What gets put up around Potchefstroom
Students make Potchefstroom one of the busiest towns in the province for backyard rooms and garden flats. Owners near the university campus and in Van der Hoff Park and Baillie Park add nutec rooms, steel frame flats and wendy houses to let, while landlords in Ikageng, Promosa and Mohadin build rooms for workers and families. Farms around the Mooi River and toward Ventersdorp ask for staff housing and stores, and the town's schools sometimes add prefab classrooms. Parts of the area lie on dolomite, so the council may ask for a geotechnical report before a new building goes up. Suppliers come from local yards or along the N12. Plan for hail, hot summers and frosty winter nights.
Typical prefabricated homes requests in the area come from:
- Backyard landlords and families: a row of prefab rental units in the backyard, each with its own door and bathroom
- Homeowners: a two or three bedroom prefab home on your stand instead of a brick build
- Schools and creches: teacher housing or a caretaker's cottage on the school grounds
- Farms and smallholdings: staff houses and a manager's cottage put up on a farm without a long building job
