On the ground in Centurion
Wendy houses in Eldoraigne, Wierdapark and Rooihuiskraal are often a garden office or a storeroom with a stoep. Modular units and tiny houses appeal to estate owners in Midstream and Copperleaf who want something finished off site with little mess. In Olievenhoutbosch and Mooiplaas, nutec houses and container homes are put up as rental units or first homes, and buyers should ask about insulation, since thin walls get hot under summer sun.
Wooden Houses here usually suit family homes, holiday and farm houses. Made or supplied like this: treated pine frame, clad and lined.
Centurion: the ground, the weather and the yards
Dolomite under parts of Centurion matters more than the colour of the cladding: on some stands the council wants a geotechnical report or an engineer's foundation design before any granny flat or cabin goes up, and a light prefab building does not escape that. Estates such as Irene, Midstream and Southdowns often limit what can stand in a garden, so many owners ask for a neat wendy house or a plastered steel frame unit that matches the house. Olievenhoutbosch has strong demand for backyard rooms. Suppliers in Lyttelton and near the N1 and N14 reach most streets quickly. The Hennops River valley gets frosty, and summer storms from the south west bring hail and lightning.
The requests we see from Centurion usually come from:

- Backyard landlords and families: a timber cottage to rent out on a large plot or smallholding
- Shops, offices and small businesses: a timber shop, restaurant or venue building on a country road
- Schools and creches: a timber hall, office or classroom block on the school grounds
