Prefab and timber building in Welkom
Flat ground and wide streets make Welkom one of the easier places to deliver a prefab unit, though the town's gold mining past has left some ground disturbed. Mine contractors still need site offices and camps, and landlords in Thabong and Odendaalsrus add backyard rooms for workers. Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs ask for wendy houses, granny flats and garden offices. Maize farms around Hennenman and Allanridge order staff housing. Some old mine houses in Virginia are being extended with prefab rooms. Summers bring hail and lightning, and winters are frosty. Suppliers come from local yards or from Bloemfontein and Gauteng, and council plans are needed for living space.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Backyard landlords and families: plans for backyard rental rooms, drawn and approved before they go up
- Homeowners: plans for a garden room or a new family home before the supplier starts
- Contractors and mines: plans for a site camp that will stay on a project for a long time
- Farms and smallholdings: plans for staff housing and farm buildings, checked with the council first
