Ease and speed of assembly approximate erection time for 100m2 home 6 weeks. Easily transportable all components manually handleable, can be palletised, containerised and transported to remote and inaccessible sites. Capable of being dismantled and re-assembled. Can be built on steep slopes and difficult sites at minimal additional cost, cost of earthworks and excavations substantially reduced.


Pre-engineered and quality controlled at factory no inferior materials or workmanship usually encountered on building sites.


Robust and durable due to massive density and size of logs and other components. Long lasting examples exist of log buildings in excess of 200 years old.


Absorbs ground movement on unstable soil, earthquakes etc. without structural damage. Ease of additions and alterations to structure can also be built on raised poles which in effect creates roof over future building below at no additional cost and with absolutely no disturbance to inhabitants during additions. Simple and inexpensive maintenance. Meets requirements of National Building Regulations. Meets requirements of SABS Code of Practice 082. SABS tested for structural, fire resistance, water penetration, thermal insulation. Capable of concealing electrical wiring within walls. Self-compensating devices incorporated in walls ensure no gaps formed due to shrinkage of timber and maintains constant overall height of wall. Timber treated to SABS specifications eliminates insect and fungal attack.

No wet work involved. Cost efficient due to pre-manufactured components reducing labour costs and material wastage on site.

Reliability of supply in terms of quantity and quality.

Suitable for cyclonic conditions.
