For homeowners, the biggest group here, kit homes usually means a garden studio or extra bedroom kit put together over a few weekends. Getting it to site: kits by flatbed from local yards or along the N2 from Gqeberha.

Prefab and timber building in East London
Humid coastal air and a long, wet summer make East London harder on timber than people expect. Wendy houses in Nahoon, Vincent and Beacon Bay need sealing more often than inland, and salt reaches roof screws and gutters well back from the beach. Mdantsane, Duncan Village and Scenery Park keep a steady call for nutec rental rooms and family units on small stands, while Gonubie and the Wild Coast resorts at Cintsa and Kei Mouth ask for holiday cabins and chalets. Factories at West Bank and Wilsonia use site offices and prefab stores. Hilly suburbs need a level base before delivery, termites are active on the warm coast, and Buffalo City expects plans for anything lived in.
