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.
