About Icology Group, Inc.
I RAD™ Structures developed by the Icology Group are easy-to-assemble flat pack building kits in varying sizes and generates a better quality shelter at a significantly lower cost than currently deployed shelters in disaster stricken zones. I RAD™ structures have a higher strength-to-weight ratio, environmentally friendly sourced material and provide higher yield than traditional lumber by using smaller diameter trees providing secure weather-proof homes. Each I RAD™ kit comes complete with all components, fixings, tools and instructions and takes a team of 3 to 4 people 4 hours to assemble. The team does not need previous construction experience so affected families in disaster zones can actually take part in the rebuilding of their homes and their lives.
