What to know locally in Midrand
Complexes in Noordwyk, Vorna Valley and Erand Gardens are usually built in plaster bricks or maxi bricks and plastered, with face brick on boundary walls. Waterfall and Kyalami estates may require a set face brick, so order it in one batch. In Ivory Park and Ebony Park most rooms go up in cement maxi bricks or hollow blocks. Retaining blocks are useful on the sloping stands near the Kaalfontein ridge and Glen Austin.
Midrand: the building, the weather and the yards
Halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, Midrand has grown on the open land along the N1, and much of the building is new: estates in Waterfall, Kyalami and Carlswald, rows of sectional title complexes in Noordwyk and Vorna Valley, and office and logistics parks near Allandale Road. To the east, Ivory Park, Ebony Park and Rabie Ridge add rooms and rental units in cement bricks bought from small yards or made on the stand. Developers order face brick and plaster bricks in bulk, so ask about the full order up front for colour. Yards sit around Olifantsfontein, Kaalfontein and Halfway House. The ridges catch wind that dries fresh bricks fast in spring, and summer storms here can be violent.
Typical face bricks requests in the area come from:
- Housing developers and complexes: one colour of face brick across a whole estate for a uniform look
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: matched face bricks for a house build ordered in one batch per job
- Homeowners: a face brick house front or boundary wall that never needs painting
