What to know locally in Welkom
Thabong and Odendaalsrus landlords build granny flats and rental rooms. Mine contractors use site offices, change rooms and ablution units. Maize farms order steel frame staff housing and stores.

What gets put up around Welkom
Flat ground and wide streets make Welkom one of the easier places to deliver a prefab unit, though the town's gold mining past has left some ground disturbed. Mine contractors still need site offices and camps, and landlords in Thabong and Odendaalsrus add backyard rooms for workers. Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs ask for wendy houses, granny flats and garden offices. Maize farms around Hennenman and Allanridge order staff housing. Some old mine houses in Virginia are being extended with prefab rooms. Summers bring hail and lightning, and winters are frosty. Suppliers come from local yards or from Bloemfontein and Gauteng, and council plans are needed for living space.
The requests we see from Welkom usually 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
- Contractors and mines: a supervisor's home on a long road or pipeline job that moves along the route
- Farms and smallholdings: a unit for a manager at a remote camp, towed elsewhere when the work moves
