Eco Responsible

Bauhu Homes are manufactured entirely from 100% recyclable materials and are designed to preserve the environment by providing exceptional thermal insulation performance minimising running costs and reducing power consumption.

Hurricane Resistance

Our complete range of homes are designed to be built in hurricane prone locations. They are made with a robust steel frame structure which is engineered according to the building code that applies in the build location.
The most common causes of building envelope failure in hurricane and tropical storm winds are water intrusion and impact from windborne debris. This range of buildings have impact resistant glass in all windows and a special hurricane resistant outer cladding from STo which protects not only against impact but also is fire resistant up to two hours. All of Sto’s Hurricane Systems meet the stringent Miami-Dade County, Florida NOA criteria for impact resistance, air and water infiltration, and wind load resistance.
Structural failure is rare in modern buildings providing that they are correctly tied to a ground slab or foundation and that adequate roof to wall top connections are used. An engineered steel frame system uses high tensile bolts to make these connections ensuring the integrity of the building from the foundation right up to the roof structure.

Third party suppliers component failure varies from two to thirty years. Detailed limited warranty terms are available on request.

About Us

“We currently have one Bauhu home ordered for the Virgin Islands, with a few more in progress. The product is a very well thought-out kit, and fills a much needed niche between expensive concrete construction and non-engineered wood shanty or container houses. ”

— St Croix The Virgin Islands

“You and your team are nothing shy of amazing, and we so appreciate all that you are doing to bring our dream to fruition. With gratitude.”

“We've always been interested in prefab solutions for our island, and we've investigated many over the years, but they all have had an Achilles heel somewhere - either pricing, incorrect materials, or structural flaws – These are excellent. ”

— St Thomas US Virgin Islands

“Bauhu's kits are one of only two that we can recommend that we've been impressed with, the other is an all-wood kit - beautiful finishes and woodwork, but a much slower and more expensive process.”

— St Thomas US Virgin Islands

“The goal is to substantially undercut any conventional site-built construction methods, while providing a much better, fully-engineered product. Bauhu has been great to work with, and extremely responsive in modifications to their stock floor plans... knowing that every site has different needs.”

— St Thomas US Virgin Islands

“They spent time with local engineers to get the structure designed well, all the materials have been selected with resiliency in mind, and the pricing undercuts all the conventional construction methods on island.”
