Getting it right 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.
For contractors and mines, the biggest group here, prefab house plans usually means plans for a site camp that will stay on a project for a long time. Getting it to site: units by crane truck up the N2 from Durban or from local yards in Alton.
On the ground in Richards Bay
Foundations on the sandy coastal ground need a compacted base and a slab or plinths that will not settle. Delivery and installation teams in Alton handle container moves and crane lifts. Fibre cement boards and sandwich panels come up from Durban or from local stock. Repairers deal with rusted containers and roofs, termite damage and mould behind cladding, so ask about coated fixings from the start.
Prefab and timber building in Richards Bay
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.
