Prices in Centurion 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.

Centurion notes on plans & approvals
Almost every estate in Centurion, from Midstream to Zwartkop, asks for plans to pass its design review before the City of Tshwane sees them, so build that step into your timeline. On dolomite land, the municipality may demand a stability investigation before approving foundations, and the engineer then sets the footing type. Ask what the estate's guidelines say about roof colour, boundary walls and coverage.
Homes and buildings in Centurion
Centurion lies between Johannesburg and Pretoria, and its housing is dominated by estates and sectional title complexes. Heritage Hill, Irene Farm Villages, Midstream and Zwartkop have design guidelines and an aesthetics committee, so plans often go to the estate before the municipality. Older Lyttelton Manor, Eldoraigne and Wierda Park have family homes on 800 to 1,000 square metre stands, and Olievenhoutbosch and Laudium see extensions and backyard rooms. Dolomite underlies large parts of Centurion, so a geotechnical report is often needed in some areas. Buyers usually want double storey homes with a patio, and plans come from local draughtspersons, technologists and architects.
The requests we see from Centurion usually 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
- Developers and builders: a lower price per unit when the same house type is drawn once and repeated
- Owners adding or changing rooms: the price of measuring up the house as it is, plus drawings for only the new work
- 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
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a quote for a shop or office layout, with the council and fire items itemised
- Churches, schools and crèches: an itemised price a committee can approve, with each stage and extra separated
