Kimberley notes on house designs
In Hadison Park, Diamant Park and Royldene, buyers choose single storey face-brick homes with three bedrooms, a double garage and a braai area, usually under a concrete tile or IBR roof. Galeshewe and Roodepan owners more often ask for a simple two bedroom house that can take a third room later. Granny flats behind older Belgravia houses are a rising request for rentals.
Homes and buildings in Kimberley
Kimberley grew around the Big Hole, and its older suburbs of Belgravia, Kimberley North and Monument Heights have Victorian and Edwardian houses with corrugated iron roofs, verandas and lacework that may carry heritage protection. Across town, Galeshewe, Roodepan and Ritchie have township houses and backyard rooms being extended, while Hadison Park, Diamant Park and Royldene offer modern face-brick homes. Flat, dry land and hot summers mean thick walls, deep overhangs and sensible roof insulation. Draughtspersons work from Kimberley offices and handle plans for the whole Sol Plaatje area and into the wider Northern Cape.

Local tips for Kimberley
Plans for Kimberley are mostly drawn like this: draughtspersons around Du Toitspan Road, architects with heritage experience in Belgravia. The requests that come up most: renovations of older houses, backyard rooms in Galeshewe and 3 bedroom homes. When you ask for quotes, ask if your house is over 60 years old before you plan any change.
Around Kimberley the largest group asking is families building a new house, which usually means a compact first home on a small stand, with a layout that can grow when the family does. Expect sANS 10400 or rational design for frames as the baseline, and keep in mind: hot, dry and flat; old mine ground in places: ask about a geotechnical report.
What to include in your request
- The stand size and building lines if known
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether you will extend later and how
- The building method: brick, steel frame or timber
- Your budget and when you want to start
