Building conditions in Durban

Durban's hot, humid climate shapes how buildings age. Damp and mould affect poorly ventilated homes, timber is vulnerable to termites and borer, and salt air near the beachfront, the Bluff and Umhlanga corrodes steel, fixings and balustrades quickly. Heavy summer downpours test roof waterproofing and stormwater systems, and steep sites on the Berea and in the western suburbs often need retaining walls and engineered foundations. Housing ranges from older bungalows and colonial homes to apartment blocks and townhouse complexes. eThekwini Municipality approves building plans, and renovations, waterproofing, re-roofing and upgrades to sectional-title buildings make up a large share of local work.

Shops and offices: shops and offices use face bricks for frontages and cement blocks for internal and rear walls
