Before you ask for prices in North West
Most asked for in North West: rental rooms near the mines, holiday cabins at Hartbeespoort, farm staff houses. Where the yards and builders are: yards in Rustenburg, Brits and Klerksdorp; many units are built in Gauteng. A useful tip: ask what travel to a western farm adds, and whether the slab is in the price.
For backyard landlords and families, the biggest group here, wooden cabins usually means a lined one room cabin with a shower let to a single tenant. Getting it to site: trucked along the N4 and N14; long gravel roads to farms in the west.

Prefab and timber building in North West
Platinum shapes much of North West. Around Rustenburg, Brits and the mining villages of Bojanala, landlords put up backyard rooms and container units for mine workers, and contractors need site camps that can move as the work does. The Hartbeespoort and Magaliesberg area is a weekend and retirement place, with timber cabins, wendy houses and holiday cottages on hillside plots near the dam. Further west, the maize and cattle country around Lichtenburg, Delareyville and Vryburg wants farm staff housing and stores, while Mahikeng and Potchefstroom add student rooms and classrooms. Summers are hot and stormy, winters frosty and dry. Ask whether a unit must cross gravel farm roads, and check the council's plan rules before you build.
