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.
The requests we see from Germiston usually come from:
- Owners adding or changing rooms: a measure-up of the house as it stands and plans for the new rooms, approved before building
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a measured layout for a shop, office or restaurant fit-out, with the fire and access notes
- Families building a new house: a full plan set for a new house, drawn to the stand and ready for council and builders' quotes
- Developers and builders: unit layouts, site development plans and repeatable house types for townhouses or a small estate
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: a clear listing floor plan with room sizes, and approved plans for the transfer
- Rental and granny flat investors: plans for backyard rental rooms, a granny flat or student units that meet the zoning rules
- Churches, schools and crèches: plans for a church hall, crèche or classroom block, drawn for council and the fire department

For owners adding or changing rooms, the biggest group here, that usually means a measure-up of the house as it is and plans for the new rooms, approved before building. On the ground: old mine ground and fill near the rail yards: ask whether an engineer should check it.
