Building conditions in Mossel Bay

Mossel Bay combines holiday-town housing with an industrial base around the harbour and the gas refinery. Much of the building work is on coastal homes, retirement estates and holiday complexes in Hartenbos, Dana Bay and along the bay, where salt air corrodes steel, fixings and window frames, so galvanised or stainless hardware and good paint systems are worth the cost. Sandy coastal soils are easy to dig but need compaction and suitable foundations. Wind and winter rain test roofs and plaster. Holiday homes often stand empty for months, so maintenance and repairs follow each season. Mossel Bay Municipality approves building plans for the town and surrounding coastal villages.
