Estates in Midstream, Irene and Copperleaf often have design rules that name a face brick colour or a plastered finish, so read the estate guidelines before you order. Complexes in Eldoraigne and Wierdapark use plaster bricks and maxi bricks behind plaster. In Olievenhoutbosch most new rooms go up in cement maxi bricks, and boundary walls in Lyttelton and Doringkloof mix concrete blocks with brick piers. Retaining blocks are common on sloping stands in Zwartkop.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Centurion
Dolomite under parts of Centurion shapes how people build here: foundations on some stands need an engineer's design, and that comes before any brick order. Above ground, the town is a mix of large estates such as Irene and Midstream, sectional title complexes in Eldoraigne and Rooihuiskraal, office parks near the N1 and N14, and fast growing housing in Olievenhoutbosch. Developers order face brick and plaster bricks by the pallet for complexes, while Olievenhoutbosch families build rooms in cement maxi bricks from nearby block yards. Lyttelton and the Highveld Techno Park area bring yards and hardware stores close. The Hennops River valley gets cold, with frost on winter mornings, and summer storms roll in quickly from the south west.
The requests we see from Centurion usually come from:
- Housing developers and complexes: large orders of matching bricks for a whole phase of houses or a complex
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: regular loads of stock bricks delivered to site in step with the building programme
- Homeowners: bricks for an extra room, a garage or a boundary wall round the house
