Local tips for Johannesburg
If you only ask one local question in Johannesburg, make it this: ask whether the price includes the slab and carrying panels down a narrow side passage. The suppliers who answer usually work from prefab and timber yards along Main Reef Road, in Booysens, City Deep and Crown Mines.
Here backyard landlords and families lead the requests, typically for a row of LSF rental units built quickly on a cleared township stand. Plan for the weather: hail and lightning in summer storms, frost on still winter mornings.
Rooms, cabins & buildings in Johannesburg: local notes
Granny flats are the big one: owners in Pimville, Mofolo and Jabavu add a second unit to earn rent, and suburbs like Linden and Northcliff use them for parents. Site offices are hired for building jobs in the inner city and along the Corridors of Freedom routes, and schools in Lenasia and Eldorado Park ask about prefab classrooms when numbers jump. A small erf leaves little room, so measure the space and the access first.
Building prefab in Johannesburg
Soweto backyards explain a lot about prefab demand in Johannesburg. Behind houses in Orlando, Diepkloof, Meadowlands and Protea Glen, owners put up nutec rooms and timber wendy houses to rent out or to give a grown child a space of their own, usually on a slab squeezed between the main house and the boundary wall. In Melville, Westdene and Kensington the request is more often a garden studio or granny flat that has to clear the council plan process and sit quietly beside an older house. Erectors work out of the industrial strips along Main Reef Road and in Booysens, so delivery is short. Highveld hail and lightning arrive on summer afternoons, so ask about roof sheeting thickness, gutters and earthing.
In Johannesburg, steel frame houses are asked for by:

- Contractors and mines: staff housing at a mine or plant, built to last longer than park homes
