Council Drawings
Accurate, Compliant Plans for Guaranteed Approval
Professional Draughting for Council Submission
The foundation of any successful building plan submission is a set of accurate, detailed, and fully compliant council drawings. These technical plans are more than just a sketch; they are a legal document that must adhere to the strict standards set by the National Building Regulations (SANS 10400) and the specific requirements of the local municipality.
Inaccurate or incomplete drawings are the number one reason for submission rejections, leading to frustrating delays and the extra cost of revisions. All plans must be prepared by a SACAP (South African Council for the Architectural Profession) registered professional to be accepted by the council.
Building Compliance Agency collaborates with a network of registered and experienced draughtspersons and architectural professionals. We can facilitate the creation of all necessary drawings for your project, ensuring they are council-ready from the very beginning. Whether you need plans for a new build, an alteration, or 'as-built' drawings to legalize existing structures, we ensure they are crafted to the highest standard for a smooth building plan submission process.
