A Compelling Solution for a Compelling Requirement
Icology Group has designed an affordable range of emergency shelters, transitional houses and permanent homes using a unique I WOOD™ frame construction technique. Units are easy to construct by unskilled labor making them ideal solutions for disaster recovery and for communities struggling with high levels of inadequate housing.
I RAD Rapid Assembly Dwellings™ and I Home™ housing kits are offered in a range of sizes and are readily expandable and/or re-locatable as circumstances require. They provide genuine protection against tropical storms and a safe secure structure in which a family can sleep, eat and begin to rebuild their lives with dignity. An optional wood treatment, recommended for tropical climates, ensures the units are termite proof, mold proof and fire resistant.
Each flat-pack self-assembly kit is made from simple milled lumber, and is easy to move, expand or repair. It can be augmented with electricity, water and waste utilities as needed. Each kit is self-contained with all parts, tools and instructions included. Packs are compact and easy to transport. All parts are portable without need of heavy lifting equipment.
