The SABS Building System offers Gabon a unique opportunity to stimulate economic growth while addressing the nation's housing and infrastructure needs. Through local manufacturing, certification programs, and hands‑on training, SABS can create new jobs, develop skilled labor, and empower community members to participate directly in the construction industry.
By training General Contractors, tradespeople, and local residents to build with the SABS Building System, Gabon can establish a sustainable workforce capable of delivering high‑quality, resilient, and affordable housing throughout the country. Combined with local manufacturing operations and technology transfer, this initiative is designed to strengthen the economy, reduce construction costs, expand housing availability, and create long‑term opportunities for communities across Gabon.
Rising material costs, labor shortages, and lengthy schedules constrain delivery. ELVIRA was conceived to answer these challenges through innovative community planning paired with advanced building technology.
At the foundation of ELVIRA is the patented SABS Building System — structural EPS foam bonded with proprietary SABSCRETE™ coatings, delivering structure and insulation as one. Higher performance, lower cost, shorter schedule — certified under ICC‑ES Report ESR‑1638.
A community‑centered model that creates vibrant, secure, walkable neighborhoods — encouraging social interaction while preserving the privacy and comfort of every residence. The courtyard is the heart: a shared space promoting wellness, safety, and engagement.
Each ELVIRA building comprises four private two‑story residences arranged around a central courtyard, each with its own private entrance.
