Building conditions in Johannesburg

Johannesburg has a huge stock of older homes in suburbs such as Melville, Parkhurst and Kensington, where renovations, extensions, new kitchens and bathrooms make up much of the building work. Many of these houses predate modern building regulations, so contractors often find damp, roof leaks and cracked walls to deal with. Rocky quartzite ridges in some suburbs make excavation slower, while clay soils elsewhere need well-designed foundations. Building plans are submitted to the City of Johannesburg, and heritage rules can apply to buildings older than 60 years. Summer hail and thunderstorms regularly damage roofs, and inner-city conversions add commercial and residential refurbishment work.
