COMMON INQUIRIES

Home Extension FAQs

Technical answers regarding council submissions, structural tie-ins, and living on-site during construction.

Yes. Any structural addition altering the footprint, load-bearing walls, roofline, or floor area requires municipal planning approval under SANS 10400 building regulations. We manage the complete process from architectural CAD draughting and registered PrEng structural engineering certification to municipal council submission and final occupation certificates.
We engineer structural expansion joints, dowel rebar anchors into existing concrete footings with high-strength structural epoxy, and step brickwork to eliminate settling cracks. For rooflines, our carpenters match existing truss pitches, roof tile profiles, and integrate concealed box valleys and flashing so the addition looks original to the home.
In most ground-floor extensions, yes. We erect dust containment hoarding and seal off the construction zone from your living quarters. All excavation, bricklaying, and roof framing take place externally. Internal knock-throughs are executed in a tightly coordinated 48-to-72 hour window with air filtration to minimize daily disruption.
Much of Pretoria East features expansive clay soils subject to seasonal heaving. For these geological conditions, our structural engineers specify reinforced stiffened concrete raft foundations or deep pad footings taken down to stable bedrock, preventing foundation movement and wall cracking during wet and dry cycles.
