Building conditions in Port Elizabeth

Nelson Mandela Bay is known for strong wind, and salty breezes off Algoa Bay corrode roofs, gutters, window frames and fixings, especially in Summerstrand, Walmer and along the beachfront. Roof sheeting and tiles need proper fixing, and coastal homes benefit from marine-grade hardware and regular repainting. Soils range from coastal sand to clay and calcrete inland. Housing includes older homes in Walmer and Newton Park, townhouse complexes, and fast-growing township areas such as Motherwell, where extensions are common. The metro approves building plans for Gqeberha, Kariega and Despatch. The motor industry and the Coega zone support factory and warehouse building, while homeowners often renovate and extend.

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
