Gauteng notes on rooms, cabins & buildings
Granny flats behind houses in Roodepoort, Edenvale and Pretoria North are usually steel frame or nutec on a slab, with a small kitchen and shower. Schools in Ekurhuleni and Tshwane add prefab classrooms when enrolment jumps, and building sites from Midrand to Lanseria hire site offices on skids. Wooden cabins suit smallholdings around Muldersdrift, Cullinan and Walkerville, where owners want a guest room or a farm office away from the main house.
What gets put up around Gauteng
Space on a Gauteng stand is money, and that drives most prefab work here. Backyard rental rooms in nutec and timber go up behind family homes in Soweto, Tembisa, Mamelodi and Diepsloot, often in rows of three or four, while suburban owners in Randburg, Centurion and Benoni add wendy houses, garden offices and granny flats for parents or grown children. Contractors along the N1 and R21 corridors hire site offices and ablution units by the month. Many security estates restrict timber or steel frame homes, so read the estate rules before you order. Clay soils in parts of the Highveld crack a slab if the base is poorly prepared, and summer hail and lightning test every roof sheet and earth connection.
Who asks for granny flats around Gauteng, most often first:

- Contractors and mines: a show unit or caretaker's cottage on a housing development while it is built
- Schools and creches: a cottage on school grounds for a caretaker or a teacher living on site
