An Affordable and Eco-Friendly ABOD for South Africa from BSB design

Prefab is in these days, especially for those who do not have much time on their hands to get involved in an elaborate house construction plan. Moreover, the prefab available now-a-days are low-cost and most of them employ eco-friendly designs and infrastructure.

One such prefab is being offered by the company âBSB designâ for South Africans. The name is AbĹd⢠and it bears a simple design. This relatively cheap and high-quality prefab can be shipped in one box. It’s assembly takes one day, four people, a screwdriver, a ladder and an awl!Â
The design is that of the natural Catenary Arch (curve); materials used in this prefab make it lightweight. The assembled prefab houses in a row look like they have been imported from some childrenâs fable! The whole look and colorful panels give an aura of happiness to these.

The flexibility provided by Abod is such that not only can you erect it up in a day, you can easily dismantle it with the help of a security tool (provided in the shipment) and move your dwelling place part-by-part.

Upgraded add-ons are also available like bathrooms, kitchens, cooking areas, unique door designs, overhangs, flooring choices, closet units, loft expansions, end walls, window-walls and small business walls. Also, design to increase natural diffused light inside, Plexiglas panels can be fitted anywhere in the design.

And last but not the least an Abod can be purchased at US $1,500. Abod truly represents the housing-concept of green-sustainable living!
