Rondavel House Plans in Alberton

Draughtspersons around Alberton draw rondavels and hexagonal huts for homesteads, guest lodges and holiday farms across Gauteng. Tell them whether the stand is in a town, on a farm or under a traditional authority, and how far the hut will be from the boundary, because thatch and fire rules depend on it.

House designs in Alberton: local notes

On the ridge, plans usually step down a slope with a garage below and living areas above, so a split-level or double storey plan can save a lot of earth moving. Randhart and Verwoerdpark families look for three-bedroom houses with a scullery and an enclosed patio. In Thokoza, a two-bedroom starter home with space for a third room is the practical choice.

Homes and buildings in Alberton

Alberton climbs from the industrial flats of Alrode and Wadeville up to the ridge around Alberton Nature Reserve, where New Redruth, Brackenhurst and Meyersdal Estate hold larger houses with views. Randhart, Brackendowns and Alberton North are older family suburbs full of renovations, while Thokoza and Katlehong have extended RDP houses and a growing number of rental rooms. Meyersdal and the nearby estates impose design guidelines and aesthetics committee reviews. Plans are mostly extensions, family houses on sloping stands and workshop layouts, drawn by local draughtspersons and estate-based architects.

The requests we see from Alberton usually come from:

  • Families building a new house: a thatched round room as a lounge, studio or main bedroom added to the house
  • Owners adding or changing rooms: joining a rondavel to an existing house with a covered passage and a matching roof
  • Shops, offices and restaurants: guest rondavels with en-suites and decks for a lodge, guest farm or tea garden
  • Developers and builders: a small holiday village of repeat rondavel units on a coastal or bushveld stand
  • Rental and granny flat investors: rental rondavels for tourists, drawn to the zoning and the fire rules for thatch
  • Estate agents, sellers and landlords: approved drawings for a rondavel on a farm or smallholding being sold, so the bank accepts it
  • Churches, schools and crèches: a round meeting room or crèche hut with good ventilation and a fire-safe roof

Local tips for Alberton

Popular here: sloping-stand family homes, estate houses, garage conversions and workshop layouts. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask for the estate's design guidelines before the first sketch, not after. Who does the work: draughtspersons in Alberton and Brackenhurst, estate architects around Meyersdal.

Around Alberton the largest group asking is families building a new house, which usually means a thatched round room as a lounge, studio or main bedroom added to the house. Expect drawn to SANS 10400, thatch rules checked as the baseline, and keep in mind: sloping ridge stands and some dolomite: ask about an engineer and a soil report.

What to include in your request

  • Round, six corner or eight corner
  • Thatch, sheeting or tile roof
  • How many huts and how they link up
  • Distance to boundaries and other buildings
  • Whether it is a home, a rental or a lodge unit

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

Frequently asked questions

What do rondavel house plans cost in Alberton?
No two jobs cost the same, because the floor area, the site and the drawing set differ. Ballpark: R60 to R160 a square metre for the drawings. Send your request and a draughtsperson serving Alberton will quote you.
What turnaround should I expect in Alberton?
For rondavel house plans: drawings in 2 to 5 weeks. Locally: measure-up in a week, plans in 3 weeks, Ekurhuleni 30 to 60 days. Allow time for your own changes to the design: most delays happen before the plans ever reach council.
Who approves building plans in Alberton?
City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, Alberton customer care centre. Sloping ridge stands and some dolomite: ask about an engineer and a soil report. Ask for the estate's design guidelines before the first sketch, not after. For the full process, see building plan approval in Alberton.
Do you draw the plans yourselves?
No. We don't draw, sign or submit plans. We pass your request to independent draughtspersons, architectural technologists and architects, who quote you directly. Give the stand, the rooms or size, and what exists now so the quotes are easy to compare.
