Can Innovative Building Technologies Make Housing More Affordable in South Africa?

At the IBT Summit, Lebowa Letsoalo, CEO of the Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA), unpacked how Innovative Building Technologies (IBT) could transform affordable rental housing for low-to-medium income earners in South Africa. ⚡🌍 Beyond traditional brick-and-mortar, IBT solutions offer energy-efficient, water-smart and climate-resilient housing — helping households manage rising utility costs while supporting sustainable urban development. 📑 The conversation also tackled regulatory compliance and red tape, including accreditation, municipal approvals and NHBRC processes, with SHRA working alongside partners to streamline approvals while maintaining quality and safety standards. 🔄 While new technologies can be disruptive, SHRA is open to piloting and scaling approved innovations, ensuring communities are educated, informed and included in the transition to modern housing solutions.
