BiLT Construction
BiLT Projects was born out of the need of our architectural clients to not only have their houses professionally designed, but professionally built as well. The company is based on providing a construction service raised above the norm in all aspects, from professional site management to delivering a project of superior quality on time and on budget.
BiLT Projects can faultlessly provide this service due to the committed contribution of each of the partners as far as professional construction management, detail project planning, dedicated on-site involvement and integrated client liaison are concerned.

Some of the aspects that makes us a successful building concern:
- Ensuring client liaison and participation form inception to completion
- Detail and comprehensive project planning (in the form of bar charts) with a week by week breakdown of all on site activities
- Regular weekly minuted site meetings with compulsory attendance by all relevant parties
- Experienced site managers and skilled artisans
- Dedicated team, passionate about building in a earth conscious way
As a construction company, BiLT fully subscribes to the TWS Group philosophy of earth consciousness. We incorporate all possible measures to ensure the environmental impact of the project is considered not only during the construction process, but also when considering the long term effect the structure will have on the people that occupy the building, as well as the future energy consumption and carbon footprint it will have.
Below are a number of aspects BiLT incorporates during the planning phase of any project:
Building methodology/Site Management- Selective site clearing
- Waste management, recycle, re-use
- Water usage
- Energy consumption
- Material from sustainable resources
- Carbon footprint of produced material
- Limitation of harmful chemicals
- Natural paint
- Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of the various so-called alternative building methods and their appropriate application
- There are a number of perceived alternative building methods that has in fact been around for hundreds of years (600 year old 7 storey buildings constructed from rammed earth)
- Timber construction
- Rammed earth
- Cob
- Straw bales
BiLT has a great interest in alternative, sustainable and earth conscious building methods and materials, as we firmly believe that the construction industry has a crucial role to play in countering the effects of global warming and curbing the uncontrolled exploitation of our planet’s natural resources.
