Building prefab in Pietermaritzburg

Sitting in a bowl below the Midlands escarpment, Pietermaritzburg gets hot, still summers and cold winter mornings with frost, so insulation matters more than most buyers expect. Thin wendy houses and nutec rooms without lining become ovens in January and fridges in July. Student rooms and granny flats are a steady line around Scottsville and Pelham, close to the university, while Edendale, Imbali and Northdale add backyard rooms and family units. Farms and guest cottages towards Hilton, Howick and the Midlands ask for timber cabins and staff housing. Summer thunderstorms bring hail and lightning, termites work in the warmer valleys, and Msunduzi expects plans for anything lived in. Suppliers in Mkondeni and Willowton serve most jobs.
