Building prefab in Sandton
Large gardens in Bryanston, Hyde Park and Morningside give Sandton its own kind of prefab request: a pool house, a timber garden office, a staff room or a granny flat for a parent, finished well enough to sit beside an expensive house and passed through the council plan process. Complexes in Sunninghill, Lonehill and Rivonia have less space and stricter body corporate rules, so a small wendy or a storeroom is often all that is allowed. Alexandra, beside the Jukskei River, is a different picture, with backyard rooms on tiny stands and narrow lanes. Delivery comes from Wynberg, Marlboro and Kew. Old oaks and jacarandas shade many plots, which helps in summer but drops branches in storms, and hail and lightning are common.
Who asks for container homes around Sandton, most often first:
- Homeowners: a one or two bedroom container home on your stand, or a studio behind the house
- Shops, offices and small businesses: a container shop, coffee kiosk or clinic room on a business stand
- Backyard landlords and families: insulated 20 ft container rooms to rent, each with a shower and toilet
- Schools and creches: a container classroom, library or store dropped onto the school grounds
