What to know locally in Benoni
Daveyton and Etwatwa build mostly in cement maxi bricks and 140 mm blocks, plastered on both sides. Lakefield and Farrarmere homes extend in face brick, and the damp ground by the lakes makes a proper damp-proof course important. Plots around Putfontein and Benoni Agricultural Holdings use hollow blocks for sheds and cottages. Rynfield and Northmead complexes use plaster bricks behind face brick.
Benoni: the building, the weather and the yards
Lakes and old mine land give Benoni its shape, and its building follows suit: lakeside homes in Lakefield and Farrarmere, newer estates in Rynfield and Northmead, and smallholdings around Putfontein and Benoni Agricultural Holdings with outbuildings and long walls. Daveyton and Etwatwa to the east keep a large share of the town's builders busy with RDP extensions, rental rooms and double storeys in cement bricks and blocks. Small yards in Daveyton supply much of that demand, while larger yards and machine sellers sit in Benoni South and the industrial stands near the N12. Low ground around the lakes is cold and damp in winter, so fresh bricks there take longer to cure and need frost cover.
The requests we see from Benoni usually come from:
- Homeowners: bricks for an extra room, a garage or a boundary wall round the house
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: regular loads of stock bricks delivered to site in step with the building programme
- New brick-making businesses: a small yard making cement stock bricks to sell to builders in the area
