D
avid Prinsloo, the South African
inventor and patent holder of the
Agrément approved Eezi-Over
Roofing kit, says the DIY kit contains
everything you need to erect a roof
structure, excluding the poles.
Says Prinsloo, “South Africa and Africa’s
rural populations have the desire and all
the necessary traditional and proven skills
to clad both the roof and walls of traditional
housing and other similar type structures,
using this kit.
“Currently the main problem is the size
limiting structural strength of the roof and
the walls’ super structure.” This is where,
together with suitably sized commercially
available structural timbers, the easy-to-
erect and compact 40x40x40cm Eezi-Over
Roofing kit comes in.
Besides delivering on the housing
promise and improvement in the quality of
life of African rural communities there are
additional advantages of the kit,
which include:
• Incredible speed of the roll out of a
quality product at a fraction of the
current cost;
• Enabling people to help themselves
and rebuild their sense of community
and pride; and
• Generating employment and skills
transfer by creating specialist Eezi-Over
Roofing kit suppliers, distributors,
erectors and transporters.
How the kits help
David envisages an approved kit supplier
and contractor distribution system
functioning as follows:
• Qualifying and approved rural housing
subsidy recipients are notified that they
need to report to an approved local
supplier for a short, ID verified, lecture
and demonstration of how to erect the
supplied / sponsored Eezi-Over Roofing
kit and main structural timbers.
• Upon completion of the course, the
verified recipient or (under strict
conditions) their approved proxy, signs
for and takes delivery of the Eezi-Over
Roofing kit and the following minimum
building materials:
› › foundation, sand, stone and cement
› › the main structural timbers for the
roof and walls
› › the Eezi-Over Roofing kit
› › delivery if required
› › removal from the housing
backlog list
As funds allow (or if additional funding
becomes available) and upon completion of
additional local distributor-based skills
training, further subsidy options
may include:
• Roof cladding materials
• A water collection, storage and
purification system
• Solar water heating
• Photo voltaic panels
• Wall building materials such as door
frames, doors and windows
The breakdown
Depending on the level of subsidy, material
costs range from about R25 000 for the
minimum and up to R90 000 for a fully
subsidised 42m² house.
The kit has also been designed to form
multi-kit structures, ranging in size and
suitable for schools, creches, community
halls and clinics or even a large four-
bedroom en-suite home where the kits will
cost just R300 000 for the materials only.
