On the ground in Sandton
Granny flats in Hyde Park, Inanda and Atholl are often built in light steel frame and plastered to match the main house. Schools along the Rivonia and William Nicol corridors ask about prefab classrooms and halls for temporary space during building work. Office towers rising in Sandton Central and Sunninghill use site offices on skids, set down in tight spaces by crane truck, often on weekends.
Prefab and timber building in Sandton
Large gardens in Bryanston, Hyde Park and Morningside give Sandton its own kind of prefab request: a pool house, a timber garden office, a staff room or a granny flat for a parent, finished well enough to sit beside an expensive house and passed through the council plan process. Complexes in Sunninghill, Lonehill and Rivonia have less space and stricter body corporate rules, so a small wendy or a storeroom is often all that is allowed. Alexandra, beside the Jukskei River, is a different picture, with backyard rooms on tiny stands and narrow lanes. Delivery comes from Wynberg, Marlboro and Kew. Old oaks and jacarandas shade many plots, which helps in summer but drops branches in storms, and hail and lightning are common.
Typical site offices and prefab offices requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a home office or workshop unit dropped onto a large plot or smallholding
- Shops, offices and small businesses: a sales office, security office or small shop unit on a business stand
- Backyard landlords and families: an on-site office for a caretaker managing a block of backyard rental rooms
- Schools and creches: a temporary admin office while the school's main block is renovated
