Taelo Legohu Mengwai

That is why the reviews say “Taelo” and not “the team”. One designer, one file at a time.

Getting there
Open in Google MapsThe five questions that come up first.
How long does council approval take?
That clock belongs to City of Ekurhuleni. Two of twenty-seven reviewers said approval ran long — both still gave five stars.
What do you need from me to start?
The erf number, the street address, and what you want to build. If a house already stands there, Taelo measures it on site.
Do you submit the plans to the council, or do I?
RA-MeLT lodges the set with City of Ekurhuleni building control and follows it up. You get progress calls, not a folder.
What does a set of plans cost?
It depends on the build and whether there is a house to measure. Ring Taelo and describe the stand to ask for a quote.
Do you work in my area?
Alberton and the wider City of Ekurhuleni metro: New Redruth, Katlehong, Vosloorus, Boksburg and Germiston.
Describe the erf. Taelo will tell you what it needs.
No contact form, on purpose. This practice runs on one phone, answered by the person who does the drawing.
