Before you ask for prices in KwaZulu-Natal
If you only ask one local question in KwaZulu-Natal, make it this: ask for coated roof sheets and fixings near the sea, and how they handle the slope. The suppliers who answer usually work from yards around Durban, Pinetown and Pietermaritzburg; others near Richards Bay.
Here backyard landlords and families lead the requests, typically for a towable unit let to a single tenant and moved off when no longer needed. Plan for the weather: humid summers, heavy rain and coastal salt air; snow and frost in the Berg.
KwaZulu-Natal notes on rooms, cabins & buildings
Schools across the province use prefab classrooms, from rural Zululand to fast growing areas near Cornubia and Ballito. Contractors at Richards Bay, the Durban harbour and near King Shaka airport hire site offices and ablution units. Wooden cabins and chalets suit guest farms near Underberg, Himeville and the Champagne Valley, and granny flats in Durban North, Amanzimtoti and Scottburgh are often let to holiday visitors or students.
Sizes run from caravan-size units to long towed homes. Before you agree to anything: roadworthy to tow; check council rules to live.
What gets put up around KwaZulu-Natal
Humidity is the steady enemy of prefab buildings in KwaZulu-Natal. On the coast from Port Shepstone to Ballito and Richards Bay, salt air rusts steel and fixings, and damp gets into any timber that is not sealed. Inland, the Midlands around Howick and Nottingham Road and the Drakensberg foothills near Underberg and Bergville build log cabins, chalets and cottages for guests. Durban townships such as Umlazi, KwaMashu and Inanda add backyard rooms and granny flats on steep stands, and sugar cane and timber farms need staff housing. Steep slopes, heavy summer rain and termites in the warmer areas call for a careful base and treated wood. Plans go to the local municipality before anything is built.
In KwaZulu-Natal, mobile homes are asked for by:
- 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
- Farms and smallholdings: a unit for a manager at a remote camp, towed elsewhere when the work moves
