Strand

Coastal builds done properly in Strand.

Salt air, southeasterly wind and beachfront stands need the right detailing. We build and renovate homes in Strand that last.

Local knowledge

Building in Strand

Strand homes sit between the mountain and the sea — and both of them attack the building. We specify and detail for the coast: stainless fixings, marine-grade aluminium, drained-and-back-ventilated facades, and roofs built to the wind loads this stretch of False Bay actually sees.

  • Salt-air material specification: stainless steel, marine aluminium, fibre-cement claddings
  • Wind-uplift roof detailing for beachfront and exposed sites
  • Damp-proofing and waterproofing systems suited to high humidity
  • Coastal estate approvals along Beach Road and Greenways

Strand questions we get

Do coastal builds cost more?

Yes — typically 5–10% more in materials. Stainless fixings, marine-grade aluminium and upgraded waterproofing pay back many times over in lifespan.

Can you renovate older Strand homes?

Often the best value in Strand. We re-roof, re-waterproof, open the plan and bring older homes up to current spec without rebuilding.

Do you handle waterfront approvals?

Yes — we work with the City of Cape Town and any applicable coastal management line consultations.
