Getting three draughtspersons to look at your stand in Gauteng takes calls and weeks. Send one request instead, with the rooms, the stand and what you have now, and we pass it to draughtspersons and architects who work in towns and cities across Gauteng.
Floor Plan Drawing in Gauteng
Draughtspersons in Gauteng regularly turn a homeowner's measured sketch into a scaled CAD drawing, and many will visit to check the measurements. Say which suburb or erf you are in so quotes for Gauteng include travel and the right local council rules.
The main floor plan drawing page explains the drawings, the standards and the costs in more detail.
What to know locally in Gauteng
Gauteng sellers regularly need as-built drawings because decades of unapproved enclosed patios and garage conversions surface at transfer, especially in Boksburg, Germiston and Pretoria West. Sandton and Rosebank office tenants ask for fit-out layouts and electrical drawings, and agents in Fourways and Bryanston order floor plans for listings. Dolomite sites in parts of Centurion and the West Rand may need extra ground checks before an extension.
Homes and buildings in Gauteng
Gauteng is where most South African plan requests start: older Johannesburg suburbs such as Linden, Parkhurst and Bedfordview where big stands are being subdivided, Pretoria's Waterkloof and Brooklyn, and security-minded estates around Midrand, Centurion and Fourways with strict design guidelines. Townships like Soweto, Tembisa, Mamelodi and Katlehong see steady extensions and backyard rooms on small stands. Highveld thunderstorms, expansive clay and dolomite in parts of the West Rand and Centurion mean engineers and geotechnical reports often come into the picture. Draughtspersons work in nearly every suburb, while architects cluster in Rosebank, Sandton and Hatfield for larger or more complex jobs.
Who asks for floor plan drawing around Gauteng, most often first:
- Families building a new house: a tidy scaled plan of the family house to test furniture, cupboards and a new layout
- Owners adding or changing rooms: an accurate drawing of the existing rooms to plan walls, doors and a kitchen move
- Developers and builders: clean typical unit layouts redrawn from site sketches before the full design starts
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: a clear, scaled plan of a property redrawn from a quick measure on viewing day
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a measured layout of a shop or office to plan shelving, desks and walkways
- Rental and granny flat investors: a neat plan of a rental room or flat to compare layouts and brief a contractor
- Churches, schools and crèches: a scaled layout of a hall or crèche to plan seating, play areas and exits
Local tips for Gauteng
Popular here: double storeys, backyard rental rooms, as-built plans for transfer and estate homes. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask which metro office your stand falls under before the draughtsperson starts. Who does the work: draughtspersons in every suburb, architects in Rosebank, Sandton, Hatfield and Menlyn.
Around Gauteng the largest group asking is families building a new house, which usually means a tidy scaled plan of the family house to test furniture, cupboards and a new layout. Expect scaled, dimensioned, PDF and CAD files as the baseline, and keep in mind: highveld clay and dolomite in places: ask if a geotechnical report is needed.
What to include in your request
- Photos of your sketch, taken square-on
- The address or suburb, for site visit costs
- Whether room sizes are measured or estimated
