Bricks & blocks in Kimberley: local notes
Galeshewe and Roodepan families build mostly in cement maxi bricks and 140 mm blocks, plastered against the heat. Beaconsfield and older parts of town have clay brick houses, so take a sample when looking for a match. Hadison Park homeowners add boundary walls and paved driveways. Ordering the whole job at once saves a second long-haul delivery.
Kimberley: the building, the weather and the yards
Distance is the first thing to plan for when building in Kimberley. The diamond city is far from the big brick and machine makers, so face bricks, specialist blocks and new machines often arrive by long-haul truck, and delivery is a large part of the price. Locally, cement brick yards in Galeshewe and Roodepan sell maxi bricks and blocks for family homes and rooms, and block yards in town supply builders. Older suburbs keep clay brick houses from the mining years, and owners extending them want a close match. Summers are very hot and dry, so fresh bricks need shade, water and plastic, and winter nights bring frost. Sand is mostly from local pits and the rivers.
Typical cement bricks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: cement bricks for an extension, a garage or a plastered boundary wall
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: bulk cement stock bricks from a nearby yard to cut transport costs
- Municipalities, schools and public works: cement bricks for public works housing, ablution blocks and school classrooms
