A US-based firm Tuesday introduced a two-bedroom house made from alternative building materials at a cost of Sh851,400 in an offering targeted at the low end of the market.

International Green Structures (IGS) says it builds homes and office blocks from panels made from compressed rice and wheat husks that are paired with metal framing in what analysts reckon cuts the overall cost of construction by up to 30 per cent and reduces the total time taken to put up a building.

The firm says it has so far received 3,400 orders and will build a panel factory in Thika worth Sh1.3 billion as real estate investors increasingly look at alternative construction materials to cut costs associated with brick and mortar.

"There is an overwhelming demand for housing in Kenya and limited supply in the middle and lower market segment giving IGS optimism of great success," said Julius Nyoike, president IGS Kenya Ltd.

"This technology will provide a second income to rice and wheat farmers as these are the materials used in production of durable panels made of straw," he added.

The two-bedroom house will measure 43 square metres and comes with a toilet, sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and toilet. A larger house of46 square metres is retailing at Sh910,800 while one of 64 square metres is selling for Sh1.2 million.

Two-bedroomed houses in Nairobi's Eastland's are retailing at more than Sh4 million, with rising cost of land being a major factor for the sky-high property prices.

The firm is also targeting to build schools and office blocks using the panels. It will charge Sh5 million for three classes and an office.

This kind of technology has been used extensively in large-scale housing projects in South Africa, Morocco and Egypt and for skyscrapers in Dubai.

American IGS enters Kenya with plans to deliver affordable

The launch of IGS operations is expected to create over 4000 direct and indirect jobs and training opportunities for Kenyan Youth by end of 2015

International Green Structures (IGS), an American manufacturing, engineering and construction firm that provides affordable building solutions using sustainable and renewable materials,

today announced its entry into Kenya. IGS will invest approximately Kshs 527million in its first phase; with longer term plans to build a Kshs1.3 billion manufacturing facility in country located in Thika, Kenya. IGS which becomes the first US Company to enter Kenya after the US-Africa Summit, held early August 2014 in Washington, DC has already spent about KSh130million in market research, technology approval, marketing and prototype units locally.
The Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Land Housing and Urban Development Hon. Charity Ngilu welcomed the initiative reiterating that with the high population increase projected at 42 million, the housing project will meet the rising demand for housing in the country.

"We are targeting to provide building solutions just under Sh9, 000 per square meter by allowing construction companies and developers to culturally adapt the IGStructures for Kenyans in the communities where they live." said Mike McCarthy, IGS President and CEO of IGS.
Prior to this announcement, IGS held high level discussions with both the government and developers from which it has already received commitments of 3,400 units from the private sector alone.
"There is an overwhelming demand for housing in Kenya and limited supply in the middle and lower market segment giving IGS optimism of great success. IGS's vision aligns with the Government of Kenya's Vision 2030, whose long term strategy is to improve livelihoods of Kenyans through facilitation of access to affordable and adequate housing," said Julius K. Nyoike, President of International Green Structures Kenya Ltd.

The company, which is headquartered in Maryland in the United States, has had a presence in Kenya for over a year, and recently opened a new office in Westlands what will be become its hub for operations in Kenya and across East Africa.
IGS expects to provide a second income to rice and wheat farmers as these are the material used in producing durable panels made from straw, a wasteful by-product of wheat and rice crops that has no potential for fuel or food.

The straw from wheat and rice are up cycled into a Compressed Agricultural Fiber (CAF) Panel. The innovative manufacturing process creates rigid, thermo-set panels that equal or exceed the durability of block and cement or brick. CAF Panels are also incredibly energy efficient with natural thermal and sound attenuating properties, plus they are also fire, water, mold and pest resistant – and harvesting straw has a low-carbon footprint. So not only is this a green product – it is, in many ways, a healthier, sustainable product to traditional building materials.

Our goal at IGS, is to provide environmentally-sustainable structures that can be shipped easily from the manufacturing facility and assembled and under roof in a matter of days, using local labour. IGStructures meet national and international building codes and are KEBS certified," said McCarthy.
Because of its flexible technology, IGS can create a variety of IGStructures that are easily expandable and accommodate a variety of sizes and designs – from residential housing to commercial and institutional structures.

Following its entry into Kenya, IGS expects to create over 4000 direct and indirect jobs by end of 2015 assuming an uptake of all its products get constructed. "We target to produce 3000 IGStructures in our first phase which with expansion of production lines will increase capacity to about 12,000 units per year," said Nyoike.
The company is also focusing on non-profit organizations working in Kenya to deliver homes for refugees and IDP's (Internally Displace People
