1. GFS Housing (“GFS”)GFS Housing is an entity to pursue mass housing and infrastructure projects in Africa and Far East region. GFS is currently working on mass housing projects in East Africa and West Africa with the government on Public Private Partnership (“PPP”) or as Joint Development Agreement (“JDA”) model. GFS believes that affordable mass housing and infrastructure sector in selected geographies present a large business opportunity with significant positive social impact.
- GFS partners with innovative, reliable and competent international technology and contracting companies for successful development, execution and delivery of projects.
- GFS strives for quality, affordability, time and sustainability in any development.
2. GFS Value Proposition

Economical Construction
Cost Competitive across Geographies
The technology should have a good support ecosystem
and should be based on locally
available raw materials.
High Speed of Construction
Sustainable Speed of Construction &
Substitution of Skill by Process
Processing time should be low and technology should be impervious to extraneous factors
such as skill availability.
The technology should allow to define processes which would deskill the
activity thereby making it more amenable to high speed and high quality
construction.
High Quality of Construction
Sustainable Quality Control in
Construction
The technology should lend itself to ease of quality control. This would be especially important when the scale of operations
increases.
Large number of repeatable units across
geographies
Scalability (Rapid Expansion)
The technology should be amenable to rapid
build-out across geographies and should have the
ecosystem to support this expansion.
Versatility
Respond to different constraints related to land availability, local terrain, consumer requirements
The technology should allow different
configurations (layouts, floors, design changes) so that it can respond
to any situation
7. Construction TechnologyGFS intends to use advanced and time tested technology solutions in the construction of the affordable mass housing.
The selection of the technology is done considering the following factors which are key requirements for
sustainable low cost construction.
Construction technologies which are envisaged by GFS for the execution of the projects are summarized below.
Steel Frame with Panels Pre-engineered metal building systems
are being used in any industry or application, including commercial,
industrial, standing seam, architectural, municipal, residential, and aeronautical
buildings. Onsite factory can be erected very quickly
to reduce the transportation costs.
Factory Produced Pre-Cast Structures Precast concrete structures are produced by
casting concrete in a reusable mould or "form" which is then cured in a controlled environment,
transported to the construction site and lifted into place. Alternatively factory can be set up at
the site.
