Extension Plans in Germiston
Many homes in Germiston were built decades ago and are now being extended with extra bedrooms, enclosed patios and converted garages. Draughtspersons across Gauteng draw alterations and additions, check building lines and handle the council submission. Give the erf number and say whether the house has approved plans on record.
The main extension plans page explains the drawings, the standards and the costs in more detail.
Germiston notes on drawings & surveys
Commercial drawings dominate in Wadeville, Isando and along Meyer Street: warehouse partitions, mezzanine offices, canteens and workshop bays. Fit-outs for shops in the Germiston CBD often need escape routes marked for the fire department. For old houses, measured as-built drawings help before a renovation, since walls built a century ago are rarely square or to a consistent thickness.
Homes and buildings in Germiston
Germiston is an old railway and industrial town on the East Rand, with Victorian-era brick houses and tin roofs in Georgetown and Primrose, leafy larger stands in Dinwiddie and Lambton, and the upmarket edge of Bedfordview just north. Owners here tend to renovate rather than start again: pressed-ceiling cottages get new kitchens, garages become offices, and big erven are cut in two for a second house. Around the lake and along Rand Airport Road, workshops and small factories need layouts for fit-outs. Many buildings are old enough that a heritage check may be worth asking about.
Typical extension plans requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Families building a new house: an extra bedroom, a bigger kitchen or a study, drawn to join neatly onto the existing house
- Developers and builders: extended unit types or an added storey on existing houses before they are resold
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: plans that bring an altered house into line, so the sale can pass through transfer
- Rental and granny flat investors: a garage or outbuilding converted into a rentable room with its own entrance
- Churches, schools and crèches: a classroom, hall or vestry added to an existing church or school building
Local tips for Germiston
Popular here: renovations of older houses, workshop and warehouse fit-outs, stand subdivisions. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask if a house older than 60 years in Georgetown or Primrose needs a heritage check. Who does the work: draughtspersons across the suburbs, architects in Bedfordview and Germiston CBD.
Jobs range from one room to a whole new wing. Here, owners adding or changing rooms lead the requests, typically for alterations and additions plans that show demolitions, new walls and the roof join for council. One local point to raise: old mine ground and fill near the rail yards: ask whether an engineer should check it.
