Building conditions in Gauteng

Gauteng is the country's biggest building market, with steady demand for new homes, extensions, townhouse complexes and commercial work. Much of the province sits on Highveld clays that swell when wet and shrink in winter, so foundations often need engineer input, and parts of the West Rand, Centurion and Pretoria lie on dolomite, where geotechnical investigations and stricter design rules apply. Summer brings intense thunderstorms and hail, which test roofs, gutters and waterproofing, and frosty winter nights affect curing. Building plans go through the relevant metro or local municipality. Face brick, plaster and paint, and concrete roof tiles dominate the housing stock.
