What to know locally in KwaZulu-Natal
Small yards in Inanda, Edendale and Madadeni often run an egg-laying machine on a slab beside the house. Machine sellers and engineering workshops in Pinetown, Hammarsdale and Pietermaritzburg stock moulds, mixers and spares. On the coast, the salt air rusts frames, tampers and vibrator housings, so wash machines down and paint bare steel, and a roofed curing area makes life easier through the wet summer.
KwaZulu-Natal: the building, the weather and the yards
Steep hills, coastal damp and a huge rural population make KwaZulu-Natal a province of hollow blocks and retaining walls. Across the hills of Ndwedwe, Msinga and Nongoma, homesteads are built in cement blocks from small local yards, often with the blocks made on site. Durban's townships of Umlazi, KwaMashu and Inanda keep adding rooms, while Umhlanga, Ballito and Cornubia take estate and complex work with face brick and paving. Pietermaritzburg, Newcastle and Richards Bay each have their own yards. On the coast, salt and humidity bring white efflorescence on face brick and rust on machine parts, and summer downpours wash out uncovered bricks. The Midlands and Drakensberg get winter frost.
Typical brick making plants requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: rarely needed for a house; plants supply the yards that homeowners buy from
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a contractor setting up its own plant for a steady stream of large jobs
- Housing developers and complexes: an on-site or nearby plant supplying bricks and blocks for a large housing development

The requests that come up most: hollow blocks for rural homes, retaining blocks on slopes, face brick for estates. When you ask for quotes, on steep rural sites, ask whether the truck can reach the stand or needs a smaller load.
