Sandton notes on bricks & blocks
A Bryanston or Morningside renovation usually starts with a loose face brick taken to the yard to find a match, because colour shifts from batch to batch. Boundary walls in Rivonia and Hyde Park are often raised with blocks and plastered, with brick piers. In Alexandra, cement maxi bricks and 140 mm blocks carry most of the backyard rooms. High-rise sites around the CBD use blocks for infill walls between concrete frames.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Sandton
Two very different building markets sit side by side in Sandton. In Bryanston, Morningside, Hyde Park and Rivonia, the brick work is renovation: a face brick wing added to a 1970s house, a higher boundary wall, a pool house, or a stoep closed in with matching brick. In Alexandra, across the M1, families build backyard rooms and extra storeys on small stands, mostly in cement maxi bricks and blocks carried in on narrow streets. Tower cranes around the Sandton CBD use blocks by the truckload. Few yards sit in Sandton itself, so deliveries come from Wynberg, Marlboro and Kya Sand. Frost is light here but summer hailstorms can damage uncovered pallets.
