Welcome to

Timber Homes and Alternatives Magazine.


The first issue of the all new Timber Homes and Alternatives Magazine will be in the mail to subscribers late September 2010 and will be packed with new innovations and the latest in timber building technology.

For now the magazine will be available only on subscription. A new subscription offer which we believe to be the best ever is available as well as back issue collection packs. The two new DVD's included in the Subscription pack are an eye-opener to most South Africans.

What is happening in South Africa with Timber Homes, Log Cabins and alternative building methods, especially so called green buildings? All over Southern Africa more and more non conventional buildings are seen going up.

In today's difficult market where the world economy is under strain and the environment is an important consideration in taking decisions, we need to understand that change is inevitable. The old ways of doing things may not work anymore and many a tried and trusted recipe to build will eventually disappear.

Now, more than ever before, a reliable source of information with access to advertisers, suppliers, contractors and other professionals, is needed.

Marketing drive

Linked to an opportunity to earn an income from your new Timbalog house, we are currently the main player in a marketingdrive to promote one of the best value for money log home system in SA.


Many creative minds have been attracted to the beauty and versatility of wood. This usually results in attractive and interesting creations. In this issue we look at several such creations in order to get some more of the creative minds out there to spring into action.



Proof

International players in the Timber Construction Industry, like EBS from Belgium, to name one, are getting involved in Africa. A company like EBS Does not spend Millions of Euros to set up factories in Africa without doing their homework. Read the series of articles during 2010 for more about the opportunities they have for property developers and how the housing shortage in Southern Africa could be solved.  




Also read about the possibility you probably didn't know you had, to extend your home or build those rental income earning rooms. 

Other interesting reading: How so called German Meister carpenters do it in our part of the world and the biggest Log home in SA.

Welcome to Timber and Alternative Homes's Portal, where you will find many interesting and informative news articles, links, and discussions. 

At last, several of the big players and all the relevant associations are joining forces to launch a joint effort to make the facts known. 2010 should be a very interesting year for our industry. Keep an eye out for details in future issues.

Once again available, Rosemary Rudd's "South African Timber Homes - A Craft Revived" is a must have if you are at all a timber home enthusiast. A brilliant coffee table book which will easily become the main attraction in many a conversation. To get one, see Shopping above. You will enjoy this book as much as we did.

Lastly, wood is the only truly renewable natural resource available as a building material and the world over, it is being used more and more to counter the global and environmental issues. Every issue of  SA Timber Homes and Projects will contain very important news on research done in this regard.

Don't miss an issue.
