Eastern Cape notes on supplies & services
Bricklaying teams in Gqeberha, East London and Mthatha quote per square metre or per 1,000 bricks laid, and paving contractors work driveways and complexes in both metros. Building sand comes from coastal pits and inland rivers; ask for washed sand where salt is a concern. Fire bricks are used in farm boilers and pizza ovens at coastal guest houses, and mobile repairers cover the N2 towns.
Building with brick in Eastern Cape
Two very different building worlds sit side by side in the Eastern Cape. Along the coast, Gqeberha and East London build suburbs, complexes and factories, holiday homes go up at Jeffreys Bay, Kenton-on-Sea and Port Alfred, and townships such as Motherwell, Kwazakhele and Mdantsane keep extending. Inland and in the former Transkei, around Mthatha, Butterworth, Lusikisiki and Mount Frere, rural homes and rondavels are built in cement blocks from village yards, many of them one-machine businesses. The Karoo towns of Graaff-Reinet and Cradock build farm sheds and match old brickwork. Strong wind dries fresh bricks fast, salt air stains face brick on the coast, and the high ground near Komani gets frost.
The requests we see from Eastern Cape usually come from:
- Homeowners: one delivered load of bricks for an extension, a garage or a boundary wall
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: regular pallets of stock bricks and blocks delivered to several sites a month
- New brick-making businesses: a new block yard checking what nearby suppliers charge before setting its prices
