Homes and buildings in Benoni
Benoni is the lake town of the East Rand: older suburbs such as Northmead, Rynfield and Farrarmere have large stands with mature trees, Lakefield and Crystal Park hold newer family houses, and the smallholdings at Putfontein and Benoni AH carry sheds, stables and extra dwellings. Owners often ask for a second storey on a 1970s house, a granny flat for a parent, or a plan to subdivide a large erf. Daveyton and Etwatwa have their own mix of extended RDP houses and backyard rooms. Draughtspersons are spread through the suburbs and mostly work on residential jobs.
Typical extension plans requests in the area come from:
- Families building a new house: an extra bedroom, a bigger kitchen or a study, drawn to join neatly onto the existing house
