Building conditions in Free State

The Free State has a continental climate with hot summers, hard winter frosts and frequent summer thunderstorms with hail, so roofs, gutters and concrete curing all need attention. Clay soils in many areas swell and shrink with moisture, which can crack walls and slabs on poorly designed foundations, and engineer advice on footings is worth the cost. Farms make up a large share of building work, from homesteads and staff housing to sheds, stores and workshops. Bloemfontein and Welkom bring suburban renovations, townhouses and commercial projects, while smaller towns rely on local builders and merchants who often deliver materials over long distances.
