What to know locally in Centurion
Bricklayers working the Centurion estates are often used to strict inspections, so ask for a team that knows the estate's building rules. Paving contractors lay a lot of driveways in Rooihuiskraal and Highveld Park, usually 60 mm pavers on a compacted base. Sand comes by tipper from pits west of the town. Glass blocks for bathrooms and stairwells are asked for in renovations around Lyttelton Manor and Clubview.
Centurion: the building, the weather and the yards
Dolomite under parts of Centurion shapes how people build here: foundations on some stands need an engineer's design, and that comes before any brick order. Above ground, the town is a mix of large estates such as Irene and Midstream, sectional title complexes in Eldoraigne and Rooihuiskraal, office parks near the N1 and N14, and fast growing housing in Olievenhoutbosch. Developers order face brick and plaster bricks by the pallet for complexes, while Olievenhoutbosch families build rooms in cement maxi bricks from nearby block yards. Lyttelton and the Highveld Techno Park area bring yards and hardware stores close. The Hennops River valley gets cold, with frost on winter mornings, and summer storms roll in quickly from the south west.
Who asks for bricklayers around Centurion, most often first:
- Housing developers and complexes: bricklaying crews quoted per unit across a phase of townhouses or RDP houses
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: extra bricklaying teams taken on per m² when a site falls behind
- Homeowners: a bricklayer for a boundary wall, a garage or an extra room at the back
Local tips for Centurion
Yards and suppliers serving Centurion mostly work from here: yards and hardware stores around Lyttelton, Highveld and the Olifantsfontein side. The requests that come up most: face and plaster bricks for estates and complexes, maxi bricks in Olievenhoutbosch. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the stand is on dolomite before you order foundation bricks.
Requests range widely: per m², per 1,000 bricks laid or per day. Here, housing developers and complexes lead the requests, typically for bricklaying crews quoted per unit across a phase of townhouses or RDP houses. One local point to raise: close to N1 and N14, so trucks from Pretoria and Midrand yards reach most estates.
