Building conditions in Mpumalanga

Mpumalanga has two distinct building climates. On the Highveld around eMalahleni, Middelburg, Secunda and Ermelo, winters are cold with frost, summer storms bring hail and lightning, and clay soils call for well-designed foundations. Mining and industrial towns there need worker housing, workshops and commercial buildings. In the Lowveld around Mbombela and White River, the climate is warmer and wetter, with steep sites that often need retaining walls and good stormwater control. Lodges and guesthouses near the Kruger National Park and along the Panorama Route drive hospitality work, while growing suburbs and estates keep home builders busy in both regions.
