House designs in Welkom: local notes
Owners of ex-mine houses in Jim Fouche and Dagbreek often start with a two or three bedroom bungalow and ask for a plan that adds a bedroom, a garage and a covered patio without breaking building lines. Thabong and Bronville families want core houses that can grow in stages. The wide stands also suit a granny flat, and rental demand from mine contractors keeps those requests coming.
Homes and buildings in Welkom
Welkom was planned in the late 1940s as a mining town on a flat plain, with circular streets and traffic circles centred on a hub, and its houses from that period are small face-brick bungalows on generous stands, many now being altered or sold. Mine houses in Riebeeckstad, Jim Fouche and Dagbreek share the area with newer lifestyle sections in Bedelia and Flamingo Park. Thabong, Bronville and Odendaalsrus have township houses being extended. Ground above old gold workings and under tailings dumps can be unstable, so most drawings begin with a site check. Draughtspersons in Welkom work for the whole Matjhabeng area.
