What gets put up around Free State
Flat open farmland covers most of the Free State, and much of the prefab work follows the farms. Maize, wheat and cattle farmers around Bethlehem, Reitz, Bothaville and Wesselsbron put up staff houses, offices and stores, while the Eastern Free State near Clarens, Fouriesburg and Golden Gate adds log cabins and holiday chalets among the sandstone hills. Bloemfontein and Botshabelo have steady demand for backyard rental rooms and granny flats, Welkom and Virginia for rooms and site offices on the goldfields, and Sasolburg for contractor units at the plants. Winters are very cold with hard frost and summer brings hail and lightning, so plan insulation and earthing. Ask the municipality about plans before the slab goes down.
Who asks for delivery and installation around Free State, most often first:

- Lodges, guest farms and resorts: units trucked to a remote bush site and craned onto stilts or plinths

Supplies & services in Free State: local notes
Fibre cement boards, IBR sheets and treated pine are sold in Bloemfontein, Welkom, Kroonstad and Bethlehem. Clay soils in parts of the province crack slabs, so ask the contractor how they compact the base. Kit homes suit farms far from a town, where a team builds from pre-cut parts. Crane trucks usually reach farm sites, but check the farm road after rain. Repairers reseal timber after the dry winter and fix hail damage after summer storms.
