Before you ask for prices in Upington
Common here: seasonal farm worker housing, solar site camps and insulated granny flats. Ask each supplier or builder about this: ask whether the team will travel to erect it, and what insulation is included. Where they work from: a few local yards; most units come from Gauteng, Kimberley or Cape Town.
Weather first: extreme summer heat, dust storms and strong wind; cold winter nights. Then the client: in Upington most requests come from farms and smallholdings, usually for a farm house or staff house built from treated pine near the plantations.
What to know locally in Upington

Container homes on farms near Keimoes and Kakamas need shade, vents and insulation, or they become unbearable in summer. Timber wendy houses dry out fast in the Kalahari sun, so plan to reseal often. Ask for a light coloured roof.
Wooden Houses here usually suit family homes, holiday and farm houses. Made or supplied like this: treated pine frame, clad and lined.
