I own a property on Parow, its situated at 50 Provident North, Avondale, and would like plans drawn up of the existing property so that I can then plan how to do any renovations. I tried unsuccessfully to get plans from the municipality probably because the house was built many years ago. Kindly let me know what is the cost of drawing up a plan for the existing property. Thank you.
