What gets put up around Newcastle
Cold is what people forget when buying a wendy house in Newcastle. Winters on the northern KZN plateau bring frost and icy winds, and summer storms carry hail and lightning, so an unlined timber room is uncomfortable for months of the year. Madadeni, Osizweni and Blaauwbosch keep a steady demand for nutec rental rooms and family units, while suburbs such as Aviary Hill and Signal Hill add granny flats and garden offices. Factories and steel works use prefab offices and guard huts, and coal mining around Dannhauser and Utrecht brings site camps. Most plots are flat or gently sloping on clay, which swells when wet, so ask about the base. Plans go through the local council.
In Newcastle, prefab buildings are asked for by:

- Backyard landlords and families: a workshop or storage building let to small businesses on a large stand
- Contractors and mines: a temporary workshop and store on a mine or large construction project
- Shops, offices and small businesses: a warehouse, showroom or factory unit on an industrial stand
