What gets put up around Ladysmith
On the N3 halfway between Durban and Johannesburg, Ladysmith is easy for prefab suppliers to reach from either side. Ezakheni and Steadville keep up a demand for nutec rental rooms and family homes, while town gardens add wendy houses and granny flats. Farms around Elandslaagte, Roosboom and Colenso put up staff housing and stores, and the northern Drakensberg resorts west of town ask for timber cabins and chalets. The Klip River has flooded parts of town before, so check whether a plot lies low before choosing a base. Summers are hot with heavy storms and hail, winters bring frost, and Van Reenen's Pass gets mist and wind. Plans go to the Alfred Duma council.
Typical kit homes requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a garden studio or extra bedroom kit put together over a few weekends
- Backyard landlords and families: matching kits for a row of rental rooms, built one at a time as money allows
- Farms and smallholdings: staff cottage and store kits trucked out and built by the farm's own team
- Lodges, guest farms and resorts: cabin kits built on stilts or plinths where a finished unit cannot be craned in
