Building conditions in Potchefstroom

Potchefstroom is a university town on the Mooi River, and parts of the area lie on dolomite. Dolomitic ground can develop sinkholes where water leaks into the soil, so a geotechnical investigation, careful stormwater control and watertight water and sewer connections are important, and the municipality may require a dolomite risk assessment before approving plans. Summers bring thunderstorms and hail, and winters are cold with frost. Student housing, apartment blocks and townhouse complexes are steady sources of work, alongside renovations of older homes near the university. JB Marks Municipality approves building plans, and nearby farms need sheds and outbuildings.
