Building conditions in Worcester

Worcester lies in the Breede River Valley, where summers are very hot and winters bring frost in the valley and sometimes snow on the surrounding peaks. Roof insulation, shading and light-coloured roofs help with the heat, while frost can damage concrete and plaster that has not been protected while curing. Rocky, stony ground near the mountains can slow excavation, and sites near the river need checks on drainage. Farms in the valley and the Hex River area need packhouses, sheds, cold stores and worker housing, while in town most work is renovations and additions to older homes. Breede Valley Municipality approves plans, and smallholdings around town keep rural builders busy.
