Concrete Contractors for Johannesburg homes and businesses

Homeowners, builders and developers in Johannesburg need concrete contractors for house foundations, floor slabs, driveways, carports and footings for walls and tanks. Independent contractors working across Gauteng can quote from your approved plans or a site visit, using ready-mix or site-mixed concrete to suit the size of the pour and the soil conditions.

Building conditions in Johannesburg

Johannesburg has a huge stock of older homes in suburbs such as Melville, Parkhurst and Kensington, where renovations, extensions, new kitchens and bathrooms make up much of the building work. Many of these houses predate modern building regulations, so contractors often find damp, roof leaks and cracked walls to deal with. Rocky quartzite ridges in some suburbs make excavation slower, while clay soils elsewhere need well-designed foundations. Building plans are submitted to the City of Johannesburg, and heritage rules can apply to buildings older than 60 years. Summer hail and thunderstorms regularly damage roofs, and inner-city conversions add commercial and residential refurbishment work.

Do I need plans or approval in Johannesburg?
