Eco Homes for a Greener Tomorrow

​

At ModTech Build, we see ourselves as eco-warriors with a mission: to leave a greener, more sustainable world for future generations — one beautifully designed home at a time.

​

ModTech is evolving beyond energy solutions and into the world of eco-conscious construction, where innovation meets intention. We’re diving into research and development of affordable, sustainable homes that don’t compromise on comfort, performance, or style.

​

Our Concept: Built Local. Built Light. Built to Last.

We believe that “local is lekker” isn't just a phrase — it’s a building philosophy. By sourcing local materials and supporting South African suppliers, we reduce carbon emissions, uplift communities, and root homes in their natural environment.

Now, with ModTech Build, we’re bringing that same philosophy into sustainable housing, proving that green living can be attainable, elegant, and responsible.

​

What Makes a ModTech Home?

Our homes are designed to tread lightly and live fully, combining smart engineering with a deep respect for the planet.

Here’s what we’re building into every ModTech home:

​

✅ Biophilic Design

Bringing nature indoors through light, airflow, greenery, and natural textures to improve wellbeing and connection to the environment.

​

✅ Passive Solar Design

Maximising orientation, shading, and glazing to harness the sun’s energy for natural heating, lighting, and cooling.

​

✅ Renewable Energy Integration

Homes come solar-ready, with optional battery storage and water heating systems to cut your carbon footprint and your bills.

​

✅ Water Smart Solutions

From rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling to low-flow plumbing fixtures — every drop counts.

​

✅ Non-Toxic Materials

We choose low-VOC paints, formaldehyde-free wood, and natural sealants to promote clean, healthy indoor air.

​

✅ High-Performance Insulation

Recycled or natural insulation paired with smart thermal massing helps regulate indoor temperature, reducing heating and cooling needs.

​

✅ Green Roofs & Living Walls

Enhance thermal performance, reduce runoff, and bring biodiversity back into urban spaces.

​

✅ Modular Construction 

Off-site modular builds reduce waste, accelerate timelines, and minimise site disruption.

​

✅ CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) 

An innovative, low-carbon structural alternative to concrete and steel — strong, lightweight, and renewable.

​

✅ Eco Cement Alternatives 

Explore low-carbon options like geopolymer cement or Hempcrete for sustainable foundation materials.
