Building conditions in Middelburg

Middelburg's growth has followed the steel, ferrochrome and coal industries, with suburbs such as Aerorand adding homes, townhouses and estates. Highveld weather brings summer thunderstorms with hail and cold, frosty winters, so roofing must withstand hail and concrete poured in winter needs protection while it cures. Clay soils in parts of the town expand and shrink, so foundations should match the soil on each stand. Older homes near the town centre are regularly renovated, while Mhluzi and Nasaret see extensions and new rooms. Steve Tshwete Municipality approves building plans. Industrial and mining clients need workshops, warehouses and offices built and maintained.
