Mpumalanga notes on homes
On the Highveld, container homes and modular units are common near Kriel, Ogies and Hendrina, where contractors house staff for long jobs. In the Lowveld, timber and log homes on stilts suit the slopes around Sabie, Graskop and Kaapsehoop, where mist and rain keep wood damp, so stain and seal it well. Nutec houses are popular around Siyabuswa and Kabokweni for an extra bedroom, and they need insulation against Lowveld heat.

What gets put up around Mpumalanga
Two very different worlds share Mpumalanga. Up on the Highveld around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda, mining and power station work brings demand for contractor camps, site offices and rental rooms close to the plants. Below the escarpment, Mbombela, White River and Hazyview build for tourism and farming: chalets and staff cottages on lodges along the Kruger boundary, timber cabins on forestry and fruit farms, and wendy houses on smallholdings. In villages around Bushbuckridge and KwaMhlanga families add nutec rooms as money allows. Lowveld termites eat untreated pine, so ask for timber treated to the right hazard class. Steep forestry roads near Sabie and Graskop, Highveld hail and heavy Lowveld rain all shape how a job is planned.
