The main building plans page explains the drawings, the standards and the costs in more detail.
What to know locally in Brits
Brits and the Hartbeespoort area fall under Madibeng Local Municipality, which handles a large and varied area from farms to townships and lakeside estates. Building plan processing can take longer in a municipality this size, so allow for that. Estates around the dam have their own architectural reviews before council, and some stands have servitudes or flood lines along the Crocodile and the dam. A local draughtsperson can check these before drawing begins.
Homes and buildings in Brits
Brits is an irrigation town on the Crocodile River, where citrus orchards, vegetables, small factories and Hartbeespoort Dam shape what gets built. Older houses in Damonsville and the town centre are being extended, and farm owners along the Magalies canal ask for homesteads and worker housing. Letlhabile, Mothutlung and Oukasie are growing with RDP houses, rooms to let and spaza shops. Around Hartbeespoort and Schoemansville, steep stands hold weekend homes and lifestyle estates with strict design guidelines. Clay and dolomite in some parts mean that the foundation question comes up often.
