Frequently Asked Questions

ANSWER: Yes, the REVO system is flexible in design and we have our own in house team that can assist you with the concept and style you require.

ANSWER: Yes, the REVO system is a true Kit system that is totally CNC pre manufactured, all the hard work has already been done in our factory, so very little skill is required for assembly and is also supplied with a complete set of drawings & instruction manuals.

ANSWER: Yes, the REVO system complies with National building regulations and is structurally ratified by an independent structural Engineer and will be approved by most municipalities. The REVO system as with most conventional construction methodologies is adaptable so there is scope to modify areas in order to comply where additional requirements are needed.

ANSWER: This is the big advantage of the REVO system, it can be both, because of the robust, durable and modular pre manufactured system the REVO home is perfectly suited as a permanent structure but is also very simple to disassemble and re locate with excellent recovery on all components.

ANSWER: No, the REVO system is totally pre-manufactured and all components are of mass and size that can easily be moved or placed by hand. Only basic tools are required for the assembly process.

ANSWER: This obviously depends on the size of the REVO unit and assembly team but generally the process is very quick because all of the components are pre manufactured and is more of an assembly as opposed to a construction process. A mid range building of around 60m2 should not take longer than 3 – 4 Days to complete.

ANSWER: All timber components used in our REVO homes are pressure treated to SABS and international standards so are not be susceptible to any of the degradation risks associated with untreated timber. With periodic maintenance there is no reason that your REVO home should not last a lifetime.

ANSWER: The majority of timbers used are derived from South African pine of the “Radiata” species along with exterior grade ply boards.

ANSWER: Yes, all timbers used in the manufacturing of REVO homes are sourced from FSC accredited plantations.

ANSWER: Most certainly, this is the beauty of the REVO system, it can be used as is and also essentially provides a ‘blank canvas’ for you to create the look & feel that suites your tastes and needs.

ANSWER: No, because all components are pre-manufactured it is more a process of assembly as opposed to construction therefore only basic skills and some common sense is required. The components can only fit together one way so it is actually very difficult to ‘get it wrong’.

ANSWER: All REVO homes are supplied with a complete set of construction drawings and details along with an installation manual providing step by step instructions.

ANSWER: Yes, double story units do require some upgrading of the lower floor structural elements to maintain structural integrity however the methodology does not change therefore does not create any additional work on site.

ANSWER: The primary REVO wall system is in fact made up of structurally insulated panels and along with the insulation below floors, for elevated timber floor structures, and roof insulation the REVO system provides excellent thermal capabilities. In very cold areas all of these areas can also be upgraded to suite the situation.

A modular timber home in South Africa typically costs between R10,000 and R20,000 per square metre, depending on customisation and finishes.

This cost range reflects the flexibility and variety of options available with modular timber homes. Factors influencing the price include the size of the home, the materials chosen, and any additional features like energy-efficient systems or bespoke design elements. The REVO Timber Home Kits offer a competitive edge by providing pre-manufactured components that ensure quality and reduce on-site labour costs. This approach not only makes modular homes more affordable but also aligns with sustainable building practices by minimising waste and utilising FSC Certified South African pine.

Yes, R400,000 can build a basic modular timber home in South Africa, especially if opting for smaller designs or fewer customisations.

With careful planning and selection of materials, it is possible to construct a modest-sized modular timber home within this budget. The key is to focus on essential features and prioritise energy efficiency, which can offer long-term savings. REVO Timber Home Kits provide a cost-effective solution by offering pre-manufactured components that simplify the building process and reduce construction time. This approach ensures that even with a limited budget, you can achieve a durable and comfortable home that meets your needs while adhering to quality standards.
