Icology Group
A Compelling Solution for a Compelling Requirement
Icology has designed a low cost range of wooden shelters with a unique frame construction technique. Providing a secure transitional home of great strength due to the simple slotting shape of frame supports. Units are easy to construct by unskilled labor in about 4 hours. They provide genuine protection against tropical storms as well as being termite proof, mold proof and fire resistant.
A concrete base is desirable for completeness but optional. No technology is involved and shelters are simple to expand or repair. They can be easily adapted for electricity, water and waste utilities. Each unit pack is self-contained for all parts, tools and instructions and unit packs are compact and easy to transport. All parts are man portable.
