Free State notes on drawings & surveys
Welkom has many ex-mine houses where owners later enclosed stoeps or added garages without approval, so as-built drawings are common at transfer. Bloemfontein's student housing around the university needs extension and conversion plans, and Sasolburg offices and workshops need fire and layout drawings. Farmers around Ladybrand and Ficksburg ask for shed, cold-store and farmhouse layouts, often with electrical points mapped early.
Homes and buildings in Free State
The Free State is farm country with a handful of larger towns. Bloemfontein's Westdene, Universitas and Brandwag hold older suburban houses and a university-driven rental market, while Welkom and Sasolburg grew around gold and petrochemicals and have large post-mine and company-built stock. In the east, Clarens, Bethlehem and Harrismith sit among sandstone hills where tourism lodges and holiday homes use local stone. Farmhouses and sheds dot the maize and sheep plains, and the townships of Mangaung and Botshabelo see steady extensions. Cold winters, summer storms and strong wind mean insulation and roof fixing are discussed on most jobs.
Who asks for electrical plans around Free State, most often first:
- Families building a new house: a plug, light and switch layout for a new house, with the DB, stove and geyser points placed
- Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: a layout for a farmhouse or shed with solar, borehole pump and backup supply in mind
- Owners adding or changing rooms: a new kitchen or bathroom layout with extra circuits, so old wiring is not overloaded
- Rental and granny flat investors: a layout that gives each rental room its own circuit, plugs and, where wanted, a sub-meter
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: a layout to show buyers the planned points for an off-plan or newly renovated unit
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a layout for tills, equipment, lighting and data in a shop, salon or office
- Churches, schools and crèches: a lighting and plug layout for a hall, crèche or classroom block with spare capacity
- Developers and builders: a repeatable electrical layout for each unit type, so the electrician quotes consistently
Local tips for Free State
Popular here: student and mine-town extensions, sandstone holiday homes, farmhouses and sheds. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask whether the village or conservation committee must see the drawings before council. Who does the work: draughtspersons in Bloemfontein, Welkom and Bethlehem, architects in Bloemfontein.
Jobs range from one room to a whole building. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for a plug, light and switch layout for a new house, with the DB, stove and geyser points placed. One local point to raise: frosty winters, summer hail and wind, with cracking clay in some towns.
What to include in your request
- A floor plan, or the size and rooms of the building
- Heavy appliances: stove, geyser, air conditioners
- Whether you want solar, an inverter or backup power
- Any EV charger, gate or data requirements
- Whether a registered electrician is already chosen
A rough idea of the rooms is enough: the brief on this page turns it into a block plan and a floor area.
