Environmentally-Friendly Building Options in the Philippines

The well-being of the environment is something we cannot dismiss or ignore. While it’s important to look after our health in this challenging time, moving forward, it would also do well to think in the long term and also help take care of the health of the world. 

Cheesy-sounding, sure, but true enough, an effort to be more eco-friendly can help us deal with rising air pollution, contaminated water supplies, and other problems related to environmental neglect and destruction. This is why construction projects can always choose the greener option when looking for construction material.

While red brick, polluting construction material in both its creation and its set form (it gives off harmful materials when it’s already a full brick) isn’t used as much as concrete in Philippine building projects, that doesn’t mean that construction companies don’t have to use more environmentally-friendly materials. Here are some suggestions.

Bamboo is a natural resource that can be found locally in the Philippines. Its hardy structure makes it an ideal building material for smaller projects, like huts and other small houses. It can also be used to frame buildings and replace traditional rebar construction. As a strong piece of the natural environment, bamboo is a great building option ethically and aesthetically.

Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks are made using fly ash, reducing the amount of waste from power plants by reusing it as non-toxic building material. AAC blocks have good insulation, sturdy frames, sound, mold and pest-resistant, and can also last long. You can find a number of reliable solid blocks suppliers in Davao City to get your construction projects some good eco-friendly materials.

If you’re looking for good AAC blocks, aluminum composite panels or heavy equipment rentals, Wave Construction Industries Inc. can help you start up your construction projects with ease.
