Supplies & services in KwaZulu-Natal: local notes
Bricklaying teams across Durban, Pinetown and Richards Bay quote per square metre or per 1,000 bricks laid, and paving contractors work driveways from Amanzimtoti to Salt Rock. River sand from the Mngeni and Thukela catchments, and crusher sand from local quarries, comes by tipper. Fire bricks go into sugar mill boilers and home braais, and mobile repairers travel the N2 and N3 for motors and worn moulds.
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.

Local tips for KwaZulu-Natal
Common here: hollow blocks for rural homes, retaining blocks on slopes, face brick for estates. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: on steep rural sites, ask whether the truck can reach the stand or needs a smaller load. Where they work from: block yards across the townships and rural towns; bigger yards near Durban and PMB.
Around KwaZulu-Natal the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means one delivered load of bricks for an extension, a garage or a boundary wall. Before you agree to anything: ask for MPa and SANS 1215 or SANS 227 tests. Getting stock here: yards deliver along the N2 and N3; rural loads up steep gravel roads by small truck.
