Plans & approvals in Roodepoort: local notes

Roodepoort belongs to the City of Johannesburg's Region C, and the regional office handles plans for Florida, Discovery and Constantia Kloof. Estates such as Ruimsig Country Estate have their own design committee, which comes first. Check whether your erf is on dolomite or near old workings, because the council may ask for a geotechnical report and the engineer will then choose raft or strip footings.

Homes and buildings in Roodepoort

Roodepoort stretches along the western Witwatersrand ridges, and its housing ranges widely. Florida, Wilro Park and Little Falls have 1960s and 1970s family houses that owners keep extending, while Ruimsig, Wilgeheuwel and Constantia Kloof hold newer estates and larger plots near the Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden. Honeydew has smallholdings, and Weltevredenpark and Radiokop mix houses with townhouses. Soweto's northern edge and Princess township are not far away, adding demand for backyard rooms. Some Roodepoort ground sits above old mine workings or dolomite, so soil checks are common in some areas. Plans are drawn by local draughtspersons, technologists and architects who quote directly.

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
• Developers and builders: a lower price per unit when the same house type is drawn once and repeated
• 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
• Shops, offices and restaurants: a quote for a shop or office layout, with the council and fire items itemised
