What is the process of building a new house?

There are several stages that builders have to go through in order to build a house, office block or even a mall in Johannesburg. Here’s an indication of a builders process: -Stage 1: Builders will give you an indication of what needs to be done to the land they will be building onto. Sometimes the ground needs to be levelled out before construction can take place. -Stage 2: This is the slab down stage where concrete layering takes place. -Stage 3: The plate high stage is when the internal and external bricks are constructed and utilities are integrated such as plumbing & electrical work. -Stage 4: Roof installation and gutter installation takes place. -Stage 5: The lockup stage is when all your doors and windows are installed. -Stage 6: This is known as practical completion where all the finishing touches are done, such as adding light fixtures, paintwork and details to the building. -Stage 7: The handover stage is when the building has been completely structured and you make final payment to the construction company.

Do you have to get your building plans approved by the municipality?

After you draw up your building plans with the help of a professional builders you’ve found on Snupit, you must present your blueprints to your local municipality in Johannesburg for approval.

What regulations do you have to adhere to when constructing a new building?

The new building you construct must not be a hazard in any way. It shouldn’t cause fire risks or damage to the environment around it. Before you can start building, plans must be approved to check whether the electrical work, plumbing and location of the structure won’t pose a threat to the environment.
