What gets put up around Northern Cape
Nowhere is a delivery longer than in the Northern Cape, and that shapes every order. A unit built in Kimberley or Upington may still travel hours of tar and gravel to a Karoo farm, a mine near Kathu or Postmasburg, or a guest house in Namaqualand. Mining in the Kalahari iron and manganese belt keeps demand up for site offices, ablution units and contractor camps, while farmers along the Orange River near Kakamas and Keimoes need staff housing for vineyard and fruit work. Kimberley and Kuruman add backyard rooms and granny flats. Summer days are extremely hot, winter nights freeze, wind and dust rarely stop, and building on sand or calcrete needs a solid, well prepared base.
Typical log homes requests in the area come from:
- Contractors and mines: a log office or reception building at a holiday resort development
- Farms and smallholdings: a log farm house or guest cottage near the plantations or dams
- Lodges, guest farms and resorts: log chalets and a main lodge building for a game or guest farm
- Backyard landlords and families: a log cottage let out as holiday accommodation on a big plot
