Sasolburg notes on plans & approvals
Metsimaholo Local Municipality approves plans for Sasolburg, Zamdela, Deneysville and Oranjeville. Stands close to the Vaal River or the dam can sit inside flood lines, and those near the industrial area may face zoning buffers, so a site plan checked against the town planning scheme saves trouble. Fire rules under SANS 10400-T apply to thatched dam-shore cottages, and your draughtsperson will advise on distances.
Homes and buildings in Sasolburg
Sasolburg was laid out in the 1950s as a company town beside the Sasol works, and its Garden City streets in Sasolburg proper, Noordwyk and Fluorspar Park still carry tidy 1960s brick houses with generous gardens. Vaalpark is the newer suburb, with a golf and country feel and a growing number of double storey houses toward the Vaal Dam. Zamdela is the large township, where families extend RDP and formal houses and add backyard rooms. Weekend homes at Deneysville and Oranjeville on the dam shore ask for different drawings again. Draughtspersons are based in town and also serve the Vaal Triangle.
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
- Rental and granny flat investors: a per-unit price for backyard rooms or flats, so the return on the rental can be worked out
- 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
- 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
- Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: a fee that shows travel to the stand, since farm and village sites are far from town
Local tips for Sasolburg
Popular here: extensions of 1960s houses, Zamdela backyard rooms and Vaal Dam holiday homes. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask whether your stand sits within a flood line or an industrial buffer zone. Who does the work: draughtspersons in Sasolburg and Vaalpark, architects across the Vaal Triangle.
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: highveld clay, hard winter frost and wind off the dam: ask about foundations and roofs.
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
The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be. The brief below sketches the rooms and works out a floor area for you.
