THE PLAN APPROVAL PROCESS

STAGE 1

Plan Submission Process

NOTE: All documentation including erf diagrams, services connection diagrams and contour plans that may be required in order to facilitate the design process, are available on the CD (which is free of charge and may be obtained from the sales office at the estate).

STAGE 2

Plan Submission Process

  • One set of the detailed design and working drawings.

    After the Phase 1 drawings have been approved, one set of the detailed design and working drawings must be submitted to the Aesthetics Committee for approval in electronic PDF format, via WeTransfer. Provide all required information as prescribed in Form B for Phase 2 submission.

  • Confirmation of WAN (Waterfall Access Networks) approval.

    Waterfall Access Networks is a service provider that ensures that every home in the estate is equipped with the required infrastructure to facilitate data reticulation throughout the house.

    Please click on the link below to the datasheet. This is a basic and quick approval procedure that runs parallel to the plan approval process.

    After approval of the stage 2 working drawings, additional sets of drawings may be delivered to the Studious office between 08:00 and 09:00 for approval stamps. Please bear in mind that the Aesthetics Committee will always keep a set of plans for our records.

STAGE 3

Plan Submission Process

After the working drawings have been approved by the Aesthetic Commitee, these stamped plans must be submitted to the local authority for approval. Certain prescribed fees will be payable at this stage to the local authority. These aesthetics rules are in addition to, and do not supersede, the requirements of the local authority or any statutory authority or the National Building Regulations.

STAGE 4

Construction Site: Registration with Trafalgar

At this stage, plan approval has been obtained from the Local Authority and you as the owner have appointed a building contractor to perform all the intended
building work.

It is of utmost importance that before any construction takes place, the building contractor registers the project with Estate management (Trafalgar) and a building deposit is paid by the owner. The Contractor will sign on behalf of the owner that the house will be built as per the approved plans and that any intended deviation will be formally submitted to Studious Aesthetics for approval first. The contractor will also undertake that he will be liable to a penalty fee for any construction work that has not formally been approved.

Once the contractor has successfully registered the site, the construction may commence.

STAGE 5

Request for Completion Certificate from the HOA Aesthetical Committee

I have completed my house as per approved plans, what now?

When the construction of the new house has been completed AND an occupation certificate from the local authority has been obtained, you are ready to request a final inspection from Studious Aesthetics to release the building deposit and obtain a Final Completion Certificate.

Please Complete Form G and email it to inspections@studious.co.za. The inspection will be performed by Studious Aesthetics and members of the HOA Aesthetics Committee and feedback will be provided within a period of 2-3 weeks from the receipt of Form G.
