Building conditions in KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal's coastal belt is hot and humid, so mould, damp walls and corrosion of roof sheeting, steel and fixings are everyday concerns for builders and homeowners near the sea. Heavy summer downpours and the floods of recent years have made stormwater, drainage and retaining walls a priority, especially on the steep slopes common around Durban and the north and south coasts. Inland, the Midlands and northern towns get cold winters, frost and summer hail. Housing ranges from coastal estates and apartment blocks to older suburban homes and rural homesteads, with steady renovation work and new estates north of Durban adding to demand.

Typical home builders requests in the area come from:

Homeowners: owners build new family houses on vacant stands or subdivided plots in established suburbs
Coastal and holiday homes: holiday home owners build on sandy coastal plots with corrosion-resistant fittings and fixings
Security and lifestyle estates: plot owners need builders approved by the estate who follow its design guidelines and rules
Township homes and backyard rooms: families build new houses on serviced stands with registered builders and staged payments
Townhouse complexes: developers appoint NHBRC-registered builders to build and enrol each new unit in a complex
Shops and offices: investors build new rental houses and duplexes as income properties on residential stands

Frequently asked questions

What will my job cost in KwaZulu-Natal?

It depends on the size of the job, the site, the materials and finishes, and travel. Send the form with the details (plans or measurements help) and a building contractor working in KwaZulu-Natal will quote you.

Do I need plans or approval in KwaZulu-Natal?

New buildings, extensions and structural changes need plans approved by the local municipality in your part of KwaZulu-Natal before work starts. Some small works are exempt. Your contractor or a draughtsman can tell you what applies to your job.

How soon can the work start?

Small repairs can often start within days. Larger jobs depend on plan approval, material orders and the contractor's schedule. Ask for the start date and the expected duration in your quote.
