GBS: Green Building Solutions for a better, more cost effective future

gbs_logo_thumb

As modular housing takes off across the globe as a cost and time effective building solution, one Australian part-owned company is striving ahead as a world leader in manufactured building technology for the residential and light commercial industry sector.

Green Building Solutions is a China-based business part owned and 100% managed by Australians who understand the compliance requirements and the cultural nuances of Australian clients in the building sector.

Using its ComFab Building Technologies (Complete Fabrication) GBS is setting itself apart as the world leader in manufactured building technology for the residential and light commercial industries due to several key factors, including:

– Flexibility in design and ability to meet local compliance requirements of any market
– Patented Core and Panel system that works with the requirements of international shipping, rail and road requirements
– Technology that puts ComFab Core/Panel and Modular solutions at a 15% to 20% advantage over conventional building
– Up to 50% faster than conventional building
– And allowing for significantly “GREENER” solutions than conventional building
While the need for housing globally is increasing day by day – conventional construction cannot keep up with increased demand and the numbers required is steadily rising. This is forcing governments and developers to look for alternate supply methods.

Additionally the accommodation hungry resource sector benefits greatly due to the sites being remote.

GBS’s technology reduces the risk regime associated with project development considerably with its hybrid product – ComFab (Completely Fabricated).
 
The process involves doing as much of the work as possible, in the factory before it is shipped using standard high cube shipping containers or larger modules that are shipped break bulk.
GBS takes the building to the worker not the other way around.
GBS boasts an on-site Australian certified plumber, electrician and builder on staff in its China factory ensuring it delivers a far superior product than factories with fly in fly out inspectors. This means Australian clients can rest assured their housing solution is meeting Australian standards and regulations.
In a nutshell, this is an integrated solution that takes the best of all current delivery methods for residential construction.
GBS off site manufacture is;
– Faster
– Greener
– More Cost Effective
– And reduces development risk
The business has been evolving for the past four years with a focus on continuously improving the delivery of residential and small commercial buildings and considers all aspects of the delivery of the building from Design, Procurement, Manufacture, Transport, Local works, and Assembly.
Approach to completing the building is for the most part, manufactured as opposed to constructed – this allows for greater uniformity, less time and a more easily managed workforce.
The production line manufacture of modular systems reduces the site work required dramatically.
GBS was formed when its original shareholders could see opportunities in the residential construction industry and a belief that the development of practice in other sectors could be done in the residential sector.
Research shows a critical need for housing in most countries with that gap widening each year between what is produced and what is required. This is particularly true of emerging markets of the Middle East, East Asia, Africa and South America.
