Centurion notes on supplies & services
Bricklayers working the Centurion estates are often used to strict inspections, so ask for a team that knows the estate's building rules. Paving contractors lay a lot of driveways in Rooihuiskraal and Highveld Park, usually 60 mm pavers on a compacted base. Sand comes by tipper from pits west of the town. Glass blocks for bathrooms and stairwells are asked for in renovations around Lyttelton Manor and Clubview.
Building with brick 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.

- Housing developers and complexes: fireplaces and communal braai areas lined with fire bricks across an estate
