Supplies & services in Gauteng: local notes
Bricklaying teams quote across both metros, usually per square metre or per 1,000 bricks laid, and paving contractors are busiest on driveways in Centurion, Kempton Park and Roodepoort. Plaster and building sand arrive by tipper from pits around Meyerton, Walkerville and the West Rand. Fire bricks for braais and pizza ovens are sold through refractory suppliers in the East Rand, and mobile repairers rebuild worn moulds and swap vibrator motors on site.
Gauteng: the building, the weather and the yards
Johannesburg started out with a brickfields of its own, and the province has never stopped building. Today the demand is spread across township extensions in Soshanguve, Tembisa and Diepsloot, back rooms and boundary walls in Soweto and Mamelodi, estates and complexes in Midrand, Centurion and Lanseria, and factories from Germiston to Rosslyn. Cement brick and block yards sit on the edge of nearly every township, many of them small businesses running an egg-laying machine on a home slab, while clay brickyards and machine sellers work from the industrial belts. Sand comes in by tipper from pits south and west of the metros. Highveld frost in winter and violent summer storms are the two things to cover fresh bricks against.
The requests we see from Gauteng usually come from:
- Homeowners: interlocking bricks for a garden wall, an outbuilding or a rural family house
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a small builder trying dry stacked interlocking walls on rural houses
- Housing developers and complexes: low cost housing pilots built from stabilised interlocking blocks
