Karl Fr. Ketzer
The late Mr. Karl Fr. Ketzer spent ten years
- from 1971 to 1981 - as Senior Professional Assistant and
Quantity Surveyor with the Engineering Department
of the City Council of Cape Town, South Africa.
His responsibilities included medium to large
building contracts and low-cost housing projects on the Cape
Flats outside Cape Town.
He realized current building methods and the
lack of skilled labour were unable to address the growing
housing shortage. This prompted the design of the energy-efficient
Compu-Homes™ building concept. The
Binlet™ waterless sanitation system
soon followed. |
