North West notes on supplies & services
Bricklaying teams in Rustenburg and Brits quote per square metre or per 1,000 bricks laid, and paving contractors are busy on driveways and estate roads around Hartbeespoort. Sand comes from local pits and from along the rivers near Brits; ask which is plaster sand and which is building sand. Farm kilns and boilers need fire bricks, and mobile repairers travel from the bigger towns to fix machines in the villages.
North West: the building, the weather and the yards
Platinum money and village self-build drive most brick orders in North West. Along the mining belt from Rustenburg to Brits and Mooinooi, rental rooms, mine housing and new extensions take cement bricks by the truckload. The villages of Bojanala, from Mogwase and Ledig to Madibeng, build family homes in stages, so block yards there sell a few hundred bricks at a time as often as a full load. Potchefstroom, Klerksdorp and Mahikeng have older suburbs in face brick and new housing on their edges, while Lichtenburg and Vryburg serve maize and cattle farms. Dry heat cures cement bricks too fast if they are not kept damp, and the plains get sharp winter frost.
The requests we see from North West usually come from:
- Homeowners: a bricklayer for a boundary wall, a garage or an extra room at the back
- Brickyards and block yards: a yard pointing its customers to bricklayers who know how its bricks lay
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: extra bricklaying teams taken on per m² when a site falls behind
