Before you ask for prices in Upington
Most asked for in Upington: seasonal farm worker housing, solar site camps and insulated granny flats. Where the yards and builders are: a few local yards; most units come from Gauteng, Kimberley or Cape Town. A useful tip: ask whether the team will travel to erect it, and what insulation is included.
For farms and smallholdings, the biggest group here, modular homes usually means a manager's house or off-grid cottage built in a factory and craned onto the farm. Getting it to site: long hauls along the N10 and N14; loads are often grouped to save cost.
What to know locally in Upington
In Upington, nutec and steel frame homes are chosen because they cope with heat and do not feed termites, but they still need insulation. Container homes on farms near Keimoes and Kakamas need shade, vents and insulation, or they become unbearable in summer. Timber wendy houses dry out fast in the Kalahari sun, so plan to reseal often. Ask for a light coloured roof.
Sizes run one module to a multi-module home. Before you agree to anything: agrément, council plans and NHBRC.
