Getting it right in Sandton
If you only ask one local question in Sandton, make it this: ask whether the crane truck can reach the garden, or if the unit is built on site. The suppliers who answer usually work from erectors and timber yards in Wynberg, Marlboro, Kew and Kramerville.
Weather first: summer hail and lightning, falling branches from big trees, frosty winters. Then the client: in Sandton most requests come from homeowners, usually for a first home on a new plot while the permanent house is planned and built.
Rooms, cabins & buildings in Sandton: local notes
Granny flats in Hyde Park, Inanda and Atholl are often built in light steel frame and plastered to match the main house. Schools along the Rivonia and William Nicol corridors ask about prefab classrooms and halls for temporary space during building work. Office towers rising in Sandton Central and Sunninghill use site offices on skids, set down in tight spaces by crane truck, often on weekends.
Building prefab in Sandton
Large gardens in Bryanston, Hyde Park and Morningside give Sandton its own kind of prefab request: a pool house, a timber garden office, a staff room or a granny flat for a parent, finished well enough to sit beside an expensive house and passed through the council plan process. Complexes in Sunninghill, Lonehill and Rivonia have less space and stricter body corporate rules, so a small wendy or a storeroom is often all that is allowed. Alexandra, beside the Jukskei River, is a different picture, with backyard rooms on tiny stands and narrow lanes. Delivery comes from Wynberg, Marlboro and Kew. Old oaks and jacarandas shade many plots, which helps in summer but drops branches in storms, and hail and lightning are common.
