Building conditions in Welkom
Welkom was laid out as a planned mining town, with wide streets and many homes built between the 1950s and the 1980s. As mining has declined, much of the building work is renovation and maintenance rather than new development, along with extensions and backyard rooms in Thabong and other townships. Clay soils in parts of the area expand and shrink, and past mining has caused ground movement in places, so a site check before building or extending is sensible. Summers bring thunderstorms and hail, and winters are cold with frost. Matjhabeng Municipality approves building plans, and the surrounding farms need sheds, stores and farm housing.

Typical cement requests in the area come from:
- Township homes and backyard rooms: families buy cement bag by bag to build backyard rooms, floors and boundary walls
- Homeowners: homeowners buy cement for extension foundations, brickwork, plaster repairs and new paving bedding
- Smallholdings and farms: plot owners use cement for farm sheds, reservoirs, animal pens, floors and borehole plinths
- Shops and offices: contractors order cement for shop floors, block walls and plaster on commercial fit-outs
- Warehouses and workshops: industrial sites buy bulk cement for plinths, floors, block walls and machinery bases
