The email attachments shall include a set of ready-to-build house plans in the form of detailed, high-quality drawings. These drawings will consist of the following:

These drawings show a bird's eye view of every floor layout displaying all rooms, walls, windows, doors, drainage, dimensions, details and notes of material items. It also features references to different components and sections located in other places on the building plans.

These drawings show the sides of the house when viewed from all four sides - North, South, East and West.They also show the external treatment of the walls, finishes and exterior materials. The drawings provide details and notes on vertical dimensions and drainage components of the structure. Also elaborated are roofing notes and corbelling details. All other unique and specific details to the particular plan are also indicated here.

These drawings show a sliced view of the entire structure taken at specific points.Large-scale views show cuttings or sections of the foundations, ground level, floors, walls, staircases and roof details. Additional cross-sections may display important details that may be hidden otherwise in the structure?s deepest layers. Sections show the manner in which various components interconnect, forming a monolithic and solid outcome that then becomes a dwelling place. In certain cases, large scaled drawings may be required for the illustration of the interconnected nature of even the smallest components of the building, which will then translate to the builder and other building consultants what makes up the structure.

These drawings outline suggested positions for your electrical plugs, outlets, switches, lighting etc. Layouts are provided for every floor level, every room, the garage and exterior. Note that your electrician will be responsible for the designs and reticulation of all wiring, circuits and every engineering detail in the entire system.

In certain specific structural situations such as double storey houses, complex roofing and foundations or unstable soils, you will require an engineer?s certificate or seal before you submit the plans to the local authority. This document serves as proof that a licensed structural engineer was appointed by you the homeowner, for purposes of undertaking any specification or testing of appropriate measures to guarantee the integrity of the entire structural system.


Where necessary, following purchase of the plans from Plandeluxe, you may then appoint your local engineer to undertake quality control and site visits during construction of your home. Remember that a final Certificate of Completion from your engineer will also be required upon completing building but prior to obtaining the Occupation Certificate that permits you to occupy the house. The Completion Certificate is issued by an engineer once they have satisfied themselves that the construction has been undertaken in accordance with their initial specifications.

The purpose of your local authority is to control and regulate the constant development and densification of local residential areas and cities.

Because such requirements considerably vary from one local authority to another, it is wise to approach your relevant local authority to ascertain their requirements.
