Our Focus On Construction
One of the major infrastructures that get destroyed during any disaster are houses. Families are left with no homes after the devastating effects of any sort of disasters. At C-DEZ Foundation, ensuring that families are housed as soon as possible after a disaster is core to our objectives, hence, the use of Thermal Modular Composite building system.
Such housing will be net-zero carbon, passive homes using zero energy from the grid. They will be light on the land, replacing concrete foundations with composite ground screws. Not having to rely on the setting for the concrete, the ground screw can immediately be loaded with our fibre glass reinforced pultrusion (FRP) composite lightweight, high-strength frame.

Our building system
Our frames not only give the structure the strength to withstand hurricanes, earthquakes and tornados but allows the fully complete modular floor, wall and roof to be inserted into the frame onsite. This eliminates the use of heavy equipment and cranes on site. This enables us to house disaster victims in the shortest time possible. The hemp floor, wall and roof, all external and internal cladding, electrical wiring and conduits for fibre optic, television cables and airflow throughout the structure are assembled at the factory.
The factory-finished structure is inserted into the lightweight composite frame which adds extreme rigidity and strength to it. This frame is designed fit-for-purpose for such building for the specific site where it is constructed. The hemp walling system is a net-zero carbon modular walling system which meets the requirements set by the passive building standards.
The thermal modular alternative building system
The thermal modular alternative building system excels in its thermal and acoustic performances as well as fire rating. This walling system is alive, breathes and absorbs CO2 gas emissions over the entire life of such building. Hemp walling systems have been in existence for hundreds of years and have stood the test of time.
In addition to these achievements, the buildings are 100% airtight, thus ensuring that we eliminate any airflow containing water vapour which causes rot and mould.
Conclusion
This unique alternative building system achieves these characteristics as the system uses no traditional building elements. These are sand, stone, concrete, cement, bricks, blocks, steel, aluminium, wood, glass, wooden trusses, cement roof tiles and gypsum ceilings. All modular separate toilets, showers, baths and vanity glass are delivered to site completed in their predetermined position in the building.
Due to the factory finished floor, wall, roof and pods, a 65m² house can be completed in one day on site. This ground-breaking alternative building system is combined with our Agriculture and Disaster Management model, which includes an economic methodology that can contribute to the communities’ wellbeing.
