Local tips for Centurion
If you only ask one local question in Centurion, make it this: ask whether the foundation price allows for a dolomite stand and the engineer's design. The suppliers who answer usually work from yards and erectors in Lyttelton, Highveld Techno Park and along the Old Johannesburg Road.
Here homeowners lead the requests, typically for a one or two bedroom container home on your stand, or a studio behind the house. Plan for the weather: hail and lightning in summer, frost in the Hennops valley in winter.
Centurion notes on homes
Wendy houses in Eldoraigne, Wierdapark and Rooihuiskraal are often a garden office or a storeroom with a stoep. Modular units and tiny houses appeal to estate owners in Midstream and Copperleaf who want something finished off site with little mess. In Olievenhoutbosch and Mooiplaas, nutec houses and container homes are put up as rental units or first homes, and buyers should ask about insulation, since thin walls get hot under summer sun.
Container Homes here usually suit studios, rentals, farm and lodge units. Made or supplied like this: steel containers cut, framed and insulated.
Building prefab in Centurion
Dolomite under parts of Centurion matters more than the colour of the cladding: on some stands the council wants a geotechnical report or an engineer's foundation design before any granny flat or cabin goes up, and a light prefab building does not escape that. Estates such as Irene, Midstream and Southdowns often limit what can stand in a garden, so many owners ask for a neat wendy house or a plastered steel frame unit that matches the house. Olievenhoutbosch has strong demand for backyard rooms. Suppliers in Lyttelton and near the N1 and N14 reach most streets quickly. The Hennops River valley gets frosty, and summer storms from the south west bring hail and lightning.
In Centurion, container homes are asked for by:
- Homeowners: a one or two bedroom container home on your stand, or a studio behind the house
- Backyard landlords and families: insulated 20 ft container rooms to rent, each with a shower and toilet
- Shops, offices and small businesses: a container shop, coffee kiosk or clinic room on a business stand
