Drawings & surveys in North West: local notes
Platinum mine cycles mean many Rustenburg owners rent out rooms, so extension and as-built drawings often follow an agent or tenant's request. Farmers near Lichtenburg and Delareyville ask for shed layouts, and Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom shops commission commercial layouts. Parts of the West Rand fringe and Magaliesberg foothills have dolomite or rocky ground, so an engineer may be needed in some areas.
Homes and buildings in North West
North West mixes platinum-belt towns with big farming country. Around Rustenburg and Brits, mine housing, new bonded townhouses and shops keep draughtspersons busy, while Potchefstroom's university brings student housing and the Hartbeespoort and Magaliesberg shorelines attract lifestyle estates and weekend homes. Klerksdorp, Lichtenburg and Mahikeng serve maize and cattle farms where farmhouses, sheds and workers' cottages are drawn. In the villages of Bojanala and Ngaka Modiri Molema, family homesteads often grow room by room, sometimes on land under traditional leadership. Dust, summer heat and occasional heavy rain shape roofs and drainage on most jobs.
