Building conditions in Pretoria

Pretoria's older face-brick homes in Brooklyn, Waterkloof and Lynnwood are popular for renovation, with owners adding rooms, patios, modern kitchens and bathrooms. Ground conditions vary a lot: rocky ridges make excavation slow, some areas have expansive clay, and parts of the city, particularly towards Centurion and the west, lie on dolomite where geotechnical reports and specific foundation designs are needed. Building plans go to the City of Tshwane. The east of the city continues to grow with new estates and townhouse complexes, and government, university and hospital buildings bring public work. Summer hail and thunderstorms are a regular test for roofs and waterproofing.
