What to know locally in Randburg

On the slopes of Northcliff and Fontainebleau, houses step down the hill with the garage at street level and bedrooms below, and the drawings must show cuts and retaining walls. In Bromhof and Randpark Ridge, families choose three- or four-bedroom designs with a braai area and a double garage. Older Ferndale owners ask for small flats or a granny flat to let for extra income.

Homes and buildings in Randburg

Randburg is a mid-sized, mostly established area north-west of the CBD, with leafy streets and a busy commercial centre around Republic Road. Ferndale, Blairgowrie, Linden and Northcliff have single-storey houses from the 1950s to 1980s on stands of around 1,000 square metres, many now extended, subdivided or replaced by townhouses. The rocky Northcliff ridge gives steep stands with views, and further out Bromhof and Strijdom Park have newer family homes. Retail and office owners along Jan Smuts Avenue need commercial plans. Renovators dominate here: adding a bedroom, enclosing a stoep or building a flat for a tenant. Plans come from nearby draughtspersons and technologists.

Local tips for Randburg

Plans for Randburg are mostly drawn like this: draughtspersons in Ferndale and Linden, technologists near Northcliff and Fontainebleau. The requests that come up most: alterations to 1960s houses, flats for tenants and townhouse subdivisions. When you ask for quotes, ask for the old approved plan from council records before drawing the extension.

Jobs range from about 30 m² to 80 m² houses. Here, owners adding or changing rooms lead the requests, typically for replacing a worn-out outbuilding with a neat small house for a relative or tenant. One local point to raise: rocky ridge and steep stands at Northcliff: expect retaining walls and engineer input.

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

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