Building conditions in Pietermaritzburg

Pietermaritzburg sits in a valley in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, with hot summers, frequent thunderstorms and hail, and cold, sometimes frosty winters. Roofs need to cope with heavy downpours, and hail can damage brittle sheeting and skylights. The city centre has many Victorian red-brick buildings, some heritage-protected, which call for careful, like-for-like repairs. Clay soils in parts of the city and slopes on the surrounding hills affect foundation design. Msunduzi Municipality approves building plans. Work ranges from renovations of older homes in Scottsville and Clarendon to new estates around Hilton and Howick, school and government buildings, and farm structures in the Midlands.
