[@CEOInsights7]

Thank you, George. You raise a good point, especially regarding the cost-friendly aspect.

[@Martha-m9m]

I love love this kind of house, I will definitely look into owning one. They are absolutely time, cost effective and enviromentally friendly.

[@nowfortomorr]

Thank you Martha, you are absolutely right, prefabricated construction is very fast and even more cost effective, Easy Housing will be pleased to build your dream house.

Thanks 😅for replying to my timber availability query. Now i would like to know how strong this house is against fire attacks

[@rayruvumba7380]

This is an amazing video. Great job 👍

[@CEOInsights7]

Thank you so much for your feedback Ray. We appreciate it.

[@janifarus5953]

Wonderful innovation Brian. Thanks to CEO for hosting you. However, my concern is how you'll sustain this project considering that timber is getting less and less available

[@nowfortomorr]

It is a good point Janifarus, we have a detailed plan in place by following our sustainability plan, our timber suppliers and growers have well prescribed management plan where they are able to harvest timber for over a 20 year period while replanting the cleared fields. From our capacity assessment in terms of timber for construction, we can build 6700 homes per year by sourcing timber from Jinja alone, this is already a good figure .

[@CEOInsights7]

Thank you for your comment and feedback and for acknowledging the wonderful innovation from Easy Housing Concepts.

[@ivank1326]

Congratulations

[@sundayasobasi4266]

Wooden houses are perfect in durability just as brisk houses, this is a wonderful initiative ,my concern however is the architectural designs is not attractive , need more design modifications.Besides as is known in Ugandan business costs are extremely too high ,a 30 m almost complete 3 bed burnt brick house ok

[@CEOInsights7]

Sunday, they can design a wooden house for you based on your architectural design. if you look at the description section of the video in the timestamps, you will see the section that mentions that, and you can listen to what Brian says.

[@BeyongyeraAlevious]

Nowadays we have a problem of termites almost all of Africa, how do you prevent this structure from these insects and rotting of materials.thank you.

[@oraach]

You pressure treat the timber... That's how ..

[@judithaijuka8958]

U first put a concrete slab and then put timber on top

[@CEOInsights7]

This can work well also.

[@alexkanyesigye]

There is some one complaining about our weather that wooden houses won't lasts long here,if it can last long in USA where they have very dangerous typhoons then why it cannot happen here!

[@CEOInsights7]

Good point. Thank you Alex

[@MiriaNsungwa]

Thanks,they are good ,how much is the first house and what is the guarantee

[@CEOInsights7]

Miria, please contact Brian using the number in the description for the price list. Thank you for your comment and feedback. We appreciate it.

[@omarhaji]

137m/109sqm = 1,250,000 per square meter. That doesn't qualify under low cost housing. I believe the selling point for this is speed of completion. It's disappointing that locally made building materials cost more than imported. It's the story of stones/Slates, rock and even sand.

[@CEOInsights7]

Thank you for your observation and comments. Good points. 👍

[@charlesblake8287]

What is the Comparison for Maintenance between Wooden houses and Brick houses .. Consider White Ants that can destroy your house if Fumigation isn't done regularly. This is brings a cost above cost of fumigation for brick houses. Wooden floors require regular lacquer etc

[@nowfortomorr]

I like your opinion Charles, in terms of maintenance costs, still conventional construction would be on a high end. What separates timber construction from the rest is that pressure treatment done for timber preservation is a one time process so termites will never have to attack the wood again, in following years , you may do regular painting which doesn’t require a technical person.

[@annetkukunda4460]

[@naziruarafat1603]

Only that in uganda wood is more expensive than brick house

[@nowfortomorr]

I agree Arafat, in some areas wood could be expensive given the cost involved in its transportation but given the fact that it is the main building material, it becomes cheaper to apply in construction as compared to buying bricks, cement and steel, the cost of wood substitutes all these in one and at a fair price.

[@yira256]

And do you make storeyd ones

[@nowfortomorr]

Unfortunately at the moment we have not started on the storied homes but all I can say is that it is very possible to do storied timber buildings too

Olimba , not all houses in USA are made of timber. Visit Nashville in Tennessee and you’ll see how they’ve been switching to brick houses
