Our Commitment To Improving The Process

At Kiro Action, we believe that the future of meeting housing needs lies on two essential premises: the design of an ambitious improvement program and an environmentally-friendly approach to building. Technology is constantly improving and the incorporation of that technology in our projects is what makes us different. We incorporate the newest building materials, methodologies, and technology that make the units more effective for the long-run at a fraction of the cost.

Our incorporation of technology doesn’t stop at building the units. Our ability to manufacture locally, utilizing local resources, recycling and upcycling previous construction waste, reusing damaged concrete buildings, and focusing on the end-user comfort is part of our commitment. Our construction differs depending on the location to take into account the climate and how the units will serve the population.

One of the most innovative features in our ability to recycle, upcycle and reuse remnants of war, including concrete and rebar. We can incorporate the old broken-down concrete that is reminiscence of war to be part of the new structure, both cleaning up cities and recycling the material in a productive manner. Depending on the country, construction waste accounts for about 40% of total waste. In a place that has experienced war and damage, there is little use for the damaged buildings and mounds of concrete increasing that waste. As we grow, the goal is to incorporate more environmentally-friendly material and technology to help push our units to the most remote locations that need it most, reduce construction waste and provide longer-term housing to those in need. In addition, our controlled manufacturing process allows us to have a total waste of less than 5% because of our advanced designs and materials used, and in typical construction, waste hovers around 20-25%.

We started with addressing the problem of veteran homelessness, refugee and disaster relief housing. We designed and built a product that is affordable, addresses the concerns and is dignified for the people using it. We expanded our units to meet additional commercial and government customer needs, help us in the mission in building a better world, and be a good steward of the environment wherever we operate.
