Alberton and granny flats

Planning a granny flat in Alberton? Say how big it must be, how many bedrooms and bathrooms, where it will stand on the plot, and whether you already have approved plans and a slab. Builders and suppliers who work in Alberton and across Gauteng will quote the unit, the slab and delivery.

For the full picture, from frames to finishes, see the granny flats guide.

Alberton: the ground, the weather and the yards

Suburban gardens and a big industrial base meet in Alberton. Meyersdal and Brackenhurst have large homes on sloping stands below the Klipriviersberg, where owners ask for garden offices, pool houses and granny flats, often on plinths or a stepped slab. New Redruth and Brackendowns add wendy houses and rooms for older children. Thokoza and Palm Ridge build nutec rental rooms and second units. Alrode, one of the larger industrial areas on the East Rand, needs site offices, guard huts and prefab buildings, and also holds panel suppliers and erectors. The ridge catches summer lightning and hail, and winter mornings are cold and clear.

In Alberton, granny flats are asked for by:

  • Backyard landlords and families: a 1 or 2 bedroom unit on the plot let out for steady monthly rent
  • Contractors and mines: a show unit or caretaker's cottage on a housing development while it is built

See prefab homes in Alberton or foundations and slabs in Alberton if you need them.
Is council approval needed in Alberton?
Check with the Alberton council before you buy. A dwelling needs approved plans under SANS 10400, and some small structures may count as minor building work. Approved plans needed: it is a dwelling. Ask each supplier what paperwork they supply with the building.
