Extension Plans in Polokwane
Many homes in Polokwane were built decades ago and are now being extended with extra bedrooms, enclosed patios and converted garages. Draughtspersons across Limpopo 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.

Extension plans lead the drawing work in Seshego, Flora Park and Westenburg, where families add rooms, a garage conversion or a second storey above an older house. Business owners along Nelson Mandela Drive and Thabo Mbeki Street ask for shop and restaurant layouts, plus fire escape drawings. Lodge owners in the bush around Polokwane often want drawings of thatched units for approval.
Homes and buildings in Polokwane
Polokwane is a city of very different building worlds. Bendor, Flora Park, Welgelegen and Fauna Park have big plastered family houses with tiled roofs and pools, while the new estates off the N1 bypass and Thabo Mbeki Street carry their own design rules. Seshego, Mankweng and Moletjie are townships and traditional-authority areas where families extend houses room by room, and in the surrounding villages many want Venda-style or Sepedi homesteads with courtyard walls and thatched round rooms. Granite koppies and shallow rock appear on many stands. Draughtspersons are based in Bendor and the CBD and quote nationwide.
The requests we see from Polokwane usually come from:
- Families building a new house: an extra bedroom, a bigger kitchen or a study, drawn to join neatly onto the existing house
