eMalahleni notes on drawings & surveys
As-built drawings are a regular request in eMalahleni because many houses were extended over the years without a council stamp. Sellers in Model Park and Tasbet Park find out at transfer that the bond lender wants approved plans, and a measured drawing is the first step. Mine contractors also ask for floor plans of guest houses and lodges near the N4 and Kriel, and shop owners in the Ogies and Del Judor area ask for commercial layouts.
Homes and buildings in eMalahleni
eMalahleni grew around coal, and the plans drawn here show it. Older stands in Reyno Ridge, Model Park, Hoeveld Park and Tasbet Park carry face-brick houses from the mining boom, and owners are adding en-suites, flats for grown children and covered braai areas. Mine employees and contractors look for rental rooms in Klarinet and Del Judor, while KwaGuqa, Ackerville and the Kriel side see RDP houses extended room by room. Much of the ground near the old workings is undermined or shallow-mined, so a draughtsperson who knows the area will ask about it before the foundation drawing starts, and bring in an engineer early.
