- Mall tenant criteria. Cavendish Square and Blue Route Mall approve tenant drawings before work starts and set the hours contractors may work. Get the tenant guide first.
- Signage approval. A new fascia or projecting sign in the Southern Suburbs usually needs City of Cape Town signage approval before it goes up.
- Building plans. Structural changes or a change of use may need building plan approval from the City of Cape Town. Your contractor or architect can confirm.
Timing and Lead Times
- Festive season. If you want to trade over the festive season, get quotes by mid-year. Workshops fill up from about August.
- After-hours work. Night and weekend work in a centre costs more and stretches the programme.
- Builders' holiday. Many contractors close from mid-December to early January.
What to Send for an Accurate Quote
- Your suburb or town and the type of premises.
- The service you need.
- Floor area in m², or the size of the fitting.
- Mall or centre name, if the unit is in one.
- Target opening date and rough budget.
