What to know locally in Sandton
Bricklayers in Sandton suburbs should be used to working neatly next to finished gardens and pools, so ask for photos of face brick work. Paving contractors redo driveways in Sunninghill and Paulshof, and fire bricks are popular for braai areas and pizza ovens in Bryanston. Glass blocks come up in bathroom renovations in Illovo. Sand is best ordered in smaller loads where estates limit tipper access.
Sandton: the building, the weather and the yards
Two very different building markets sit side by side in Sandton. In Bryanston, Morningside, Hyde Park and Rivonia, the brick work is renovation: a face brick wing added to a 1970s house, a higher boundary wall, a pool house, or a stoep closed in with matching brick. In Alexandra, across the M1, families build backyard rooms and extra storeys on small stands, mostly in cement maxi bricks and blocks carried in on narrow streets. Tower cranes around the Sandton CBD use blocks by the truckload. Few yards sit in Sandton itself, so deliveries come from Wynberg, Marlboro and Kya Sand. Frost is light here but summer hailstorms can damage uncovered pallets.
The requests we see from Sandton usually come from:
- Homeowners: a bricklayer for a boundary wall, a garage or an extra room at the back
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: extra bricklaying teams taken on per m² when a site falls behind
- Housing developers and complexes: bricklaying crews quoted per unit across a phase of townhouses or RDP houses
