Drawings & surveys in Middelburg: local notes
Drawing work in Middelburg ranges from a measured plan of a house being sold in Kanonkop to commercial layouts for workshops and eateries in the town centre and Aerorand. Landlords with rooms for steelworks contractors ask for floor plans that show each unit and its entrance. Churches in Mhluzi regularly commission hall layouts with a stage and a kitchen, so ask about escape routes and toilets early.

Middelburg is a steady Highveld town where the steel and stainless works, farms and the N4 corridor shape the building trade. Eastdene, Aerorand and Kanonkop hold older single-storey houses on large stands, many of them now being extended, and subdivided in a few cases. Newer family homes go up near the Middelburg Dam side of town, and Mhluzi has RDP houses growing with backyard rooms and spaza shops on the corner stands. Farmers from the Hendrina and Belfast side often come in for a homestead or farm-worker house. Plans are usually drawn by local draughtspersons who work from home offices or small studios.
