Building construction and environment

Building and construction activities have a considerable bearing on the state of our environment. As the state of environment decides the quality of our lives, and more importantly our common future itself, “Construction that does not upset the environmental balance” is a theme that assumes greater importance day by day.

Building and construction whether in small scale or large, unmindful of environmental concerns will upset the balance and can cause irreversible damage. The quest for a green architecture that ensures a green habitat in which the shelter blends perfectly, was nurtured by Habitat technology group from its very inception. Our success in this quest, we believe is the core of our identity.

We believe that the large environmental issues are invariably linked with the home and the habitat. Protection of nature starts at home.

Habitat’s intervention has created an impact by minimizing the environmental degradation during building and construction activities.

Houses that merge with the surroundings, and in tune with the nature, is an idea widely accepted in Kerala now. It is heartening that the concept we pioneered, created a popular trend.

Reducing the use of wood by introducing cost effective easily available alternatives, is another area where Habitat succeeded. Ferro cement blocks of various shapes and thickness serve the purpose of wood. Bamboo and rattan was introduced, as cost effective material for furniture and other house hold articles.

Habitat technology group is involved in environmental protection activities, encompassing various areas.

Creation of environmental awareness, among professionals and workers in building and construction sector is one of the focus areas.

Habitat technology group welcomes associations and partnerships with organizations and similar concerns. This will open up opportunities for joint R&D programs, technological transactions and joint projects.
