Estates around Hartbeespoort use face brick and retaining blocks on sloping stands, and farms near Coligny and Delareyville build sheds in hollow blocks.

Along the mining belt from Rustenburg to Brits and Mooinooi, rental rooms, mine housing and new extensions take cement bricks by the truckload. The villages of Bojanala, from Mogwase and Ledig to Madibeng, build family homes in stages, so block yards there sell a few hundred bricks at a time as often as a full load.
