OUR MAIN RAW MATERIALS ARE

Treated softwood

The softwood are well treated and dried at a standardized point for the purpose of construction, meaning all of our softwood are able to withstand fungus, termites, mould and rot. Our engineers always supervise and select only the finest samples for usage.

OSB 3

Our commitment to quality and durability of our products is reflected by our selection of using OSB 3 as among main structure elements with it physical characteristics to withstand all harsh conditions required for livable structure. The grade of OSB 3 is rated to withstand heavy duty constructions and high tensile and compression pressure. Giving our houses a very firm, stable, rigid and yet elastic structures which are ideal for durable house.

Cement Fiber Boards

The asbestos free cement fiber boards made off cement and elastic fibers adds a layer of wall strengthening and protection to the interior of the house walls. The cement fiber boards offer an extra safety layer of fire resistance, while it can handle direct fire for 45 minutes before it burns out, while also being a moisture resistance element meaning you can forget about fungus or mould formation on the walls. The combination of this cement fiber board and the interior skeletal of the houses giving the durability to withstand the harsh conditions of the tropical climate.

Gypsum Boards

With Fire and moisture resistant characteristics offers high end finishing to the end product.

Rockwool Insulation

Our insulation materials are made out of rock minerals processed to fine insulating form. This organic minerals gives our materials the breathability with no short or long term side effects.Tropical climate’s are exposed to harsh weather’ the layer of insulations ensure that the house maintains it’s ambient temperature while protecting the interior of the house from heat on hot days and maintaining the house at an ambient temperature in cool days.
