A builder can only price a home properly once they know the floor size, the rooms, the ground and the road in. Put all of that in one request for prefabricated homes in Centurion and we pass it to prefab home suppliers and builders covering Centurion and nearby parts of Gauteng.
Centurion and prefabricated homes
Prefabricated homes in Centurion: say what the home is for, the size or number of bedrooms, the type you prefer (timber, nutec, container or modular) and whether you have approved plans and a slab. Suppliers serving Centurion, Gauteng can then quote for the building, delivery, erection and the base.
For the full picture, from frames to finishes, see the prefabricated homes guide.
Before you ask for prices in Centurion
Common here: steel frame granny flats and wendy houses for estates, rental rooms in Olievenhoutbosch. Ask each supplier or builder about this: ask whether the foundation price allows for a dolomite stand and the engineer's design. Where they work from: yards and erectors in Lyttelton, Highveld Techno Park and along the Old Johannesburg Road.
Around Centurion the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means a two or three bedroom prefab home on your stand instead of a brick build. On the weather side: hail and lightning in summer, frost in the Hennops valley in winter.
What to know locally in Centurion
Wendy houses in Eldoraigne, Wierdapark and Rooihuiskraal are often a garden office or a storeroom with a stoep. Modular units and tiny houses appeal to estate owners in Midstream and Copperleaf who want something finished off site with little mess. In Olievenhoutbosch and Mooiplaas, nutec houses and container homes are put up as rental units or first homes, and buyers should ask about insulation, since thin walls get hot under summer sun.
Centurion: the ground, the weather and the yards
Dolomite under parts of Centurion matters more than the colour of the cladding: on some stands the council wants a geotechnical report or an engineer's foundation design before any granny flat or cabin goes up, and a light prefab building does not escape that. Estates such as Irene, Midstream and Southdowns often limit what can stand in a garden, so many owners ask for a neat wendy house or a plastered steel frame unit that matches the house. Olievenhoutbosch has strong demand for backyard rooms. Suppliers in Lyttelton and near the N1 and N14 reach most streets quickly. The Hennops River valley gets frosty, and summer storms from the south west bring hail and lightning.
The requests we see from Centurion usually come from:
- Homeowners: a two or three bedroom prefab home on your stand instead of a brick build
- Backyard landlords and families: a row of prefab rental units in the backyard, each with its own door and bathroom
- Shops, offices and small businesses: a prefab unit for a clinic, salon or small office on a business stand
- Schools and creches: teacher housing or a caretaker's cottage on the school grounds
