Midrand notes on drawings & surveys

Warehouse tenants in the Midrand business parks need floor plans with loading bays, mezzanines and escape routes, and the landlord must approve the layout. Estate agents in Halfway House and Glen Austin order listing plans quickly because buyers want room sizes before visiting. When a Vorna Valley owner converts a garage into a flat, extension plans and a new electrical layout should be drawn together.

Homes and buildings in Midrand

Midrand sits halfway between the two big cities and grows fast along the N1 and the M1 corridor. Waterfall and Kyalami Hills hold large lifestyle estates, with strict design rules and aesthetic committees, while Vorna Valley, Halfway House and Noordwyk have older family homes and townhouse complexes. Ivory Park and Tembisa feed the demand for extension plans and backyard rooms, and the business parks along Old Pretoria Road need warehouse and office layouts. Many Midrand stands are small, so double storey plans are common. Kyalami and parts of Glen Austin have rocky or clay ground. Local draughtspersons, technologists and architects draw the plans and quote you directly.

Typical extension plans requests in the area come from:

  • Developers and builders: extended unit types or an added storey on existing houses before they are resold

  • Shops, offices and restaurants: an added storeroom, kitchen or office wing on an existing shop or workshop
  • Rental and granny flat investors: a garage or outbuilding converted into a rentable room with its own entrance
  • Owners adding or changing rooms: alterations and additions plans that show demolitions, new walls and the roof join for council
  • Estate agents, sellers and landlords: plans that bring an altered house into line, so the sale can pass through transfer
  • Churches, schools and crèches: a classroom, hall or vestry added to an existing church or school building

Local tips for Midrand

Most asked for in Midrand: warehouse and office layouts, lifestyle estate homes and complexes of townhouses. Who draws them: architects near Waterfall and Carlswald, draughtspersons in Halfway House and Noordwyk. A useful tip: ask which municipal region your stand falls under before choosing a drawer.

Jobs range from one room to a whole new wing. Here, developers and builders lead the requests, typically for extended unit types or an added storey on existing houses before they are resold. One local point to raise: clay and rock in Kyalami and Glen Austin: expect an engineer's foundation design.

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

A rough idea of the rooms is enough: the brief on this page turns it into a block plan and a floor area.
