Building conditions in East London

East London's coastal climate brings humidity, salt air and rain spread through the year, with more falling in summer. Homes near the sea in Nahoon, Gonubie and Quigney need corrosion-resistant fixings, sound roof waterproofing and regular repainting. Clay soils in parts of the city and sloping sites along the river valleys call for proper foundation and stormwater design. Housing includes older homes in Vincent, Berea and Beacon Bay, townhouse complexes, and large township areas such as Mdantsane, where extensions and new rooms are common. Buffalo City Metro approves building plans, and the automotive industry and the industrial development zone support factory, warehouse and commercial building.

Coastal and holiday homes: coastal homes use tiles with clips and corrosion-resistant fixings for wind and salt
Warehouses and workshops: office blocks attached to industrial buildings sometimes use tiled pitched roofs over admin areas
Townhouse complexes: body corporates reroof whole blocks in one tile colour so units stay uniform
