HOWORTH International, LLC (Brazil) is searching for a Building Systems Technology for a growing Business Opportunity in Brazil.
Following major initiatives announced recently by the Federal and State governments of Brazil together with support from both public and private financing sources, there is an urgent need for low cost houses – the shortage estimated by some to be as many as 7mm to 10mm units (together with the supporting infrastructure).

1. Current estimates of a deficit of between 7mm and 10mm units of low cost housing in Brasil
2. The initial phase of “Minha Casa, Minha Vida” (My House – My Life) (Federal Government-initiated program) will require over one million low-cost (“popular”) houses be built over 3 years – impossible task without high-volume manufactured building systems
3. Units Size – approximately 37 sq. m. – single and multi-family
4. Average selling price of R$34K (appox. US$21K) per unit 5. Building Location – throughout Brazil– some in remote
regions (NE/SE and rural areas – making the building difficult without new “manufactured housing” systems and a rapid construction period)

6. Large demand in the industrial areas for light industrial buildings, schools, etc.
7. Government and bank sponsored financing is being made available: BNDES - funding for prefabricated and building panel manufacturing facilities Caixa Economica – government-backed housing loans to consumers
8. The use of solar panels and solar systems as well as new forms of waste management and energy generation will become a higher priority
9. Tax incentives are being developed along with many payment options

Traditional building methods CANNOT meet the current popular housing needs: Too slow to build Too costly to build Disruptive to existing building methods of the
existing builders more accustomed larger, more costly housing models
Traditional thinking of using existing building materials is slowly giving way to the use of more modern and fashionable styles and building materials.

Many of the buildings (housing, schools, shopping, light industrial) are needed in remote areas where traditional building methods are expensive, slow and unreliable
New building methods and materials are needed to combat extreme weather and nature (insects, mold, mildew)
Remote locations with undesirable building conditions no longer need to accept low-quality housing and building systems
