Plans & approvals in Sandton: local notes
Larger Sandton projects usually start with an architect, since a rebuild on a Hyde Park or Sandhurst stand involves a client agreement, stages and site visits. Council submission then goes through the Johannesburg region that covers Sandton, where the scheme's coverage, height and street boundary rules are checked closely. Ask the architect which SACAP category they hold and what they may sign, and who submits for you.
Homes and buildings in Sandton
Sandton mixes high-value houses with dense towers. Bryanston, Hyde Park, Morningside and Sandhurst have large stands where old houses are demolished or rebuilt with swimming pools, guest suites and high walls, and Rivonia, Sunninghill and Illovo have townhouse clusters. Apartment buildings and offices fill the node around Maude and Rivonia Road. Alexandra, close by, sees backyard rooms and shop extensions on tiny stands. Design is often handled by registered architects, with draughtspersons working under them for documentation. Many homeowners want 3D renders to show the committee or a bank, and Sandton's quiet streets are tightly governed by scheme rules on coverage and height.

Expect sACAP-registered, category checked as the baseline, and keep in mind: mostly stable ground with dolomite pockets near Sunninghill: ask for a soil report.
