The main wooden cabins page explains the options, the rules and the costs in more detail.
On the ground in Pretoria
Prefab classrooms are common in Pretoria, with schools in Mamelodi, Olievenhoutbosch and Soshanguve adding rooms when enrolment grows, and the Department and governing bodies both ask for quotes. Granny flats go up in Montana, Sinoville and Wonderboom South for parents and students near the universities in Hatfield. Site offices and prefab buildings serve the industrial parks in Rosslyn and along the N4, often on skids moved by crane truck.
Wooden Cabins here usually suit holiday cabins, guest rooms and studios. Made or supplied like this: treated pine frame clad in boards, or logs.
Building prefab in Pretoria
Pretoria stretches a long way, and the prefab work changes from one end to the other. Mamelodi, Soshanguve, Atteridgeville and Hammanskraal want backyard rooms and nutec houses that can be let out, often added one room at a time. The eastern suburbs, from Faerie Glen to Moreleta Park, ask for wendy houses, garden offices and lapas on sloping stands that step down the ridges, while smallholdings in Kameeldrift and Roodeplaat put up timber cottages and staff rooms. Many security estates set strict rules on outbuildings, so read the house rules before ordering. Yards and erectors sit in Rosslyn, Silverton and Pretoria West. Summer storms can be violent, with hail and lightning, and winters are dry with frosty mornings in the low parts of the city.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Backyard landlords and families: a lined one room cabin with a shower let to a single tenant
- Homeowners: a garden studio, guest room or home office in timber at the bottom of the garden
- Farms and smallholdings: a weekend cabin or worker's cottage on a farm, put up without heavy machines
- Schools and creches: a timber reading room or music room on a quiet corner of the grounds
