We use advanced green technologies and materials to deliver durable, comfortable buildings that assemble in days and are designed specifically for remote and environmentally sensitive locations.
Discover BOXA’s versatile range of eco-friendly and durable turnkey solutions , designed for rapid installation, reliable performance and lasting operational value with minimal environmental footprint.
BOXA has developed and patented a world-first building system that specifically addresses the challenges of sustainably developing and operating eco-lodges in remote African wilderness locations.
With zero water, zero cement, zero waste and zero disruption, our turnkey solutions are installed within days, rapidly delivering practical performance and comfort for your operations in a robust and durable building envelope.
BOXA makes building simple, fast and reliable. Our turnkey solutions are engineered, prefabricated and factory finished to be assembled in just days, not months—cutting out the complexity, risks, and endless snags that slow traditional construction. By minimising time and disruption on site, we help operators keep their focus on their guests and operations without interruption.
The BOXA building system is specifically designed and engineered for remote and challenging locations, where timeframes are tight and conditions demand efficiency. From back-of-house facilities and staff housing to workspaces and communal areas, our solutions are delivered to perform with durability and consistency, no matter the environment.
With BOXA, you have a partner that will take the time to understand your specific challenges and needs, and tailor transformative solutions that will deliver lasting value from day 1.
BOXA is part of the Sustainabuild Group, a cohesive ecosystem that delivers end-to-end sustainable building solutions from design through fabrication and installation.
Through Mass Timber Technologies (MTT) and Sustainabuild Installation Projects, we harness state-of-the-art prefabrication, digital modelling (BIM), structural engineering, and professional project management to ensure high precision and efficiency. The foundation of BOXA’s building system is Mass Engineered Timber (MET) which gets manufactured by MTT and this includes Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glue-Laminated Timber (GLT). This allows BOXA units to offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, excellent thermal performance, low on-site disturbance, and carbon benefits.
Mass engineered timber is pivotal to BOXA, enabling durability, fast assembly, minimal site waste, and a lighter environmental footprint. With the Sustainabuild Group you get a holistic approach to the future of building design.
Mass Engineered Timber (MET)
The BOXA Building system is developed around innovative next-generation building materials and systems that substantially reduce embodied carbon, environmental impacts and life-cycle costs relative to conventional construction methods.
Fundamental to the BOXA building system is the use of mass engineered timber (MET) components, specifically cross-laminated timber (CLT) wall and floor panels that eliminate the use of masonry & concrete, and glue-laminated timber (GLT) structural beams that eliminate the use of steel.
Minimal footprint
Designed for sensitive and remote environments, BOXA buildings leave a light footprint — both ecologically and physically. Our systems require minimal site disturbance, with reduced foundation needs and low-impact materials. Every BOXA unit is designed to tread lightly, aligning with off-grid living, conservation goals, or eco-conscious developments.
Durable construction
BOXA buildings are made to endure. From harsh weather to rugged terrain, our engineered timber systems are built for long-term strength and stability. With high-performance finishes, moisture protection, and robust structural integrity, BOXA structures deliver lasting value and reliability in even the most challenging environments.
Assembled in days
Speed meets precision with BOXA. Our prefabricated timber systems are delivered ready for rapid on-site assembly — often within just a few days. This streamlined approach reduces disruption, labour time, and logistics, making it the ideal solution for remote locations or time-sensitive projects.
What is a prefabricated timber building?
A prefabricated (prefab) building is made off-site in standardised sections and assembled on-site.
What type of foundation is required?
BOXA units use a rapid-install, load-bearing galvanised steel micro-pile system supporting a treated engineered timber subframe.
Is there a warranty?
Our Germiston facility is the heart of BOXA’s precision and innovation. Equipped with advanced machinery and a 7-axis robotic arm, the factory enables highly accurate, repeatable production of Mass Engineered Timber components.
This cutting-edge automation ensures exceptional quality, efficiency, and scalability — allowing us to deliver rapid-build systems with unmatched consistency and speed.
Behind every BOXA building is a dedicated team of skilled artisans, installation specialists, project managers, and support staff who bring each project to life.
From precision joinery on the factory floor to seamless on-site assembly in remote locations, our team ensures every step runs smoothly.
Backed by careful planning and hands-on expertise, BOXA buildings are delivered and installed with care, speed, and professionalism — every time.
