Founded in 2012, Veerhouse Voda specializes in the design, marketing, manufacture, and delivery of sustainable, inexpensive, environmentally friendly, disaster-resilient housing and commercial buildings. Veerhouse Voda’s proprietary methods allow construction to be completed 5x faster than with traditional methods. They are ideal for Haiti because of their para-seismic qualities, resistance to hurricane, water, and fire and exceptional insulation capacities that use 65% less energy. In addition, the company also operates and sells construction materials to the local builders through is manufacturing facility located in Port-au-Prince. The materials are also easy to transport, lightweight, and are derived locally. The company won the Complete Caribbean’s Enterprise Innovation Challenge Award (EICF) in 2014 as well as the USAID/LEAD business plan competition. In Haiti, its construction system has already been used to build over 42 structures comprised mostly of schools, hospitals and medical clinics, and five new projects are in process for 2018.
