“If we really want to make a big impact on the world, we have to think of ourselves as at scale, and not at the individual level.”
Revolutionary housing design
-
Solar power harnessing forms a utility-scale solar rooftop farm, generating renewable energy for the grid and revenue through local and national energy sales. Proof of concept is supported by an established partnership with French energy supplier, ENGIE
-
Affordability is locked in with surplus solar energy sales generating between 20 – 60% cash back on mortgages
-
Modular design ensures homes can be quickly shipped and assembled, reducing costs and time by 20% compared to conventionally built housing. Prefabricated construction provides resilience to harsh weather and earthquake conditions, with a lifespan of 60 years
-
Scalable technology that can operate in any context, for future application worldwide. BillionBricks already have a successful track record of project delivery in India, Philippines and Malaysia
