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.
Building with brick in Benoni
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.
Typical clay bricks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: clay stock bricks for a plastered house, garage or room addition
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: full truck loads of clay stock bricks booked ahead for each house
- New brick-making businesses: resellers buying clay bricks by the truck load for local builders
