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.
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
- 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
- Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: a farmhouse or homestead planned for sun, wind, distance from services and a rural stand
- Developers and builders: repeatable house types with a few facade options for a small estate or cluster of homes
Local tips for Randfontein
Most asked for in Randfontein: extensions to older brick houses, backyard rooms and as-built plans for sales. Who draws them: local draughtspersons in town, architects mostly from Krugersdorp and Roodepoort. A useful tip: ask whether your stand sits near old workings before the foundation is drawn.
Jobs range from small homes to large family houses. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for a house designed around the family's brief, stand and orientation, ready for council and builders. One local point to raise: old mine workings, slimes dams and dolomite pockets: ask for a geotechnical report.
