On the ground in Worcester
Nutec houses and steel frame homes are common on farms for workers' families, because fibre cement on a frame is quick and does not rot. In Zwelethemba and Avian Park, wendy houses and nutec rooms add income and space. Wooden cabins suit guest farms near Rawsonville and the Brandvlei area. Ask for insulation and a light coloured roof, because walls without lining get very hot here.
What gets put up around Worcester
Through the Huguenot Tunnel and into the Breede River Valley, Worcester sees heat that Cape Town does not. Summers here are long and very hot, winters cold with frost and snow on the peaks, so prefab rooms need insulation in both directions. Farms around Rawsonville, De Doorns and the Hex River Valley put up staff housing and seasonal worker units, often in light steel frame or nutec. Zwelethemba and Avian Park add backyard rental rooms and family units, while town gardens take wendy houses and granny flats. Plots are mostly flat on stony or sandy ground. Delivery from Cape Town is easy along the N1, and plans go through the Breede Valley municipality.
The requests we see from Worcester usually come from:
