
The requests we see from Vanderbijlpark 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
- 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
- Rental and granny flat investors: drawings of backyard rooms and extra units so rental income is above board
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: as-built plans so the sale can pass the bank and the conveyancer at transfer
- Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: drawings of a farmhouse and outbuildings, many built over the years without approval
