Koto Corp director Kaine Telford and the Mayor of Padang, Indonesia

The Mayor of Padang, Indonesia hands over the agreement to Koto Corp director Kaine Telford for the re-building of 700 plus schools as a result of the devastating Padang earthquake which struck recently.

Replacing the old schools is a priority to get the children back to a routine environment as quickly as possible. In the event of further tremors, the lightweight, energy efficient, green Koto Building System will have many advantages over standard heavy conventional construction.

Either Koto Corp or Koto (M) Sdn Bhd will initiate a Koto factory facility in Padang to address the needs of the community.

THE NEXT GENERATION OF BUILDINGS

KOTO is very well placed compared to any other building system on the planet for a ‘Zero Carbon Home’, and Koto can supply it today.

Agree with it or not!  Like it or not! Al Gore and the Green Movement are driven by “Global Financial Politics”, directing through global governments and Zero Carbon Homes are coming to a government in your locality.

So what does it mean? It means if you continue with ‘Conventional Construction’ you will not survive – in many countries the game is already over.

Like it or not, Change is Imminent.

Developers, consultants, contractors, architects, engineers and corporations need to start thinking and acting on building ‘Smart Energy Efficient’ buildings soon, otherwise they will find their time is limited if they do not comply with the new standards coming in. The smart ones have commenced already.

You accepted the mobile phone and other telecommunications technology, electronic technology, nano technology and more, but still continue to build as we did 300 years ago? … ‘Brick by Brick, Stick by Stick’.

This method comes with outdated labour intensive issues and problems, excessive waste, slow completion schedules, expensive inferior finished product, defective workmanship, defective waterproofing and the list goes on. The opportunity for change is here now!

Many countries are now introducing either a “Star Rating” or an “Index Rating” (energy efficient points system). This system will give added value to your home which will determine the price – consequently, the greater the Star or Index value, the greater the value of your home. Like it or not – this is where it is heading.

Shortly, in some countries, if you do not have a “rating” you will not be allowed to sell your home. Many buyers know this and will source the developer or contractor who will build green today rather than pay the penalty tomorrow because the developer refused to change.

Today many utility companies globally are struggling to provide sufficient power, as the loads on the national grids are excessive. In some countries you will wait up to one year for power connection. It does not make a lot of sense to construct more power plants that generate additional heat and pollution to our atmosphere. However, it does makes more ecological and economical sense to be energy efficient and sustainable, particularly with our buildings.

The Citi Group for example, is spending USD $15 billion on the global offices they either own or occupy. Bill Clinton has launched another $15 billion global initiative for example to make council buildings energy efficient. Most responsible professional architects are either attending, have attended, or are about to attend seminars to go green and sustainable.

In essence, the news is not all the bad because if we pull together, we can all aid in the repair to some of the destruction to mother earth that we are all responsible for. There are global initiatives to get whole nations to go green and sustainable.

So JOIN US At KOTO And Be A Part Of The SOLUTION.

The purpose for this technology is to provide a fully integrated, smart, green, super energy efficient and sustainable, high-speed, IBS building system that simplifies the construction industry.

Clearly, it is the only ‘Solution, to the Global Housing Crisis’ where mass housing is required, because one Koto Processing Line can produce 30 homes per hour, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Professional engineers, architects and consultants have come realising and understanding the benefits of this technology, which offers them a superior product in every facet over conventional construction.

The elite in the Malaysian construction industry inclusive of developers, consultants and government departments have approached Koto and noted that they are re-drawing existing projects using the Koto system, simply because it is no longer profitable to construct projects with the conventional methods.

Clearly, these operators have identified that they understand the need to move forward to a smart, green, sustainable, high-speed, energy efficient IBS system such as the one provided by Koto. It is a fully integrated methodology, complete with high green-index energy star rating and high IBS points qualification.

In view of the feedback and potential projects that can be secured with the Koto High-Speed Building System, a funding program is available for an investor who either has:-

1. Significant projects, or has the potential
2. To secure significant projects, or
3. A funding bank/ funder with funding instruments / philanthropist, NGOs who can merge with global governments / United Nations who wish to benefit from a global cash flow.

It can be demonstrated how an investor with a 1,000 homes project (or less pending its classification) could see a return of the capital investment in approximately 40 days, making this an excellent class A, fiscal responsible investment while doing something worthwhile for humanity.

Water villages at Tawau.

Koto (M) Sdn Bhd has proposed to the City of Tawau to replace the make shift water villages with a Koto Floating City, using the Koto Energy Efficient Building System. The designer of the Koto Floating City- the articulate architect Mr. Hans Bohlmann of Manila, has thought of every conceivable aspect to bring comfort to the water people of Tawau.

The proposal includes a self-sustainable energy efficient township that will have water industries, aqua-culture, waste sewerage and combined solar to provide electricity and lighting for the villages. Village occupants will support a Koto Corp Australia initiative to collect paper, plastics, rice husk waste and rubber tyres, for manufacturing of a range of ancillary products from a technology developed by the inventor of the Koto Building System, that will be useful for the municipality council, highways department and fisheries.

In co-operation with Dr. Ismail and Dr. Pena of Global Quest, Koto (M) Sdn Bhd will provide low cost energy efficient housing for the Agricultural co-operative villages that will be incorporating a new technology to grow high-yield organic rice in a natural environment that is set to revolutionise the food resources.

Another wellness, spa and health resort in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, designed by Mr. Yoko Hasegawa also specified Koto Wall and Roof system to be used in this proposed resort due to the quality mentioned above.

• Bantayan

These block of apartments at Bantayan have been specified to use Koto Building System.

An international standard beach resort located on the northern most tip of Borneo island is converting their current building design to use Koto because of its excellent R-value, quality finishing, ease of installation and high durability of its coating, especially in a sea front environment.
