What to know locally in Potchefstroom
Brick makers in Ikageng and Promosa run egg-laying machines on backyard slabs and sell to neighbours. Developers building many student units sometimes look at a block machine for their own use. Ask suppliers about mould options, power, output with your mould and crew, and spares. Frost means a covered curing area is part of the cost of starting.
Building with brick in Potchefstroom
Student housing is a big part of the brick trade in Potchefstroom. Investors build rooms, flats and communes near the university, and owners in Die Bult and Van der Hoff Park convert and extend older homes. Ikageng, Promosa and Mohadin grow with family houses and backyard rooms in cement bricks and blocks, and the farms along the Mooi River and toward Ventersdorp need sheds and stores. The old town has many clay brick buildings, and owners often want face bricks that blend in. Brickyards and block yards sit on the edges of town, and machine sellers come through from Gauteng and Klerksdorp. Winters here are cold, with frost that damages fresh bricks, and summers bring heavy storms.
The requests we see from Potchefstroom usually come from:
- Homeowners: plastic moulds for making your own pavers, stepping stones or garden edging
- Housing developers and complexes: spare moulds to keep machines running through a long housing project
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: an extra machine mould so one machine makes bricks and blocks for a job
