Innovative Composites International, a Toronto, Canada, headquartered company, declared that it has received a purchase order for the construction of an EcoScape house measuring 880 ft2 on the island of Antigua.
The proposed house will serve as a demo home to be chosen for a large level inexpensive housing program. The company is anticipated to provide further details such as the number of units planned and period of the program after meeting the government officials of Antigua and Barbuda in late July.
The EcoScape houses provided by ICI are endorsed to withstand hurricane and earthquake and fit for locations struck by national disasters. The readymade type of 880 ft2 house can be set up in around two days time without the need of any heavy installation machineries and by utilizing unskilled labor. The construction of houses with a local contractor and labor will generate a number of employment opportunities in Antigua and Barbuda.
The EcoScape homes are designed to endure insects, UV rays, mold, rust and rot and perfect for use in tropical conditions. The houses are ideal for construction in large scale affordable housing projects.
