Before you ask for prices in Richards Bay
Most asked for in Richards Bay: site offices, container camps and nutec staff housing for industry. Where the yards and builders are: prefab and container suppliers in Alton and Empangeni, more from Durban. A useful tip: ask whether the container or frame has been rust treated for the sea air.
Around Richards Bay the largest group asking is contractors and mines, which usually means a training room for safety induction at a mine or a large building site. On the weather side: hot and humid, summer storms, termites and salt air near the beach.

Granny flats in Arboretum and Veldenvlei house relatives or contract staff. Holiday cabins and lodge units suit the coast at Mtunzini. Schools in Esikhaleni and Empangeni add prefab classrooms when numbers grow. Ask about tie downs for storm winds.

Richards Bay: the ground, the weather and the yards
Port work, smelters and mining contracts give Richards Bay a steady call for site offices, container camps and staff housing on short notice. Contractors at the harbour, in Alton and along the John Ross Highway hire or buy prefab offices, ablution units and stacked containers. At home, Meerensee and Arboretum gardens take wendy houses and granny flats, while Esikhaleni and eNseleni add nutec rental rooms. Sugar cane farms around Felixton and Empangeni house staff in prefab units. The ground is mostly sand, which drains well but needs a properly compacted base. Heat, humidity, termites and salt air near the beach are the cautions here, so ask for treated frames, ventilation and coated roof sheets.
