House Plans in Alberton
Draughtspersons and architects in Alberton draw house plans for stands of every shape, from compact lots to large plots across Gauteng. Give the suburb or erf number and your brief, so the quote can allow for site visits, local building lines and the municipality's own submission habits.
The main house plans page explains the drawings, the standards and the costs in more detail.
Alberton notes on plans & approvals
Alberton falls under the City of Ekurhuleni, with the Alberton customer care centre handling submissions. Estate stands in Meyersdal or Brackenhurst need the estate's design approval first, and the council set follows. Ask your draughtsperson to price the sectional or HOA review fees separately, since estate costs are not the same as municipal ones.
Homes and buildings in Alberton
Alberton climbs from the industrial flats of Alrode and Wadeville up to the ridge around Alberton Nature Reserve, where New Redruth, Brackenhurst and Meyersdal Estate hold larger houses with views. Randhart, Brackendowns and Alberton North are older family suburbs full of renovations, while Thokoza and Katlehong have extended RDP houses and a growing number of rental rooms. Meyersdal and the nearby estates impose design guidelines and aesthetics committee reviews. Plans are mostly extensions, family houses on sloping stands and workshop layouts, drawn by local draughtspersons and estate-based architects.
Typical house plans requests in the area come from:
- Families building a new house: a house designed around the family's brief, stand and orientation, ready for council and builders
- Owners adding or changing rooms: a new design for a house that is being rebuilt or a stock plan adapted to a cleared stand
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a manager's house or staff accommodation drawn to the same standard as the main buildings
- Developers and builders: repeatable house types with a few facade options for a small estate or cluster of homes
- Rental and granny flat investors: a family rental house designed for low upkeep, good tenant appeal and easy later extension
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: a house design to attach to a vacant stand, to help a buyer see what could be built
- Churches, schools and crèches: a pastor's or caretaker's house on church or school grounds, approved with the main buildings

- Rooms wanted and any rooms for later
- Single or double storey, and your budget
