Building prefab in Cape Town
Winter rain and the summer south-easter test every prefab building in Cape Town. Cold fronts drive rain sideways for days from May to September, so cladding joints, window seals and roof flashings have to be right, and the Cape Flats sand around Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain, Delft and Philippi holds water when the table rises. Backyard rooms and wendy houses are a huge market there and in Gugulethu and Nyanga, while Southern Suburbs and Atlantic seaboard gardens add studios, home offices and granny flats. Salt air rusts fixings from Sea Point to Muizenberg. The city expects approved plans for anything lived in, and heritage areas have extra rules. Yards in Epping, Montague Gardens and Philippi supply most jobs.
Typical park homes requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a ready-made cottage or extra bedroom unit set down on a level plot at home
- Backyard landlords and families: a 12 m unit with a bathroom let out as a self-contained rental
- Shops, offices and small businesses: a small shop, salon or clinic unit set down on a business stand
- Contractors and mines: a mine or construction camp of linked units for staff and supervisors
