The ‘rule of thumb’ in construction technology is: ‘low construction costs deliver high running and maintenance costs’ or ‘high construction costs deliver low maintenance and running costs.’ By combining the traditional cane, reed and clay construction technology, and the relatively new coiled circuit under floor heating system, we have achieved both low construction costs and low maintenance and heating costs – without compromising the structural integrity of the home. We save circa 40% on construction costs and up to 75% on heating costs.
Cane-reed houses are double cheaper than houses built from bricks, clay or concrete blocks.
