Bricks & blocks in Boksburg: local notes
Vosloorus and Reiger Park build mostly in cement maxi bricks and blocks, then plaster. Sunward Park and Beyers Park homes extend in face brick, and complexes near the East Rand Mall use plaster bricks behind face brick skins. Warehouses in Jet Park and Anderbolt use 190 mm hollow blocks. Retaining blocks are used where estates have been built on old mine land with uneven ground.
Boksburg: the building, the weather and the yards
Boksburg's building market splits between Vosloorus in the south, where families build rooms and double storeys in cement bricks, and the estates and complexes near the East Rand Mall, Sunward Park and Parkdene. Reiger Park and Windmill Park add steady extension work. Near the airport, Jet Park and Witfield are full of warehouses and depots with hollow block walls, and that is where many block yards and machine sellers are found. Old mine land along the N17 and North Rand Road has been turned into estates and business parks. Highveld frost settles on the flat ground in winter, and storms in summer can drop hail, so pallets left on site need cover.
The requests we see from Boksburg 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
- Housing developers and complexes: large orders of matching bricks for a whole phase of houses or a complex
