What to know locally in Midrand
Midrand falls under the City of Johannesburg's Region A and Region D, so plans for Kyalami, Vorna Valley and Waterfall are checked by different offices. Developers of townhouse complexes along Allandale Road need a site development plan before building plans, and every sectional title scheme has its body corporate rules. Ask your draughtsperson which region your erf belongs to and who the town planning contact is.
Homes and buildings in Midrand
Midrand sits halfway between the two big cities and grows fast along the N1 and the M1 corridor. Waterfall and Kyalami Hills hold large lifestyle estates, with strict design rules and aesthetic committees, while Vorna Valley, Halfway House and Noordwyk have older family homes and townhouse complexes. Ivory Park and Tembisa feed the demand for extension plans and backyard rooms, and the business parks along Old Pretoria Road need warehouse and office layouts. Many Midrand stands are small, so double storey plans are common. Kyalami and parts of Glen Austin have rocky or clay ground. Local draughtspersons, technologists and architects draw the plans and quote you directly.
The requests we see from Midrand usually come from:
- Developers and builders: a lower price per unit when the same house type is drawn once and repeated
- Families building a new house: a clear drawing fee for the house, and a list of the extras that sit on top of it
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a quote for a shop or office layout, with the council and fire items itemised
- Rental and granny flat investors: a per-unit price for backyard rooms or flats, so the return on the rental can be worked out
- Owners adding or changing rooms: the price of measuring up the house as it is, plus drawings for only the new work
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: a fixed price for a listing plan or for as-built drawings that unlock a sale
- Churches, schools and crèches: an itemised price a committee can approve, with each stage and extra separated
Local tips for Midrand
Popular here: warehouse and office layouts, lifestyle estate homes and complexes of townhouses. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask which municipal region your stand falls under before choosing a drawer. Who does the work: architects near Waterfall and Carlswald, draughtspersons in Halfway House and Noordwyk.
Around Midrand the largest group asking is developers and builders, which usually means a lower price per unit when the same house type is drawn once and repeated. Expect sACAP category stated in each quote as the baseline, and keep in mind: clay and rock in Kyalami and Glen Austin: expect an engineer's foundation design.
