EcoBuilding - Affordable Housing, optimized for African conditions
Affordable Living, Maximized Comfort
At EcoBuilding Africa, we are dedicated to reducing the total cost per square meter as much as possible without compromising on the quality of life. Our mission is to provide the highest standard of living for our targeted low-income residents, ensuring that affordability does not mean sacrificing comfort, convenience, or safety. We believe everyone deserves a home that enhances their life, and we strive to make that a reality.
We are currently in a conceptual phase of a large project in a suburb to Kampala. Its about 6,000 to 8,000 apartments for low income takers and 2,000 units for mid income takers. The project will be finished end of 2027. We are in discussion for further 50,000 apartments. Over time we will enter Tanzania as well
Building Concept
Light Gauge Steel - LGS
The development over the last years when it comes to LGS building concept has gone forward to now also cover multistore apartment buildings up to 8-10 stores.
LGS construction need about 50% of the time compared to concrete structures with up top 40% in costs savings. The steel element is made of cold rolled steel sheet, 0.6-4mm thickness. All steel elements will be manufactured in our factory close to project site which will be cost saving as well. Wall, floor, ceiling elements will be assamled in our workshop.
Cladding
Wall Cladding
The cladding, both exterior and interior walls, will be covered with a 20-30mm thick concrete plaster applied on a steel mech above a fibre panel of 8mm. The plaster is sprayed over the surface and then automatically smothern with a wall screeding plaster machine.
Needed fibre cement panels will be manufactured in our own factory, close to project site.
Clean Water
Pure Tap water
We install state-of-the-art centralized water treatment units to serve our apartment buildings, ensuring that all incoming water is thoroughly purified. This provides every apartment with excellent tap drinking water, guaranteeing safe, clean, and reliable water for daily use.
We will use a Swedish world reconned company to design and construct the purification plant.
Stove Gas
LPG Stove Gas
All of our apartments come equipped with LPG stove gas, providing a cost-effective cooking solution compared to electric stoves. By offering this energy-efficient option, we help residents lower their living costs while maintaining convenience and functionality in their kitchens.
The central storage tanks will consist of two 20 ton horisontal tanks with automatic water sprinkler systems.
Waste Handling
Recycling for future
At EcoBuilding, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our projects are designed to integrate recycling capabilities and capacities from the very start, ensuring that waste disposal is managed responsibly. A clean and green neighborhood is essential for a high quality of life, and we are committed to making this a reality through innovative, eco-friendly solutions
Solar Power
PV Solar Panel On Roof Top
Each apartment building will have its own electricity generated by photovoltaic (PV) panels installed on the rooftop. Energy needed for the dark hours is stored in batteries located in the ground-floor cellar, ensuring a reliable, eco-friendly power supply for all residents, day and night.
