Prefab and timber building in Randfontein
Smallholdings ring Randfontein, and they drive much of the prefab work: staff rooms, timber cottages, storerooms and steel frame sheds on plots towards Hillside, Badirile and Westonaria, where there is space for a truck to turn. In town, Greenhills, Randgate and Culemborg Park add granny flats and wendy houses to older homes, and Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus build nutec rooms to rent out. Mines and rehabilitation projects nearby hire site offices and camp units. Dolomite underlies parts of the far West Rand, so ask the council whether your stand needs a geotechnical report.
