Floor Plans in Sandton
Draughtspersons and architects serving Sandton range from one-person practices who measure up and draw small houses and extensions to firms that design estates and commercial buildings across Gauteng. Give the suburb or erf number so the quote can include site visits, travel and the local council's submission process.
The main floor plans page explains the drawings, the standards and the costs in more detail.
Plans & approvals in Sandton: local notes
Larger Sandton projects usually start with an architect, since a rebuild on a Hyde Park or Sandhurst stand involves a client agreement, stages and site visits. Council submission then goes through the Johannesburg region that covers Sandton, where the scheme's coverage, height and street boundary rules are checked closely. Ask the architect which SACAP category they hold and what they may sign, and who submits for you.
Homes and buildings in Sandton
Sandton mixes high-value houses with dense towers. Bryanston, Hyde Park, Morningside and Sandhurst have large stands where old houses are demolished or rebuilt with swimming pools, guest suites and high walls, and Rivonia, Sunninghill and Illovo have townhouse clusters. Apartment buildings and offices fill the node around Maude and Rivonia Road. Alexandra, close by, sees backyard rooms and shop extensions on tiny stands. Design is often handled by registered architects, with draughtspersons working under them for documentation. Many homeowners want 3D renders to show the committee or a bank, and Sandton's quiet streets are tightly governed by scheme rules on coverage and height.
The requests we see from Sandton 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

- Churches, schools and crèches: plans for a church hall, crèche or classroom block, drawn for council and the fire department
Local tips for Sandton
Popular here: architect-designed rebuilds, townhouse clusters and 3D renders for committees. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask the architect for a fixed fee per stage and which views of the 3D are included. Who does the work: architects in Hyde Park, Illovo and Sandhurst, draughtspersons throughout Bryanston.
Around Sandton 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: mostly stable ground with dolomite pockets near Sunninghill: ask for a soil 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
- When you need the drawings
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.
