Plan Prices in Benoni

Plan Prices in Benoni

Prices in Benoni follow the same drawing rates as the rest of Gauteng, but council fees, travel for site visits and the type of stand can change the total. Give the suburb or erf number and the floor area, and each quote will list those local items separately.

The main plan prices page explains the drawings, the standards and the costs in more detail.

Benoni notes on plans & approvals

Plans in Benoni go through the City of Ekurhuleni, and the Benoni customer care centre is the usual drop point. Smallholdings at Putfontein and Benoni AH are zoned agricultural in many cases, so a second dwelling or shed needs the right consent before drawings. A good draughtsperson will ask for the title deed and zoning certificate in the first week.

Homes and buildings in Benoni

Benoni is the lake town of the East Rand: older suburbs such as Northmead, Rynfield and Farrarmere have large stands with mature trees, Lakefield and Crystal Park hold newer family houses, and the smallholdings at Putfontein and Benoni AH carry sheds, stables and extra dwellings. Owners often ask for a second storey on a 1970s house, a granny flat for a parent, or a plan to subdivide a large erf. Daveyton and Etwatwa have their own mix of extended RDP houses and backyard rooms. Draughtspersons are spread through the suburbs and mostly work on residential jobs.

Typical plan prices requests in the area come from:

• Families building a new house: a clear drawing fee for the house, and a list of the extras that sit on top of it
• Owners adding or changing rooms: the price of measuring up the house as it is, plus drawings for only the new work
• Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: a fee that shows travel to the stand, since farm and village sites are far from town
• Rental and granny flat investors: a per-unit price for backyard rooms or flats, so the return on the rental can be worked out
• Estate agents, sellers and landlords: a fixed price for a listing plan or for as-built drawings that unlock a sale
• Developers and builders: a lower price per unit when the same house type is drawn once and repeated
• Shops, offices and restaurants: a quote for a shop or office layout, with the council and fire items itemised

Local tips for Benoni

Plans for Benoni are mostly drawn like this: draughtspersons across the suburbs, architects in Bedfordview and Edenvale. The requests that come up most: second storeys, granny flats, smallholding houses and stand subdivisions. When you ask for quotes, ask whether your smallholding allows a second dwelling before drawing a flat.

Jobs range from a 40 m² cottage to a 400 m² home. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for a clear drawing fee for the house, and a list of the extras that sit on top of it. One local point to raise: lake-edge flood lines and mining ground on the older east side: ask for a survey.

What to include in your request

• The approximate floor area, or the rooms you want
• Single or double storey
• Whether council submission is included
• Whether the stand is sloping or awkward
• What you already have, such as old plans

A rough idea of the rooms is enough: the brief on this page turns it into a block plan and a floor area.
