Building conditions in Bloemfontein

Expansive clay soils are one of the main building concerns in Bloemfontein. The clay swells in wet summers and shrinks in dry winters, which cracks walls and floors unless foundations are designed for it, often with reinforced footings, raft slabs and articulation joints in the brickwork. Summer thunderstorms bring hail and heavy downpours, while winters are cold and frosty. Housing ranges from older face-brick homes in Westdene and Brandwag to newer estates and townhouse complexes on the edges of the city. Mangaung Metro approves building plans. Renovations, additions and crack repairs are common, alongside work on government, university and hospital buildings.
