The construction of 200 modern, prefabricated houses at the Yarrowkabra homestead project is progressing steadily, setting the stage for a new model of sustainable living. The project, led by DuraVilla Homes, aims to promote economic empowerment and environmental stewardship among its target audience, single women.
The homes are being built in batches of 25, with each unit priced at $6.5 million. The construction process involves the use of prefabricated timber wall panels manufactured off-site, which come pre-fitted with electrical wiring conduits. The roofing is constructed using conventional methods, while the company explores local hardwoods for future builds.
According to Edward Pillay, Operations Manager at DuraVilla Homes, the construction process is designed to complete two houses per day, with a goal of finishing three or four houses daily by adjusting sequences and adding superstructures. The system supports Guyana’s economic goals by promoting locally-made manufactured homes, which contributes to the country’s gross GDP.
