Rooms, cabins & buildings in Midrand: local notes

Site offices are the busiest line in Midrand, hired or bought for the warehouse and housing projects around Waterfall and Lanseria Road, usually on skids and moved by crane truck. Granny flats go up in Vorna Valley, Noordwyk and Halfway Gardens. Prefab classrooms are asked for by fast growing schools in the area, and steel frame buildings suit storerooms and workshops in Kyalami Business Park.

Steel Frame Houses here usually suit family homes, granny flats and extensions. Made or supplied like this: galvanised steel studs and trusses, clad.

What gets put up around Midrand

Halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, Midrand mixes three kinds of prefab job. Waterfall, Kyalami and Carlswald have estates and complexes where outbuildings are tightly controlled, so garden studios, steel frame cottages and small wendy houses must pass the estate's design review as well as the council plan process. Ivory Park, Rabie Ridge and Ebony Park, on the eastern side, build nutec rental rooms and second units on small, crowded stands. Then there is constant construction along the N1 and in Waterfall, where site offices, ablution units and staff camps arrive on crane trucks. Erectors work out of Halfway House and Louwlardia. Midrand sits high and open, so summer hail and lightning strike hard and roofs need good fixing.
