Building conditions in East London

East London's coastal climate brings humidity, salt air and rain spread through the year, with more falling in summer. Homes near the sea in Nahoon, Gonubie and Quigney need corrosion-resistant fixings, sound roof waterproofing and regular repainting. Clay soils in parts of the city and sloping sites along the river valleys call for proper foundation and stormwater design. Housing includes older homes in Vincent, Berea and Beacon Bay, townhouse complexes, and large township areas such as Mdantsane, where extensions and new rooms are common. Buffalo City Metro approves building plans, and the automotive industry and the industrial development zone support factory, warehouse and commercial building.

Homeowners: homeowners order building sand, plaster sand and stone for extensions, walls and new paving
Township homes and backyard rooms: families buy sand and stone by the bakkie or small tipper load for rooms and floors
