Housing is a human right for every human being, and an essential part of human existence, but in developing countries, housing is a privilege and a scarce commodity to many. While there are ample honest attempts by governments, and businesses to solve the housing problems in these countries, affordability still prevent vast majority of the people from owning a house or apartment,
SCGI CANADA GROUP has stepped forward to offer solutions to these developing countries through the development of affordable housing schemes. Low income houses combined with affordable payment plans is one way of reducing the housing shortages in most developing countries. Our aim is to provide mass housing programs where each unit is independently powered with renewable power, and the cost is part of the unit cost.
For instance, Nigeria as a nation has housing deficits in excess of 17 million units, and for years now the federal government has embarked on aggressive program through the Federal Mortgage Bank, the Federal Ministry of Housing and other relevant entities to develop and make available housing opportunities for Nigerians.
In order to tackle this nationwide housing deficit, all viable avenues must be empowered and supported effectively for them to yield the desired outcomes. Bundling low income affordable housing units with localized independent power system is the solution that must be sort and encouraged. SCGI CANADA GROUP is proposing this particular solutions.
SCGI CANADA GROUP is working to deliver 10,000 housing units in twelve states of Nigeria, in totaling 120,000 housing units. This program is to begin once the funding procurement is completed in 2019.
CONSTRUCTION
Our strategy is to design and build affordable low cost 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses/flats/condominiums some equipped with small footprint wind-solar power systems capable of powering up to 30 LED Light Bulbs, 3-10 electric fans, 2-5 Television, 1-2 microwave, 1 toaster oven, computers, water pump, dish/cloth washers, electric stove, and other light equipment. Each unit will be equipped with small footprint wind-solar power systems
Some multi-dwelling apartment units are part of our solution, though the same amenities will be provided for each apartment unit. A centralised small footprint wind-solar power systems will be provided, and power will be shared between units in the building.
Ideal solutions for developing urban centers must include multi-dwelling units with independent power sources that combines the power of sun and wind. These units must embody minimum comforts with affordability, and they must provide choice of one, two, three and four bedroom flats.
BUILDING SYSTEMS
We have three (3) building technologies available for us to utilize, normal block building, Prefab/Precast building technology, and Modular building Technology. However for the purpose of the P-P-P project, we will utilize prefab/precast technology which will enable us to deliver large number of housing units in the shortest possible time. Some of the visible benefits of the prefab/precast building structure are; a) the building are much stronger than block buildings; b) time saving enables large number of housing units to be complete in a short period of time.
In terms of the choice of building technology that we will utilize, our choice in order of hierarchy are:
1. Prefab/Precast Building Technology
2. Modular building technology
3. Standard Block building
The first and second choice about allow for large number of houses to be constructed in the shortest time period, without compromising on quality. This is what is required to accelerate the provision of affordable housing units for masses.
