One goal:
Make housing affordable.

Affordable Abodes was set up to develop affordable, low-cost housing that would make it possible for Bottom-of-Pyramid (BoP) populations to have their own homes. Operating in Malaysia and Singapore, we have our sights set on improving the lives of the poor in the ASEAN region and beyond, through developing sustainable housing solutions.

Beyond this, our technologies are enabling construction of dormitories, renovations and business extensions faster and at a lower cost than ever before.

 
 

our technologies

The Affordable Advantage.

Stronger

Our core technology, KENAFCRETE®, is a bio-composite made up of locally grown kenaf fibers. The exceptional strength-to-weight ratio allows us to construct homes far stronger than typical ones.

Faster

Constructing homes using prefabricated KENAFCRETE® panels allows us to get started quickly, with minimal piling and structural reinforcements needed, finishing a one-storey home in a week.

Cheaper

By using prefabricated panels built locally, we bring the best value to the table. Reduced transport costs, piling costs and build time means increased efficiency, that adds up to significant cost-savings.

Lighter

By using advanced and environmentally friendly bio-composites, we are able to build panels significantly lighter, vastly reducing structural load-bearing elements, decreasing piling time and material costs.

Testimonials

Hear their stories.

 

The house has been cool and comfortable during the day.
— Rosli Bin Harun, Homeowner

Rosli used to get by on expensive rentals, that would eat into his limited family income. He received his new home within two months of discussions with the Affordable team. Since then, he’s settled in comfortably with his wife and five children. They look forward to growing the home along with the family.

 
 

Our Impact

Empowerment,
one community at a time.

At Affordable Abodes, we believe in creating hope, together. That means building homes with the community’s participation, to their needs.
