North West notes on drawings & surveys
Platinum mine cycles mean many Rustenburg owners rent out rooms, so extension and as-built drawings often follow an agent or tenant's request. Farmers near Lichtenburg and Delareyville ask for shed layouts, and Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom shops commission commercial layouts. Parts of the West Rand fringe and Magaliesberg foothills have dolomite or rocky ground, so an engineer may be needed in some areas.
Homes and buildings in North West
North West mixes platinum-belt towns with big farming country. Around Rustenburg and Brits, mine housing, new bonded townhouses and shops keep draughtspersons busy, while Potchefstroom's university brings student housing and the Hartbeespoort and Magaliesberg shorelines attract lifestyle estates and weekend homes. Klerksdorp, Lichtenburg and Mahikeng serve maize and cattle farms where farmhouses, sheds and workers' cottages are drawn. In the villages of Bojanala and Ngaka Modiri Molema, family homesteads often grow room by room, sometimes on land under traditional leadership. Dust, summer heat and occasional heavy rain shape roofs and drainage on most jobs.
Typical floor plan drawing requests in the area come from:
- Families building a new house: a tidy scaled plan of the family house to test furniture, cupboards and a new layout
- Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: a drawing of a farmhouse or workers' cottage for repairs, with outbuildings placed on the stand
- Rental and granny flat investors: a neat plan of a rental room or flat to compare layouts and brief a contractor
- Owners adding or changing rooms: an accurate drawing of the existing rooms to plan walls, doors and a kitchen move
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a measured layout of a shop or office to plan shelving, desks and walkways
- Developers and builders: clean typical unit layouts redrawn from site sketches before the full design starts
- Churches, schools and crèches: a scaled layout of a hall or crèche to plan seating, play areas and exits
Local tips for North West
Most asked for in North West: mine-town houses, student rooms, farm buildings and Hartbeespoort lifestyle homes. Who draws them: draughtspersons in Rustenburg, Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp, architects in Potchefstroom. A useful tip: ask if your stand is on communal land and needs a traditional council letter first.
Jobs range from one room to a whole house. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for a tidy scaled plan of the family house to test furniture, cupboards and a new layout. One local point to raise: dolomite and rock in places, hot summers, and heavy storms: ask about drainage.
