Green Block homes are built using innovative hybrid systems that combine the best of timber, brick, and concrete. This means faster construction, improved energy efficiency, and homes that are just as strong—if not stronger—than traditional builds.

Depending on the size and design, most Green Block homes can be completed in 3 to 6 months, compared to 9–12 months for conventional brick-and-mortar builds.

Yes. Our homes are designed in line with SANS 10082, Eurocode 5, and local municipal requirements, ensuring full compliance with national building regulations.

With proper maintenance, timber homes can last 80–100 years or more. Many European and American timber houses built over a century ago are still in perfect condition today.

Not at all. All our timber is treated and certified against termites, pests, and moisture. Modern timber construction is incredibly durable and well-protected.

Yes. Surprisingly, large timber members can perform better than steel in fire, as they char slowly and maintain strength. We also design every home with proper fire safety measures.

Brick offers low maintenance, fire resistance, and timeless appeal. For those who prefer a more traditional build, brick is still one of the most reliable long-term investments.

Brick can have higher upfront costs, but often requires less maintenance over time. Green Block also optimises build methods to reduce waste and keep costs competitive.

A hybrid home combines timber for speed and sustainability with brick/concrete for strength and durability. You get the best of both worlds—eco-friendly, cost-effective, and long-lasting.

Yes, in most cases. By using each material where it performs best, hybrid homes can be built faster and more affordably, with long-term energy savings built in.

Our homes use natural timber insulation and smart wall systems to keep interiors cool in summer and warm in winter—reducing energy bills by up to 30–40%.

Yes. Since our homes meet SANS building standards, they qualify for traditional bank financing, bonds, and insurance like any other home.

Absolutely. Sustainable, energy-efficient homes are in high demand and often resell at a premium compared to standard houses.

Very. We use certified renewable timber, reduce carbon emissions by replacing energy-intensive materials where possible, and design with minimal waste. Every home is a step towards a greener South Africa.

Yes! Through the Green Block Academy, we train artisans, builders, and entrepreneurs—helping to create sustainable employment and uplift communities.
