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 construction companies requests in the area come from:

Township homes and backyard rooms: construction companies build housing projects, community halls and small shopping centres
Homeowners: larger house projects with basements, double storeys or complex structures suit established construction firms
Smallholdings and farms: farm owners hire construction firms for packsheds, barns, staff housing and dams
Shops and offices: owners appoint construction companies for offices, retail centres and shop fit-outs
Warehouses and workshops: businesses hire construction companies for warehouses, steel portal frames and factory extensions
