Drawings & surveys in Sandton: local notes
Developers selling apartments off plan in the Sandton node order 3D floor plans and interior renders to market units before the first brick is laid. Owners in Craighall Park and Sunninghill order extension plans when adding a wing or a second storey, with neighbours' consent in some cases. Electrical layouts for solar, battery backup and a car charger point are standard requests when a Sandton house is rebuilt.
Homes and buildings in Sandton
Sandton mixes high-value houses with dense towers. Bryanston, Hyde Park, Morningside and Sandhurst have large stands where old houses are demolished or rebuilt with swimming pools, guest suites and high walls, and Rivonia, Sunninghill and Illovo have townhouse clusters. Apartment buildings and offices fill the node around Maude and Rivonia Road. Alexandra, close by, sees backyard rooms and shop extensions on tiny stands. Design is often handled by registered architects, with draughtspersons working under them for documentation. Many homeowners want 3D renders to show the committee or a bank, and Sandton's quiet streets are tightly governed by scheme rules on coverage and height.
Typical extension plans requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Rental and granny flat investors: a garage or outbuilding converted into a rentable room with its own entrance
- Shops, offices and restaurants: an added storeroom, kitchen or office wing on an existing shop or workshop
- 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 Sandton
Popular here: architect-designed rebuilds, townhouse clusters and 3D renders for committees. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask the architect for a fixed fee per stage and which views of the 3D are included. Who does the work: architects in Hyde Park, Illovo and Sandhurst, draughtspersons throughout Bryanston.
Jobs range from one room to a whole new wing. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for an extra bedroom, a bigger kitchen or a study, drawn to join neatly onto the existing house. One local point to raise: mostly stable ground with dolomite pockets near Sunninghill: ask for a soil report.
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.
