Building conditions in Cape Town

Building in Cape Town means planning around winter rain and wind. Most rain falls between May and August, so roofs, parapets and plaster need sound waterproofing, and rising damp in older walls is a frequent repair. The summer south-easter tests roof fixings and loose sheeting, while salt air along the Atlantic Seaboard and False Bay rusts steel lintels, balustrades and fixings. Victorian semis, Bo-Kaap terraces and homes in heritage areas need extra approvals before alterations. The City of Cape Town processes building plans for the whole metro, and renovations, second storeys and granny flats make up much of the work in established suburbs.
