Meet the Team

Our Vision

To be the world's leading company in creating a desired lifestyle.

At Cape Reed International, environmental consciousness isn't just a commitment – it's a way of life. We craft structures and designs that not only comply with green practices and guidelines but also extend to the careful harvesting and sourcing of natural sustainable materials. Every project represents our commitment to responsible construction practices and a lifestyle that resonates with environmental responsibility and luxurious living.

Our Mission

We design, supply and construct high-quality eco-friendly structures with natural, sustainable materials.

Cape Reed International offers an array of services encompassing turnkey design, supply, and construction of renewable structures. Our expertise spans from stunning thatched roofs to timber pergolas, wooden decking, fences, and more. We seamlessly merge traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, employing the latest techniques from design phase through final construction to ensure each project meets the highest standards of quality and innovation.

Nature's Gift: Cape Reed

At the heart of Cape Reed International's creations lies our primary roofing material – cape reed (thamnochortus insignis). This unique thatching material thrives solely on the southern tip of the African continent, making it an exclusive and sought-after resource.

Our structures are more than just aesthetically pleasing; they are built to withstand the test of time. All structural timber used in our creations is sourced from sustainable forests. This conscientious approach ensures not only the durability of the wooden structures but also the preservation of the very resources we depend on.

Marrying Tradition with Technology

Cape Reed International seamlessly merges traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. From the initial design phase to the final stages of construction, we employ the latest techniques to ensure each project meets the highest standards of quality and innovation.

Fire-Resistant Innovation

Safety is paramount in every Cape Reed International project. Our innovative fire-retardant thatching method incorporates a fire-resistant cloth (Firebloc) into the thatch during construction. This remarkable material can withstand temperatures of up to 500°C, providing peace of mind to inhabitants.

Moreover, the application of Cape Reed Fireshield enhances fire resistance. This chemical application, meeting international health and safety standards, is expertly sprayed onto both exterior and interior surfaces.

Exclusive Living, Global Impact

Cape Reed International has brought exclusive living to properties worldwide. From private villas and luxurious 5-star hotels in the Middle East to charming chateaus and exquisite resorts in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, our footprint spans continents.

Our structures are more than just buildings; they are true testaments to the union of nature's wonders and human innovation.
