Alberton notes on drawings & surveys
Workshops, motor repair bays and light factories around Alrode and Meyersdal Business Park need drawings with fire escapes and parking. Extension plans for garage conversions and covered patios are common in Brackendowns. For landlords, a measured floor plan helps with letting a granny flat or small apartment, while buyers on the ridge often want 3D views of a proposed house before breaking ground.
Homes and buildings in Alberton
Alberton climbs from the industrial flats of Alrode and Wadeville up to the ridge around Alberton Nature Reserve, where New Redruth, Brackenhurst and Meyersdal Estate hold larger houses with views. Randhart, Brackendowns and Alberton North are older family suburbs full of renovations, while Thokoza and Katlehong have extended RDP houses and a growing number of rental rooms. Meyersdal and the nearby estates impose design guidelines and aesthetics committee reviews. Plans are mostly extensions, family houses on sloping stands and workshop layouts, drawn by local draughtspersons and estate-based architects.
The requests we see from Alberton usually come from:
- Families building a new house: an extra bedroom, a bigger kitchen or a study, drawn to join neatly onto the existing house
- Owners adding or changing rooms: alterations and additions plans that show demolitions, new walls and the roof join for council
- Shops, offices and restaurants: an added storeroom, kitchen or office wing on an existing shop or workshop
- Developers and builders: extended unit types or an added storey on existing houses before they are resold
- Rental and granny flat investors: a garage or outbuilding converted into a rentable room with its own entrance
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: plans that bring an altered house into line, so the sale can pass through transfer
- Churches, schools and crèches: a classroom, hall or vestry added to an existing church or school building
