What to know locally in Midrand
Ivory Park and Kaalfontein have many stands where a small egg-laying machine sells cement bricks straight to the street. The industrial stands around Olifantsfontein and Commercia suit a larger static machine or a small plant with a pan mixer. Smallholdings in Glen Austin and Blue Hills can take an engine driven machine where three phase power is not available. Ask the supplier which moulds come standard and what spares they keep.
Midrand: the building, the weather and the yards
Halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, Midrand has grown on the open land along the N1, and much of the building is new: estates in Waterfall, Kyalami and Carlswald, rows of sectional title complexes in Noordwyk and Vorna Valley, and office and logistics parks near Allandale Road. To the east, Ivory Park, Ebony Park and Rabie Ridge add rooms and rental units in cement bricks bought from small yards or made on the stand. Developers order face brick and plaster bricks in bulk, so ask about the full order up front for colour. Yards sit around Olifantsfontein, Kaalfontein and Halfway House. The ridges catch wind that dries fresh bricks fast in spring, and summer storms here can be violent.
The requests we see from Midrand usually come from:
- Housing developers and complexes: used static machines bought for a single housing phase and resold after
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a used machine to make bricks on a remote site, sold on afterwards
- Homeowners: a cheap used press for making bricks for one building project at home

Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask the yard to hold one batch number for the whole job when ordering face brick. Where they work from: yards around Olifantsfontein, Kaalfontein and Halfway House, off the N1 and R562.
Second Hand Brick Machines usually suit start-ups and yards on a tight budget, made or supplied like this: used manual, electric and static machines.
