Local tips for Kimberley
Most asked for in Kimberley: insulated backyard rooms, granny flats and farm staff housing. Where the yards and builders are: a few local yards; most homes and kits come from Gauteng or Bloemfontein. A useful tip: ask what insulation is in the walls and roof, and for a delivered price to Kimberley.
Here homeowners lead the requests, typically for a level slab for a garden studio, an extra bedroom or a new prefab home. Plan for the weather: very hot summers, cold winter nights, dry wind and dust; insulate well.
