Drawings & surveys in Pretoria: local notes

Students pay for rooms in Hatfield, Arcadia and Sunnyside, so owners commission as-built drawings and fire-escape layouts when converting a house. Agents in Lynnwood and Menlo Park use floor plans in their listings, and shop owners in Brooklyn and Menlyn have commercial layouts drawn for tenant fit-outs. Many buyers of older Pretoria houses discover extra rooms that lack approval, which as-built drawings can fix.

Homes and buildings in Pretoria

Pretoria has a different rhythm from Johannesburg: jacaranda streets, red-brick Victorian and Art Deco houses, and a ring of newer estates. Older suburbs such as Arcadia, Sunnyside, Brooklyn, Waterkloof and Muckleneuk hold buildings that may fall under heritage rules, while Hatfield and Sunnyside have student flats and rental blocks. To the east, Mooikloof and Faerie Glen are filling with modern double storey homes, and in the north Mamelodi, Soshanguve and Ga-Rankuwa see families extend their houses and add backyard rooms. Hills and rocky outcrops affect slopes, and the Apies River floods in places. Draughtspersons, technologists and architects across the city quote directly.

Local tips for Pretoria

Plans for Pretoria are mostly drawn like this: architects in Brooklyn and Waterkloof, draughtspersons across the east and north. The requests that come up most: heritage-area alterations, student flats near Hatfield and Mooikloof family homes. When you ask for quotes, ask if your old house sits in a heritage area before you plan alterations.

Jobs range from a 30 m² kiosk to a large warehouse. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for plans to run a home business from a converted garage, with the zoning questions checked. One local point to raise: rocky hills and clay in places, floodplain along the Apies: ask about site levels.

  • The address and the floor area of the premises
  • Whether you rent, and the landlord's requirements
