Local tips for Brits
Common here: farm staff housing, dam-side timber cabins and backyard rental rooms. Ask each supplier or builder about this: ask whether your estate allows timber, and for a delivered price up the slope. Where they work from: yards in Brits and around Hartbeespoort, with many more in Pretoria.
Around Brits the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means a two or three bedroom fibre cement home on your stand, quicker than brick. On the weather side: hot summers with hail and lightning; dry winters with sharp frost in the valleys.
On the ground in Brits
Around Hartbeespoort and Schoemansville, log homes and wooden houses suit the mountain views, but estate rules may limit timber, so ask for the guidelines first. Farms along the Crocodile River ask about nutec houses and container homes for managers. In Brits town, owners add a wendy house for storage or a modular unit for family. Ask for good roof insulation against summer heat.
Sizes run from one room to three bedrooms. Before you agree to anything: council plans, NHBRC for a new home.
Prefab and timber building in Brits
Between the irrigation farms along the Crocodile River and the weekend homes at Hartbeespoort Dam, Brits has a wide range of prefab needs. Farms want staff housing, stores and offices; factories in the industrial area want site offices and canteens; landlords in Letlhabile, Mothutlung and Oukasie add backyard rooms for workers. Around Schoemansville and the dam, owners ask for timber cabins, wendy houses and granny flats, but many estates there have rules on materials and roof colours, so check before you order. Plots on the Magaliesberg slopes can be rocky and steep. Summer brings heat, hail and lightning. Suppliers come from local yards or the short drive from Pretoria, and council plans are needed for living space.
The requests we see from Brits usually come from:
- Homeowners: a two or three bedroom fibre cement home on your stand, quicker than brick
- Farms and smallholdings: staff houses on a farm where termites eat timber and brick is far away
- Backyard landlords and families: insulated nutec rental rooms in the backyard, each with a shower and toilet
- Shops, offices and small businesses: a nutec shop, clinic room or salon on a business stand
