What to know locally in KwaZulu-Natal
Schools across the province use prefab classrooms, from rural Zululand to fast growing areas near Cornubia and Ballito. Contractors at Richards Bay, the Durban harbour and near King Shaka airport hire site offices and ablution units. Wooden cabins and chalets suit guest farms near Underberg, Himeville and the Champagne Valley, and granny flats in Durban North, Amanzimtoti and Scottburgh are often let to holiday visitors or students.
Park Homes here usually suit homes, staff housing, offices and clinics. Made or supplied like this: factory-built unit on a chassis or skids.
What gets put up around KwaZulu-Natal
Humidity is the steady enemy of prefab buildings in KwaZulu-Natal. On the coast from Port Shepstone to Ballito and Richards Bay, salt air rusts steel and fixings, and damp gets into any timber that is not sealed. Inland, the Midlands around Howick and Nottingham Road and the Drakensberg foothills near Underberg and Bergville build log cabins, chalets and cottages for guests. Durban townships such as Umlazi, KwaMashu and Inanda add backyard rooms and granny flats on steep stands, and sugar cane and timber farms need staff housing. Steep slopes, heavy summer rain and termites in the warmer areas call for a careful base and treated wood. Plans go to the local municipality before anything is built.
The requests we see from KwaZulu-Natal usually come from:

- Farms and smallholdings: staff housing or a farm office placed near the sheds and moved when needed

Ask each supplier or builder about this: ask for coated roof sheets and fixings near the sea, and how they handle the slope. Where they work from: yards around Durban, Pinetown and Pietermaritzburg; others near Richards Bay.
Weather first: humid summers, heavy rain and coastal salt air; snow and frost in the Berg. Then the client: in KwaZulu-Natal most requests come from backyard landlords and families, usually for a 12 m unit with a bathroom let out as a self-contained rental.
