Off-plan buyers can customise footprint, design and finishes – with expert advice from the design team at every step of the construction process.

The Alpha-ESS Home Series Solar Inverter: Lithium Ion batteries have a life of up to 10 years, and can be refurbished. The supplier will maintain them for the first year to ensure that they are compatible with the rest of the system. Developments 108 on 8th Noordwyk – the first development of its kind in South Africa – was the catalyst that convinced the building and banking industry that such a housing system is both viable and desirable in the market. The latest and current project is Greenhill Estate in Waterkloof Heights, Pretoria East. The estate features passive solar design, ensuring that the contemporary-styled homes will require minimal (if any) heating and cooling, and solar energy generation also offers the potential for residents to live off grid. The well-designed indigenous garden minimises water usage. The estate has drilled for water and all systems have been adjusted to ensure Borehole water to each home. Water will be tanked at the guard house and a tank provided at each home, ensuring an indefinite water supply to every household. Thereby alleviating future water supply issues, which Brett believes are imminent. Green Housing Company continues to use their hard-won experience and technical know-how to build private-sector affordable housing – particularly in rural areas, where the lack of services infrastructure is a serious obstacle to development. Their continued engagement with local Tshwane government at the highest level means that they are constantly informing stakeholders of every aspect of the green building process. What this ultimately means is that eco homes are opening up to more people in South Africa at grassroots level. The Green Housing Company team is dedicated to providing the people of South Africa with sustainable housing that is not harmful to the environment.
