Before you ask for prices in Richards Bay
Yards and builders serving Richards Bay mostly work from here: prefab and container suppliers in Alton and Empangeni, more from Durban. The requests that come up most: site offices, container camps and nutec staff housing for industry. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the container or frame has been rust treated for the sea air.
For contractors and mines, the biggest group here, site offices and prefab offices usually means the contractor's office, plan room and stores on a building or mine site. Getting it to site: units by crane truck up the N2 from Durban or from local yards in Alton.

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.

Heat, humidity, termites and salt air near the beach are the cautions here, so ask for treated frames, ventilation and coated roof sheets.
