Germiston notes on drawings & surveys

Commercial drawings dominate in Wadeville, Isando and along Meyer Street: warehouse partitions, mezzanine offices, canteens and workshop bays. Fit-outs for shops in the Germiston CBD often need escape routes marked for the fire department. For old houses, measured as-built drawings help before a renovation, since walls built a century ago are rarely square or to a consistent thickness.

Homes and buildings in Germiston

Germiston is an old railway and industrial town on the East Rand, with Victorian-era brick houses and tin roofs in Georgetown and Primrose, leafy larger stands in Dinwiddie and Lambton, and the upmarket edge of Bedfordview just north. Owners here tend to renovate rather than start again: pressed-ceiling cottages get new kitchens, garages become offices, and big erven are cut in two for a second house. Around the lake and along Rand Airport Road, workshops and small factories need layouts for fit-outs. Many buildings are old enough that a heritage check may be worth asking about.
