KwaZulu-Natal notes on supplies & services
Bricklaying teams across Durban, Pinetown and Richards Bay quote per square metre or per 1,000 bricks laid, and paving contractors work driveways from Amanzimtoti to Salt Rock. River sand from the Mngeni and Thukela catchments, and crusher sand from local quarries, comes by tipper. Fire bricks go into sugar mill boilers and home braais, and mobile repairers travel the N2 and N3 for motors and worn moulds.
KwaZulu-Natal: the building, the weather and the yards
Steep hills, coastal damp and a huge rural population make KwaZulu-Natal a province of hollow blocks and retaining walls. Across the hills of Ndwedwe, Msinga and Nongoma, homesteads are built in cement blocks from small local yards, often with the blocks made on site. Durban's townships of Umlazi, KwaMashu and Inanda keep adding rooms, while Umhlanga, Ballito and Cornubia take estate and complex work with face brick and paving. Pietermaritzburg, Newcastle and Richards Bay each have their own yards. On the coast, salt and humidity bring white efflorescence on face brick and rust on machine parts, and summer downpours wash out uncovered bricks. The Midlands and Drakensberg get winter frost.
Typical paving contractors requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a new driveway, a path to the back door or paving around a pool
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a paving subcontractor to finish driveways and walkways at handover
- Housing developers and complexes: paved internal roads, parking bays and entrances across a complex
