The first-ever large-scale prefabricated housing project in Nigeria has been completed by Karmod Nigeria, the subsidiary of Karmod Prefabricated Technologies, a global leader in modular and prefabricated building solutions.
The housing estate was recently commissioned by the Governor of Kaduna State, Mr Uba Sani, after it was executed in six months.
The mass housing estate was developed by Family Homes and executed by Karmod Nigeria, demonstrating the power of modern prefabricated construction to deliver high-quality, affordable homes at record speed — a sharp contrast to traditional building methods that often take years.
It was disclosed that each of the 100 units in the estate was designed for a lifespan exceeding 50 years with routine maintenance.
The development features tarred access roads, efficient drainage systems, clean water supply, and steady electricity, ensuring a modern and comfortable living environment for residents.
Karmod Nigeria utilised its extensive expertise in prefabricated technology to localize the process, employing local artisans and materials to enhance community participation and job creation.
“With prefabricated technology, we can drastically reduce construction time while maintaining top-quality standards.
“This project is a clear demonstration of what’s possible when innovation meets commitment to solving Nigeria’s housing deficit,” said a spokesperson for Family Homes.
Reinforcing this commitment, Governor Sani said, “The Family Homes Funds Social Housing Project aligns with our administration’s commitment to the provision of affordable houses for Kaduna State citizens.
“Access to safe, affordable and secure housing is the foundation of human dignity. We have been partnering with local and international investors to frontally address our housing deficit.”
Also speaking at the event, the Chairman of Family Homes Funds Limited, Mr Ademola Adebise, said, “The Social Housing Project also reflects our shared vision of inclusive growth, where affordable housing becomes a foundation for economic participation and improved quality of life.”
Industry experts have described the Kaduna project as a blueprint for future housing initiatives nationwide, capable of addressing the country’s housing shortfall more efficiently and sustainably.
