What to know locally in Kimberley
Old Kimberley houses with corrugated iron roofs and verandas often arrive with no drawings at all, so measured as-built drawings are the first job before a renovation or a sale. Extension plans for enclosing a veranda, listing plans for agents, and shop layouts along Jones Street and in the CBD fill the rest. Ground near old mine workings may need a geotechnical check.
Homes and buildings in Kimberley
Kimberley grew around the Big Hole, and its older suburbs of Belgravia, Kimberley North and Monument Heights have Victorian and Edwardian houses with corrugated iron roofs, verandas and lacework that may carry heritage protection. Across town, Galeshewe, Roodepan and Ritchie have township houses and backyard rooms being extended, while Hadison Park, Diamant Park and Royldene offer modern face-brick homes. Flat, dry land and hot summers mean thick walls, deep overhangs and sensible roof insulation. Draughtspersons work from Kimberley offices and handle plans for the whole Sol Plaatje area and into the wider Northern Cape.
