Building conditions in Durban

Durban's hot, humid climate shapes how buildings age. Damp and mould affect poorly ventilated homes, timber is vulnerable to termites and borer, and salt air near the beachfront, the Bluff and Umhlanga corrodes steel, fixings and balustrades quickly. Heavy summer downpours test roof waterproofing and stormwater systems, and steep sites on the Berea and in the western suburbs often need retaining walls and engineered foundations. Housing ranges from older bungalows and colonial homes to apartment blocks and townhouse complexes. eThekwini Municipality approves building plans, and renovations, waterproofing, re-roofing and upgrades to sectional-title buildings make up a large share of local work.

Typical building sand and stone requests in the area come from:

Homeowners: homeowners order building sand, plaster sand and stone for extensions, walls and new paving
Coastal and holiday homes: coastal builders choose clean, washed sand, since salty or dirty sand weakens plaster and concrete
Townhouse complexes: complexes buy sand and crusher dust for paving repairs, plaster work and boundary wall fixes
Township homes and backyard rooms: families buy sand and stone by the bakkie or small tipper load for rooms and floors
Shops and offices: contractors order sand and stone for shop floors, block walls, parking areas and plaster
Warehouses and workshops: industrial sites need large loads of stone, sand and G5 for floor slabs, bases and yards
