General ideas
Prefabricated houses - Prefabricated homes are more sustainable than traditional homes as they are built in a controlled factory environment, which minimises waste, reduces construction time and allows better use of resources.
Reuse of abandoned building structures - creatively re-purpose abandoned or utilised buildings in urban or rural areas. This give opportunities for more homes or for other companies if they are looking for an structures
Emergency shelter for disaster relief - Create a portable and easily deployable shelter to provide temporary housing and basic shelter for people affected by natural disasters
