Building prefab in Brits
Between the irrigation farms along the Crocodile River and the weekend homes at Hartbeespoort Dam, Brits has a wide range of prefab needs. Farms want staff housing, stores and offices; factories in the industrial area want site offices and canteens; landlords in Letlhabile, Mothutlung and Oukasie add backyard rooms for workers.
