Building prefab in Free State
Flat open farmland covers most of the Free State, and much of the prefab work follows the farms. Maize, wheat and cattle farmers around Bethlehem, Reitz, Bothaville and Wesselsbron put up staff houses, offices and stores, while the Eastern Free State near Clarens, Fouriesburg and Golden Gate adds log cabins and holiday chalets among the sandstone hills. Bloemfontein and Botshabelo have steady demand for backyard rental rooms and granny flats, Welkom and Virginia for rooms and site offices on the goldfields, and Sasolburg for contractor units at the plants. Winters are very cold with hard frost and summer brings hail and lightning, so plan insulation and earthing. Ask the municipality about plans before the slab goes down.
Who asks for mobile homes around Free State, most often first:
- Farms and smallholdings: a unit for a manager at a remote camp, towed elsewhere when the work moves
- Backyard landlords and families: a towable unit let to a single tenant and moved off when no longer needed
- Homeowners: a first home on a new plot while the permanent house is planned and built
- Lodges, guest farms and resorts: extra sleeping units for busy seasons at a campsite or guest farm
