Western Cape notes on supplies & services
Bricklaying teams across the metro quote per square metre or per 1,000 bricks laid, and paving contractors are busy on driveways in Bellville, Durbanville and Somerset West. Building and plaster sand come by tipper from pits on the Cape Flats and around Malmesbury. Fire bricks go into braais and wood ovens on wine farms near Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, and mobile repairers cover the metro and Boland.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Western Cape
Winter rain, not frost, is the main enemy of fresh bricks in the Western Cape. From May to August, curing rows in the Cape Flats and Winelands need covering, and bricklayers plan around wet weeks. The metro builds everywhere at once: backyard rooms in Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain and Delft, complexes in Parklands, Kraaifontein and Somerset West, and alterations to Victorian homes in the Southern Suburbs. Sand has long come from the Philippi area and the dunes of the Cape Flats, and clay brickyards work the shale belt north of the city. Stellenbosch, Paarl, Worcester and George add wine farms, student housing and Garden Route homes, and the south easter carries salt spray well inland.
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
