Plans & approvals in Randfontein: local notes
Plans here go to Rand West City, a merged municipality, so ask the building control office in Randfontein which forms and zoning certificate your stand needs. Older erven in Greenhills often have title deed conditions from the mining era, and mineral rights notes can appear on the deed. A draughtsperson who has submitted locally will know which departments circulate the set and where delays usually happen.
Homes and buildings in Randfontein
Randfontein is a West Rand mining town where older houses in Greenhills and around Main Reef Road sit on large stands, and new building is pushed towards Mohlakeng, Toekomsrus and the smallholdings out towards Westonaria. Most requests are for extensions to brick houses from the 1960s and 1970s, backyard rooms for rent, and first-time plans for stands in the newer extensions. Old gold workings, slimes dams and dolomite pockets mean the ground varies from street to street, so a drawing often starts with what the engineer finds on the stand. Local draughtspersons and a few Krugersdorp offices draw most of the work.
The requests we see from Randfontein usually come from:
- Families building a new house: a full plan set for a new house, drawn to the stand and ready for council and builders' quotes
- Owners adding or changing rooms: a measure-up of the house as it stands and plans for the new rooms, approved before building
- Rental and granny flat investors: plans for backyard rental rooms, a granny flat or student units that meet the zoning rules
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: a clear listing floor plan with room sizes, and approved plans for the transfer
- Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: plans for a farmhouse, a homestead or rondavels on a rural stand, with a simple site plan
- Developers and builders: unit layouts, site development plans and repeatable house types for townhouses or a small estate
Local tips for Randfontein
Plans for Randfontein are mostly drawn like this: local draughtspersons in town, architects mostly from Krugersdorp and Roodepoort. The requests that come up most: extensions to older brick houses, backyard rooms and as-built plans for sales. When you ask for quotes, ask whether your stand sits near old workings before the foundation is drawn.
Around Randfontein the largest group asking is families building a new house, which usually means a full plan set for a new house on a vacant stand, ready for council and builders' quotes. Expect sACAP-registered for council plans as the baseline, and keep in mind: old mine workings, slimes dams and dolomite pockets: ask for a geotechnical report.
What to include in your request
- What the plan is for: build, approve, sell or renovate
- The address or erf number and the stand size
- The rooms you want, or the size of the building
- Any plans, sketches or photos you have now

The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be. The brief below sketches the rooms and works out a floor area for you.
