On the ground in Pretoria
Prefab classrooms are common in Pretoria, with schools in Mamelodi, Olievenhoutbosch and Soshanguve adding rooms when enrolment grows, and the Department and governing bodies both ask for quotes. Granny flats go up in Montana, Sinoville and Wonderboom South for parents and students near the universities in Hatfield. Site offices and prefab buildings serve the industrial parks in Rosslyn and along the N4, often on skids moved by crane truck.
Pretoria: the ground, the weather and the yards
Pretoria stretches a long way, and the prefab work changes from one end to the other. Mamelodi, Soshanguve, Atteridgeville and Hammanskraal want backyard rooms and nutec houses that can be let out, often added one room at a time. The eastern suburbs, from Faerie Glen to Moreleta Park, ask for wendy houses, garden offices and lapas on sloping stands that step down the ridges, while smallholdings in Kameeldrift and Roodeplaat put up timber cottages and staff rooms. Many security estates set strict rules on outbuildings, so read the house rules before ordering. Yards and erectors sit in Rosslyn, Silverton and Pretoria West. Summer storms can be violent, with hail and lightning, and winters are dry with frosty mornings in the low parts of the city.
Typical mobile homes requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Farms and smallholdings: a unit for a manager at a remote camp, towed elsewhere when the work moves
- Schools and creches: a mobile sick bay or office for an outreach programme in rural areas
