About us
Having worked in the field of urban development for a number of years, we have gained extensive experience in navigating the complexities of plan submissions and approvals. Our familiarity with the regulatory frameworks and planning guidelines positions us well to effectively assist applicants in achieving their development goals.
We understand that dealing with bureaucracy can be overwhelming. That’s why we take the hassle out of your office by completing the necessary forms, drafting letters of motivation for LUMS, HPOZ, and HWC, and submitting your plans on your behalf. We also monitor the progress of your submissions, providing you with weekly updates on the circulation of your plans through the local authority.
Submitting plans is a crucial step in the development process, as it ensures that proposed projects align with the City’s vision for sustainable growth, heritage conservation, and community well-being. Each of the aforementioned frameworks plays a vital role in guiding development, protecting cultural and historical resources, and promoting responsible land use. By integrating these elements into the planning process, the City of Cape Town aims to create a built environment that reflects its unique identity while meeting the needs of its residents.
We believe that our proactive approach to problem-solving, combined with our strong communication skills, will enable us to effectively liaise with local authorities and stakeholders, ensuring a smooth and efficient approval process.
We have successfully managed multiple projects simultaneously, demonstrating our ability to handle the bureaucratic aspects of plan submissions, including completing forms, drafting letters of motivation, and monitoring the progress of applications. We are committed to providing excellent service to clients and keeping them informed throughout the process, ensuring transparency and trust.
For those requiring Building Development Management (BDM) applications, we offer the option to handle amendments for an additional fee, provided we receive your Revit or AutoCAD files.
In addition to our primary services, we also offer ancillary services, including obtaining previously approved plans, requesting extensions to approved plans, and notifying the building inspector of the commencement of work.
