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: a bricklayer for a boundary wall, a garage or an extra room at the back
- 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
