Before you ask for prices in KwaZulu-Natal
If you only ask one local question in KwaZulu-Natal, make it this: ask for coated roof sheets and fixings near the sea, and how they handle the slope. The suppliers who answer usually work from yards around Durban, Pinetown and Pietermaritzburg; others near Richards Bay.
Around KwaZulu-Natal the largest group asking is backyard landlords and families, which usually means a builder pricing a block of rental rooms or a granny flat in stages. On the weather side: humid summers, heavy rain and coastal salt air; snow and frost in the Berg.
Supplies & services in KwaZulu-Natal: local notes
Fibre cement boards, treated pine and roof sheeting are sold in Durban, Pinetown, Pietermaritzburg, Newcastle and Richards Bay. Near the sea, ask for stainless or coated screws and expect to repaint more often. Steep stands in Durban's western areas often need a pole or stepped foundation rather than a flat slab. Repair teams on the coast spend a lot of their time on rust, rot, mildew and termite damage, especially on older timber rooms.
Sizes run from backyard rooms to family homes. Before you agree to anything: nHBRC registration for new homes.
Building prefab in KwaZulu-Natal
Humidity is the steady enemy of prefab buildings in KwaZulu-Natal. On the coast from Port Shepstone to Ballito and Richards Bay, salt air rusts steel and fixings, and damp gets into any timber that is not sealed. Inland, the Midlands around Howick and Nottingham Road and the Drakensberg foothills near Underberg and Bergville build log cabins, chalets and cottages for guests. Durban townships such as Umlazi, KwaMashu and Inanda add backyard rooms and granny flats on steep stands, and sugar cane and timber farms need staff housing. Steep slopes, heavy summer rain and termites in the warmer areas call for a careful base and treated wood. Plans go to the local municipality before anything is built.
