Study shows SA has enough resources to establish larger wood-based housing market 🔒

SA has sufficient log resources to construct 95,000 wood-based houses to service the residential market, according to a new study by researchers at Stellenbosch University.

The study comes as SA is struggling to address its housing backlog of about 2.2-million homes. Wood houses are also generally cheaper than brick homes and could be a viable housing option for low-income countries.A subscription helps you enjoy the best of our business content every day along with benefits such as exclusive Financial Times articles, ProfileData financial data, and digital access to the Sunday Times and Sunday Times Daily.
