Building conditions in Western Cape

Building in the Western Cape is shaped by wet winters and a long, exposed coastline. Most rain falls between May and September, so roofs, parapets, plaster and damp-proofing need to cope with prolonged wet spells, and many contractors try to close up structures before winter. Sandy soils on the Cape Flats and along the coast call for careful compaction, while salt air corrodes steel, fixings and roof sheeting near the sea. Strong south-easterly winds affect roof fixing. Cape Town and the Winelands towns have active renovation markets, heritage rules apply in older areas, and farms in the Boland and Karoo regularly add staff housing and outbuildings.
