Nutec homes for Gauteng stands, from granny flats to family homes
Fibre-cement clad homes that resist rot and termites, go up faster than brick and suit backyards, vacant stands and smallholdings across Gauteng.
What makes a Nutec home different
Nutec boards are fibre-cement sheets fixed to a structural frame. The result is a solid, painted exterior that looks neat, stays stable through Highveld storms and does not need the regular sealing a timber wall demands.
Because the frame goes up on a prepared base, there is less wet building work than with brick. That often means less mess on your property and a shorter time between agreeing the plan and moving in.
- Boards that do not rot or feed termites
- A painted finish you can match to your main house
- Raised foundations that cope with slopes and rocky ground
- Flexible layouts: add a veranda, move a door, change the roof

Questions about Nutec homes
What is a Nutec home?
A Nutec home is built on a light timber or steel frame and clad in fibre-cement boards, commonly called Nutec. The boards do not rot and are not eaten by termites, so the walls need far less upkeep than timber.
Can a Nutec home be a permanent residence?
Yes, when it is properly insulated, ceilinged and finished with a full bathroom and kitchen, and when your municipality has approved the plans. Many families live in Nutec homes full time.
Do I need approval to build one in Gauteng?
Usually yes. A building people sleep in generally needs approved plans, and a second dwelling on your stand must comply with your municipality zoning scheme. Check with your municipality, and with your estate or HOA if you live in one.
Can you build on a sloping or rocky stand?
Often, yes. Raised foundations on poles or pillars suit slopes, and we plan around the ground. Send photos of the site and we will tell you what to expect.
