The main extension plans page explains the drawings, the standards and the costs in more detail.
Bellville notes on drawings & surveys
Bellville drawing work leans commercial and rental: fit-out layouts for offices in Tygervalley and Bellville CBD, warehouse plans in Stikland and Kuils River, and measured drawings for student houses near Karl Bremer Hospital and the campuses. Estate agents often ask for quick floor plans for listings in Durbanville and Brackenfell. Extension drawings are common in the older Boston and Parow streets, where carports become rooms.
Homes and buildings in Bellville
Bellville has grown from a Tygerberg railway town into the northern suburbs' business centre, and plans here reflect that. Office towers and flats are replacing older houses along Voortrekker Road and Tygervalley, while Welgemoed, Plattekloof and Oakdale hold family homes on mid-sized stands that owners extend and subdivide. Student lets cluster near the CPUT and UWC campuses. Panorama and Durbanville add hillside stands with views over the Tygerberg and wheat country. Sandy soil, the south-easter and heavy winter rain affect foundations and roofs, and every plan goes to the City of Cape Town's northern district.

- Rental and granny flat investors: a garage or outbuilding converted into a rentable room with its own entrance
- Shops, offices and restaurants: an added storeroom, kitchen or office wing on an existing shop or workshop
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: plans that bring an altered house into line, so the sale can pass through transfer

What to include in your request
- What you want to add and where it will go
- The address or erf number and the stand size
- Whether the house has approved plans on record
- Photos of the area to be extended
- Whether you will live in the house while building
