Getting three draughtspersons to look at your stand in Randburg 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 Randburg and nearby areas of Gauteng.
Floor Plan Drawing in Randburg
Draughtspersons in Randburg 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.
Randburg notes on drawings & surveys
Linden and Ferndale have many houses with enclosed stoeps, carports turned into rooms and asbestos roofs replaced years ago, so buyers often request as-built drawings before transfer. Owners extending a kitchen or main bedroom need alterations plans that show old walls and new work in separate colours. Shops and takeaways along Republic Road and Hendrik Verwoerd Drive order commercial layouts, including extraction and toilets.
Homes and buildings in Randburg
Randburg is a mid-sized, mostly established area north-west of the CBD, with leafy streets and a busy commercial centre around Republic Road. Ferndale, Blairgowrie, Linden and Northcliff have single-storey houses from the 1950s to 1980s on stands of around 1,000 square metres, many now extended, subdivided or replaced by townhouses. The rocky Northcliff ridge gives steep stands with views, and further out Bromhof and Strijdom Park have newer family homes. Retail and office owners along Jan Smuts Avenue need commercial plans. Renovators dominate here: adding a bedroom, enclosing a stoep or building a flat for a tenant. Plans come from nearby draughtspersons and technologists.
The requests we see from Randburg usually come from:
- Owners adding or changing rooms: an accurate drawing of the existing rooms to plan walls, doors and a kitchen move

Local tips for Randburg
Plans for Randburg are mostly drawn like this: draughtspersons in Ferndale and Linden, technologists near Northcliff and Fontainebleau. The requests that come up most: alterations to 1960s houses, flats for tenants and townhouse subdivisions. When you ask for quotes, ask for the old approved plan from council records before drawing the extension.
Around Randburg the largest group asking is owners adding or changing rooms, which usually means an accurate drawing of the existing rooms to plan walls, doors and a kitchen move. Expect scaled, dimensioned, PDF and CAD files as the baseline, and keep in mind: rocky ridge and steep stands at Northcliff: expect retaining walls and engineer input.
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
- What the drawing is for: layout, listing or council
- The file formats you need, PDF or CAD
A rough idea of the rooms is enough: the brief on this page turns it into a block plan and a floor area.
