What to know locally in Kimberley
Cement brick yards in Galeshewe and Roodepan often run egg-laying machines on a slab, and buyers in Ritchie and Barkly West look for manual or diesel machines for small runs. Ask the supplier about trucking the machine to Kimberley, spares held locally, output with your mould and crew, and how to cure in hard heat.
Kimberley: the building, the weather and the yards
Distance is the first thing to plan for when building in Kimberley. The diamond city is far from the big brick and machine makers, so face bricks, specialist blocks and new machines often arrive by long-haul truck, and delivery is a large part of the price. Locally, cement brick yards in Galeshewe and Roodepan sell maxi bricks and blocks for family homes and rooms, and block yards in town supply builders. Older suburbs keep clay brick houses from the mining years, and owners extending them want a close match. Summers are very hot and dry, so fresh bricks need shade, water and plastic, and winter nights bring frost. Sand is mostly from local pits and the rivers.
Who asks for brick and block moulds around Kimberley, most often first:
- Homeowners: plastic moulds for making your own pavers, stepping stones or garden edging
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: an extra machine mould so one machine makes bricks and blocks for a job
- Municipalities, schools and public works: moulds for community projects making pavers and blocks for public spaces
