What gets put up around Durban
Termites and humidity drive most prefab choices in Durban. Untreated pine sitting on damp ground does not last here, so buyers in Chatsworth, Phoenix and Umlazi often pick nutec rooms on a slab, or timber with H3 cladding and H4 bearers kept off the soil. Backyard rental rooms are a big part of the market in KwaMashu, Inanda and Lamontville, while wendy houses fill gardens in Durban North, Westville and Morningside as studios and staff rooms. Near the beachfront, the Bluff and Umhlanga, salt air eats roof sheets and screws, so ask for coated sheeting and galvanised or stainless fixings. Steep stands on the Berea need a level base first, and the council expects plans for anything lived in.
Who asks for steel frame houses around Durban, most often first:
- Homeowners: a family home on a suburban stand, framed faster than brick, with the same finishes
- Backyard landlords and families: a row of LSF rental units built quickly on a cleared township stand
- Shops, offices and small businesses: a clinic, shop or office building with wide openings and a light frame
- Contractors and mines: staff housing at a mine or plant, built to last longer than park homes
