Building prefab in Eastern Cape
From the Wild Coast to the Karoo, the Eastern Cape covers more kinds of country than most provinces. Gqeberha and East London see steady demand for backyard rooms and granny flats in Motherwell, Mdantsane and the northern areas, plus site offices around the Coega zone and the motor industry. Villages around Mthatha, Butterworth and Lusikisiki build nutec rooms and cottages on open land, often far down gravel roads. Holiday towns such as Jeffreys Bay, Port Alfred and Kenton-on-Sea want timber cabins near the sea, while Karoo farms around Graaff-Reinet and Cradock need staff houses. Expect strong wind, salt on the coast, and sloping, rocky ground in the former Transkei. Some coastal land has environmental limits, so check with the council first.

In Eastern Cape, prefab buildings are asked for by:
- Backyard landlords and families: a workshop or storage building let to small businesses on a large stand
- Homeowners: a large garage, workshop or hobby shed beside the house on a smallholding
- Farms and smallholdings: a wide store for tractors, feed and produce, or a packing shed
- Lodges, guest farms and resorts: a function hall, workshop or vehicle shed at a lodge or game farm
