Africa’s current and future development needs will never be sustainably or timeously achieved with bricks and mortar alone. We need a step-change in the approach to building and the materials that we use. Fortunately, a new generation of sustainable building materials, design technologies and scalable systems are ready to be harnessed. Sustainabuild is bringing these technologies and the future of building to Africa, now. Sustainabuild is a unique group of companies that make up a constructiontech ‘stack’ of complementary next-generation materials and systems that together enable holistic and transformational building solutions. With an integrated approach and capabilities throughout the construction value chain ranging from materials / systems manufacturing & distribution to building information management systems, specialist professional services and contracting, Sustainabuild can substantially reduce risk and realise efficiencies that are impossible to achieve with more traditional, fragmented construction models.

Africa’s enormous development challenge

5. The transition to bio-based materials
The vast need for more sustainable
and scalable means of construction in
Africa will be enabled by the adoption
of renewable, high-performance bio-
based materials and composites that
replace extractive, energy intensive
mineral-based materials such as
masonry, cement and steel.

6. The Past The Future
Bricks & Mortar Modular Composite Systems
rapid, green, clean, precise, light, zero water, zero cement,
zero waste, modular, moveable, re-usable, appropriate & dignified.
slow, dirty, heavy, inconsistent, water and energy intensive,
extractive, wasteful, non-recyclable, poor performance.
