Saint-Gobain has produced a coffee table book, which highlights the complexities of the South African housing situation. It also aims to introduce the benefits of innovative building solutions to assist in meeting the challenges faced.
Saint-Gobain has to date, made an investment of R4.7 million to fund housing projects in South Africa, with funds being allocated to three key areas of housing development:
Constructing, refurbishing or renovating government-subsidised houses,
Improving energy efficiency and addressing other green concerns related to government-subsidised housing, and
Integrating the youth in housing construction projects.
Housing in South Africa is available as a free download on www.gyproc.co.za.
