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.
Typical nutec houses requests in the area come from:
- Backyard landlords and families: insulated nutec rental rooms in the backyard, each with a shower and toilet
- Homeowners: a two or three bedroom fibre cement home on your stand, quicker than brick
- Contractors and mines: fibre cement site rooms that are taken down and moved to the next job
- Farms and smallholdings: staff houses on a farm where termites eat timber and brick is far away
