We offer a circular and climate-proof building technology (for emerging economies) based on sustainable wood.
The homes are tailored to local needs and stimulate the local construction industry. The houses store carbon in their wooden construction, making them carbon negative. That way, the CO2 is reduced by 260% compared to concrete houses! In addition, the houses are resistant to flooding and hurricanes.
Creating affordable and sustainable housing
Together with Easy Housing we are building a better future for families in Tanzania. The circular and climate-proof building concept that Easy Housing has developed offers a comfortable, safe and affordable home for everyone. This is the sustainable solution to the housing shortage in Tanzania
Together we offer a circular and climate-proof building technology (for emerging economies) based on sustainable wood. In addition, the blueprints are developed for and we supply certified wood to local construction partners. The homes are tailored to local needs and stimulate the local construction industry.
With the help of Prefab fabrication, construction can be completed faster. There is also better control over quality, safety and coordination of construction projects (much easier than the traditional construction site).
The second advantage is energetic. With prefab wood construction you can design much better on energy. Because wood is light, there is less need for cooling. Wood cools better, so that you are less bothered by the stored heat in the evening and at night, as is the case in stone houses.
With timber construction you can light foundations. Wooden structures come as a whole, which means there is less chance of bad foundations. There are no cracks in the walls as is often the case with stone houses with moderate foundations. Wood is also much easier to repair.
Circular construction has the advantage that the house can be moved or that the materials can be reused. The house is also easier to renovate or expand. You also have relatively little waste on the construction site.
Financial capacity for housing
Financial resources are required to purchase a home. In order to be able to finance homes that are available in a relatively short period of time, a healthy mortgage market must be available.
In order to obtain sufficient financial resources, we have partnerships with banks in Tanzania that provide mortgages. The aim is to provide access to these house loans for the working man and woman. In combination with their own resources, the working man and woman gain faster access to the housing market.
